Maybe they'll put the next ballpark where the GA Dome currently sits.


That would be great. I actually like Turner Field fairly well as a stadium, but the location is terrible. I have always thought it should have been built where the Georgia Dome is to take advantage of transit and to let people walk to it. People are much more likely to walk to and from baseball games and do stuff before and after the games. Football you need a ton of space for people to park and tailgate.

I heard they're planning on developing the blue lot into a shopping/dining area so I think they're in it for the long haul with Turner Field

would love for them to develop the area around Turner

hell, they were putting Bait Cars in the blue lot for the TruTV show

The reason the Ted is in its present location is due to needing a cheap already-owned site in order to build an 85K seat stadium for the Olympics. Very shortsighted decision not to put it near a MARTA station.
