No one is allowed to go to it anyway, so who the heck cares?

Usually cities vie for the opportunity to host these events years in advance. Obviously because there’s so much that goes into hosting them, from a logistical and public safety stand point?

If I’m not mistaken, New Orleans was the only city that put in for the 2024 Super Bowl. Lots of cities don’t want the hassle and pay out the overtime anymore. With terrorism still very much on peoples minds, as it should be, the amount of money paid out to cops, firemen, etc far outweighs the money generated from hotel taxes and licensing fees.

For what? A few days to a week of nonsense.

So, if the MLB wants to pull out, I’m quite sure the folks of Cobb County aren’t going to be mad. Hopefully they can take all the liberal movie folks with them.

This Cobb County folk will not be mad at all.

Five days ago just across I-285 from the Braves stadium, Truist Park, there was a shootout in broad daylight in the parking lot of Cumberland Mall, which is just across Cobb Parkway from The Galleria.

Man, child shot outside Cumberland Mall, police say

I worked in an MCI wire center for several years in the 1000 building on Circle 75 Parkway that now wraps around Truist Park.   I also had to maintain telecommunications equipment in the 900 and 1100 buildings.   It sure has changed down there and we didn't even get a free t-shirt.   We did get a higher tax load.

The networks that will lose lots of advertising $$. You know, the China-backed “news” operations.
