I've been to the ga dome. It's not quite Jerry world but its a damn fine stadium. I always thought it was very nice. Building a new stadium would be the epitome of wastefulness.



So have I and its lacking the high-dollar amenities where the money is made. Include the fact that the design is significantly dated with only two other stadiums with similar characteristics (and one of them being replaced in 3 years) it isn't that far fetched.

Replacing the Georgia Dome is ridiculous. It is a perfectly functional dome that is only about twenty years old. But it is clearly going to happen and this story is just Blank's way of trying to get the taxpayers to fund more of the cost of the new stadium. The whole thing is an absolute waste.

And of course there is only about a 1% chance of the new LA team coming from Atlanta. Personally I think the Raiders make the most sense. They are already in California and used to be in LA. They have possibly the worst stadium in the NFL and their attendance has been among the lowest for several years.

Jacksonville was really struggling a few years ago, but they have new ownership and their attendance has improved. They are also making a push to be one of the teams that plays in London regularly.
