They aren't going to sit around & let their stadiums become run down & obsolete......especially when the taxpayers can help fund it!

Atlanta is bidding on several events to host in the future and this gives them a much better chance of securing those events, which in turn, will bring in tons of money to the city.
FWIW, Atlanta is being mentioned as a possible city to bid on the Olympics, again. No way in heck will we get it, but ATL is working hard on the events and tourism front right now.

against the stadium, but we are being told that most of the bill will be paid by non-Atlantans through a hotel, restaurant tax on visitors. Glad my parents and family members stay at my house when they come to town. I guess the rest of ya'll will be buying the new stadium.

Nothing. Went to NFC title game, and the atmosphere was terrific. Granted, I was cheering for the 49ers so that helped.
This is NFL/Blank greed, nothing more.

I thought the Georgia Dome was in great shape. I went to both Clemson games in it last season. I don't get it. Place looks great.

Atlanta didn't go in for a new stadium. Also, Atlanta would have never been granted another Super Bowl without an upgrade in stadium.
It does seem like yesterday we were all raving about how the Georgia Dome was state of the art, etc.
My uncle's company has a suite and I watched Kentucky 1993, Auburn 1997, 2007 and Tennessee 2003 from there. The suites were very nice.

Arthur Blank is second to the bottom currently in profits. The Ga Dome/ crooked city of Atl venders take most profits and leave Blank next to nothing. He will have his own building making all profits including concerts, Super Bowls, college bowls, tractor pulls and Final Fours, etc etc.
No brainer for him.

So dumb and wasteful.
A new Stadium is not needed in ATL.
