Georgia State eyeing Turner Field property after Braves move

ATLANTA -- The president of Georgia State University said that he sees a lot of potential in the Turner Field property.
Since his arrival in 2009, Dr. Mark Becker has overseen some staggering growth in GSU's downtown Atlanta campus -- from new construction projects like its law school and dormitories -- to an expansion of the student body to more than 32,000 students.
When he looks at the Turner Field property to the south of GSU's campus, Dr. Becker sees what may be the future.
"There's a lot of land out there," Becker said in an interview with 11 Alive News. "You could do a variety of things. You could see housing developing. Grant Park is not that far away. You might see some retail potentially in that area."

I'd turn it into a landfill.

Everytime I go to a Braves game, I'm in disbelief at the idea of the Olympics being held anywhere near there.

I like this idea. Maybe even keep it as a sports/entertainment complex.

or are they wanting the dome

MLS is going to the new Falcons stadium.

I honestly barely remember a thing I was so young when I was there for the Olympics.

Agreed. GSU's current athletic fields are 12 miles from downtown, the Ted's property would be more than sufficient to bring them closer to campus in conjunction with additional housing/mixed-use options.

Pretty solid idea.

Nothing to contribute here other than Nic Wilson is a monster.

Kind of hard to do when most of the surrounding property owners put in gypsy lots for gameday parking.
