Same. ITP are crazy people.



People OTP are cookie cutter. You should never be cookie cutter.

Plus, from what I see, it's always the OTP people who bitch and gripe about everything that has to do with the city.

I recognize that taxes on taxis and hotel rooms have an impact, however minor, on me. That impact isn't that great, however.


In theory, however they ALWAYS overestimate the economic impact of these projects and the tax revenue both the new stadium and new tax will bring in and of course underestimate the cost to the city and tax payers. In the end this is crony capitalism at it's finest or worst more accurately.

That's because you people keep on spreading south. Stay out of our suburbs and we'll stay out of your city.

If they're smart they'll make sure the new stadium capacity is half of what the Georgia Dome is now. Maybe they'll be able to fill it up all the way then.

What do you mean 'you people'? I go OTP like twice, maybe three times a year and that's to go to the beach.

The Falcons attendance is fine.

I don't recall the 'Aints attendance being all that great before your lonely little Super Bowl season.

No argument, If you are claiming the Saints couldn't sell out the Super dome before 2009, you would be wrong.

I'm not a Falcons fan. I just support the new stadium.

My team has more Super Bowls than the entire NFC South combined.

Castlebury is a cool little area, but nothing will convince you OTPers to embrace life.

I live about as ITP as one can get. Congrats on making assumptions though.

There are plenty of cool areas ITP. OTPers don't like anything that's not just like them though.

While this is true, the cost to me will be minimal as I live in neither the City of Atlanta nor unincorporated Fulton County.

However, I do have a soul and refuse to live OTP.

Holy shite, you people are like cockroaches when you see a thread about the Falcons.

Fine. Your attendance was fine. Your fans weren't nearly as vocal and fricking obnoxious though. Better?
