No clue. The Georgia Dome opened in 1992 and apparently, despite only being 21 years old, is now totally obsolete for the Dirty Birds and thus the taxpayers of Fulton County are going to be on the hook for $200m to get them a new nest.

Now, now. They have constantly reassured us that it all comes from hotel taxes and thus is paid by out of state visitor with no effect of the local economy.

Isn’t there some concern for the viability of the soft roof of the Georgia Dome..IIRC, there was considerable damage when a tornado hit a few years ago.

I’m not a big Arthur Blank fan. Why didn’t the taxpayers tell them to go eff themselves? Even the Miami Dade taxpayers said no to Super Bowl renovations to Joe Robbie (still call it that).

As of 2011, the GWCC (Which governs the Georgia Dome) had $112.6 million in debt still owed bonds from the construction of the Georgia dome, completed in 1992. They are about to double down and roll a hundred million of debt forward.
