Pretty tired of comments like this, I mean I could be wrong on this, but how much time have you spent in either of these areas? Sure if you want to walk downtown in Atlanta late at night, you're going to have some problems, but considering I have been a resident of New Orleans, Atlanta and Washington DC (spent a ton of time in Baltimore, but never lived there) they're like any other major cities, there are areas to avoid and there are areas that are extremely safe. It comes down to common sense and familiarity with the area, something most tourists don't have/won't acquire. On another note, I think for the most part suburb stadiums aren't a good idea, but for the Braves setting up in that Vinings area could work out very nicely. Turner Field has no where to eat/drink at outside the stadium, and would have never been able to convince anyone to open up a business in that area of the city. But with the Vinings area, fans can now atleast sit at some bars and restaurants in the hours leading up to the games. Traffic will be god awful.. But probably overall a better experience than Turner.
