It's a pain in the arse driving all the way to the ghetto of Atlanta to watch a Falcons game when 90% of Falcon fans live outside the perimeter.
Maybe so, but as a visiting fan that location is AMAZING. I've been to a few games there and usually stayed within walking distance of it and nearly every attraction I visited short of stone mountain.
ETA: Also that dragon-con with the roaming band of dressed up people dancing to the guy with the speakers on him was hilarious/awesome.

It might be fun for vistors coming in once a year, but as far as Atlanta residents go,you have to understand the demographics. We're not like New Orleans where people embrace the downtown environment. The footprint of "Atlanta" is enormous and extends 40 miles north. The fans that will spend the money to come to the games are "Atlanta" residents but don't live in the city limits. The same thought goes for Turner Field...it's in a shite location that no one wants to go. We love Atlanta, but we love the suburbs of Atlanta where we don't have to worry about getting mugged, shot, raped or murdered.
