re: #292 lawhawk

I can’t help but note that Cobb County will be stuck with a huge bill for the Braves stadium move. There was nothing inherently wrong with Turner Field (other than the complete lack of transit options). The Braves wanted to move to a smaller stadium further away from downtown Atlanta, and didn’t want to encourage folks from the core to come to games.

The team is moving in the opposite direction of every other major stadium project undertaken in the US over the past 25 years - which is to relocate stadiums closer to downtown and with more transit.

The way I read that, they team owner ship wants its game attendees to be more white and suburban. Am I reading that right?
