Seems like it’s only a matter of time at this point.

Roswell would be nice for people like me. Just a straight shot on Hwy 92.

Seems like a waste to go into such a poor sports market again

What Canadian city needs a new team?

Last two moved to Calgary and Winnipeg. I guess Hamilton can get one in about 10 years when this one fails.

The proposed area seems to be right between exit 13 and 12 which is a pretty good spot honestly. Lots of stuff already there as far as bars, restaurants, and entertainment places. That’s not counting the proposed new area. Unfortunately traffic on 400 is already bad enough it’ll be insane on game days .

seems to be the leader of the pack at this time of cities without an arena yet

This really isn’t saying much, Houston already has an arena.

I guess there's no room around the Battery.

3rd NHL team in Atlanta, the worst sports city in America

Will they ever learn?

Where will this team end up moving to in a few years?

Hoping Quebec or someplace else in Canada where the people actually care.

GTFOH.

Yes it is.

They'll be in Atlanta. This time they will be closer to their core of fans(see the Braves) and more importantly, better ownership, which is the #1 reason that both the Flames and Thrashers left.

There are a lot of people who care about hockey here. A lot.

Like I said earlier, I'm just here now for the melts.
