If Atlanta is good enough to host the premiere event in all of football every December, then it should be able to handle a Super Bowl just fine.

The city still blows though. That's why the Braves are sailing out of town.

Lincoln is a pretty nice city. It's a little big, but it's nice

I wouldn't go that far. The power failure during the halftime show didn't help the cause.

I had automatically figured you were talking about an auburn game but I am obviously a dumbass. The demo is certainly much different for a Falcons game although I have never felt scared or even worried. I assume you were in Carolina gear which may change your experience.
I got PSL's on the 50 yard line by the 100 yard bar. I am excited as hell about it tbh.

The entertainment outside the stadium is what makes NOLA a good site. The stadium is not the reason. Imagine a state of the art stadium in that same setting.

I had an awesome time at the Chick-Fil-A kickoff between Auburn and Louisville. Louisville fans, aside for one that left at halftime, were very pleasant. As for the Atlanta and Carolina game, eh, it was terrible. The Atlanta fans that lined the streets and the stadium were unbearable. Take what you want from this statement, but the personalities that surrounded the stadium following the NFL game were much different than the ones from the college game. "Ghetto" and "thug" can be used to describe the people: not just from appearance, but from demeanor.
You described NFL fans vs college fans generally

Why would I pay to go to the SB? Not worth the money. I have an HD TV set for a reason.

Sure, a new stadium is often (not always) better than the old one, but IMO they aren't $1 billion better.
I personally hope Louisiana and NOLA spend their dollars on better things than a new stadium. I've been to several newer stadiums, and the Superdome is my favorite NFL venue. A brand new stadium in the same location might be a little better, but honestly it wouldn't make that big of a difference.
I think Atlanta's new stadium looks cool (seems like I'm in the minority on that) and that it will be an asset, but I believe overall public spending will be in the neighborhood of $600 million. Atlanta could have done a lot of good for that kind of money.

My best sporting experiences have been at the game live.

Atlanta is already developing some really solid neighborhoods. It's night and day from what it was before I left for college. Back then, you had a smattering of notable bars and restaurants throughout the city, a string of shitty but fun bars in Buckhead, and lame stuff for tourists who didn't know any better.
Inman Park has come to life as a culinary destination, VA Highland is still solid, Decatur continues to do well, Buckhead is whatever you want it to be, West Midtown is exploding, and Midtown continues to grow and improve as the most pleasant business and visitor corridor.
Despite the City's focus on downtown through stupid concepts like the streetcar, what'll really bolster the park area is the southward expansion of West Midtown and the continued growth of Inman, Old Fourth Ward/Ponce City Market.
ATL isn't too shabbby, and a ton of the in-town neighborhoods are looking up. While the area around the dome isn't great, it's definitely trending upward. Centennial will be redone by then and the surrounding area has improved greatly over the last few years. Castleberry Hill to the south of the dome has some cool spots and should continue to improve as well. I actually think had they also built the new Braves stadium in that area, CH could have really exploded. There's some existing infrastructure down there that could make for an interesting "old town" neighborhood.
