Not really. Atlanta has the airport and that’s it. Downtown sucks. It isn’t walkable. There isn’t many entertainment options / restaurants / bars. Public transportation isn’t great.
I live here, but I agree. Atlanta is easy for everyone to get to, and has the facilities to host almost anything. Maybe another draw is the people attending your event won't be distracted by other things to do?
Gotta hand it to the committees to attract business to this area, though. The conventions bureau does great work, and the office of film and entertainment keeps the sound stages full.

Did Athens having an 86K seat stadium to play soccer in not have anything to do with it?
You're legit an idiot.

If you'd read longer than 5 seconds you'd see I realized my mistake and admitted as such.

Former Mayor Andrew Young was once the US Ambassador to the UN.
He was a driving force behind the decision.
