Ok, settle down. There wasn't a WS, Super Bowl or Olympics until the 1990's. If you ever went to Fulton County Stadium there wasn't development around it in the way you are talking about. And neither Fulton County or the Olympic Stadium were "downtown" in the way people are talking about. They were inside the beltway, in the city but not "downtown". The Georgia Dome moved the stadium DIRECTLY downtown and adjacent to their convention center. That timing also coincided with Olympics development and the Super Bowl. The new football stadium is next door to the previous one so it's capitalizing on being downtown also. The new baseball stadium is nowhere near that and was intentionally moved to where it is because getting downtown in Atlanta sucks and the Braves were able to control the land around the stadium and do all of the development we are discussing themselves. It's not like it was organic growth. The area around their stadium is the equivalent of Disneyland. The Braves own all of it and control all of it. Nobody makes money from it except them.
Football started in Fulton County Stadium, then Georgia Dome, then Megatron's Butthole.
Baseball was Fulton County, Olympic Stadium (I forget the corporate name), now Truist Park out in Cobb County.
This is also their 3rd baseball stadium and 3rd football stadium since 1990. The footprints have moved. Football #3 is close to where football #2 was, Baseball #2 was close to baseball #1 but baseball #3 is nowhere close and that's the one that was the most successful.
Miami, New England, Dallas, Jacksonville, Jets, Kansas City
Yankees, Mets, Braves
Flyers, Bruins, Canadiens, Maple Loaves
Tonight is a Giant Meteor game. Can't root for either team so I root for a giant meteor.
Depends on what he's getting from Bona. Probably not 21M, but if handling NILs and fundraising is part of his gig a percentage of fund raising could be part of the deal.
I agree totally. Disjointed is the perfect word for what they were.
I just want to see how they do once people start to hone in on the plan and scheme to disrupt it better.
It's week 2. Let's see what happens with the league getting more and more film of the offensive changes and new defensive personnel and plan before we make definitive statements.
Early last season Ken Dorsey was the OC and they put up 145 points through the first 4 games.
They weren't afraid of Tua running so the DL had more freedom. Miller was impressive tonight and showed the quickness I didn't see last week. Let's hope it continues.
