Not really? You know what the problem with Turner Field is? It’s in Atlanta.
While that sounds facetious, the fact is, the Braves did several studies to see where their actual ticket-buying fans were coming from... the ones that actually shelled out cash for games.
If you haven’t figured it out yet, they were overwhelmingly white, and from the outer Atlanta suburbs. And they were buying fewer tickets every year. Yes, Atlanta crime is part of that. So, they decided to go to where the paying customers are. It doesn’t excuse making taxpayers pay for the stadium, but the Braves had good reason to move. In 20 years, Atlanta will be Detroit with humidity.
