The Braves never needed a new stadium. Turner Field was a good enough replacement for Fulton County Stadium, but nooooo. Might as well change the name to The Smyrna Braves.

Maybe the glass ought to be replaced with unbreakable, non-scratch PLASTIC.

Of course, some vandals are so miserable unhappy that they would put graffiti on churches or synagogues just to show the world how miserable they are. They can't be stopped.

I read somewhere that the bulk of graffiti spoilers are daddy-less boys. All children have a "father," but not all have a "dad."

The vandal apologized for his actions so all is well.

I’m so glad that I live in a state that doesn’t have any professional sports tems that we’d get stuck financing with taxpayer money!

This whole nonsense of government paying for private sports stadiums needs to be banned. It’s just a way for (mostly) Democrats to channel taxpayer funds to the pockets of their political cronies.

Probably Chinese glaziers. They did the windows for the 9/11 memorial in NY. Paying for these ugly and expensive monuments to banking and skulduggery is just another choice we’re not qualified to make about who gets to put their hands in the honey pot that is our lives.

Let them pay for their own stadiums. If the team can’t generate enough wealth to pay for their own infrastructure, they certainly can’t generate enough wealth for anyone else to shoulder the expense.

The author ignores the side benefits of a new or upgraded stadium.

Since Lambeau Field was renovated, it has attracted more tourists. That translates into more money for the mom and pop sports bars and restaurants surrounding the stadium.

I agree though, that taxpayers shouldn't be responsible for paying for new stadiums. It was Jesse Ventura who said "If they can afford to pay players millions of dollars a year, then they can afford to build their own stadiums."

Tornados are not unknown in that area.

I’d be suspicious of every owner of glass replacement shops in the city.

The overlords decided that a new stadium would be built. And nothing — certainly not the will of The People — was going to stand in the way. So the stadium was built, and the taxpayers got the bill for it. And will continue to in perpetuity ... until the next liberal elitist decides to tear IT down and build another monument to Louis XVI.

Also, now that the ferals know about the glass, expect many more incidents.

2 things involved here.
Get the Braves out of Atlanta as the city is taxing EVERYTHING to pay for their crappola.
2nd, white flight from the city has gone to the Northwest of Atlanta.
Braves following the money.

Incredibly, the Vikings say it will take up to two months to replace the damaged window at U.S Bank Stadium, since all the glass panels were custom-made. There's no word on how much those massive, custom-made glass panels will cost to replace, but they probably won't be cheap.

BLM is alive and well in Minneapolis, which also has a vibrant Somali population. I'm sure glad that fact above is now known publicly.
