First time in a suburb where hockey is huge due to the rich transplants from up north who love hockey.
Downtown Atlanta? NOPE - suburb - hell yes.
Getting to downtown Atlanta from suburbs to catch a game is incredibly difficult due to traffic. It makes for a long evening. (especially if you have to work the next morning)
Downtown ATL (proper) is NOT a hockey town, but Atlanta suburbs would be a huge success. However, Downtown Atlanta is actually a huge success of Soccer. From what I have gathered, the previous hockey attempt was a failure because of the management - the fan support wasn't really the problem

We have two hockey rinks here in north metro (The Cooler and Ice) with significant youth leagues. College teams played here for a while, too. Auburn vs UGA for instance. Gwinnet Gladiators put 5k per game in the stands for minor league game.

Getting to the Forsyth location will be a mega bitch for people not in Forsyth, North Fulton or western Gwinnett. Add in no MARTA access and you basically are stuck on 400.
