Name is fine, every good stadium has a dumb corporate name.

I'm more worried about the park, which looks more like a minor league complex next to the community amphitheater than a stadium. Unfortunately, between this and the Falcons stadium, we'll be building 2 more facilities in 20 years. Neither are prepared to age well.

We know hipster, you were all about white flight before we even knew what it was.

LOL at someone from Brooklyn talking about white flight. Good place to live now that you gentrified the shite of all the rundown areas?

I'm interested to get over there when my team comes to town, but I was wondering about this. Will it still be alright to get there 3 hours before and have some beers and throw the baseball around?

I'm guessing you can do those things, and I assume the pre game options will be much improved, at least comparable to the Dome is now.

But I want to be able to see a stadium from way off, not a cluster of buildings with a field and some stands around it. I get having it fit in its surroundings, but I don't like these sports complexes where you can barely tell there is a professional arena/stadium/whatever there.

Isn't the Braves owner being a racist buy moving to the white neighborhood?

ATL has to have the one of the worst urban sprawls in the country, so to put the new stadium in Cobb County is just smart. 98% of the season ticket holders are north of atl and freak that traffic.

What? Is that what you think their justification is for moving?
