Georgia State University and a prominent Atlanta development team want to acquire Turner Field and the sea of parking lots between it and downtown to create a new southern campus for the college and a $300 million mixed-use development that would transform an area threatened by the Braves’ pending departure to Cobb County.
The university wants to convert The Ted into a new 30,000-seat football stadium and build other athletic facilities, student housing, classrooms and green space. A private team led by real estate development powerhouse Carter and Columbia Residential would build a mixed-use campus of shops, restaurants, retail, hotels and single-family and apartment homes on a majority of the surrounding area.

But what about the mid income housing??????
HELL YES!
We went from this being a death knell for the lower I-20 area to something that will be a huge improvement.
ETA: Not to mention we get to keep the title of "Atlanta: land of the stadiums"

Also preserves the 715 monument where Hank hit it over the wall at AFCS.

I've been saying since the Braves' announcement that Georgia St should buy the property. This proposal would be a best-case scenario IMO.

interesting plan. having lived near the Ted before (and not too far from there now), I always wondered why it didn't have some better retail/ restaurant options close by.

Yeah, it's shocking why people are reluctant to invest in that area.

I think GSU buying the property makes a ton of sense, $300M seems like a lot of money for them to shell out tho.
In a perfect world, I think you build a casino right there

Pardon my skepticism.
