So let me get this straight - the Braves don’t even play in Atlanta anymore, but 13 miles north of Downtown Atlanta in Cumberland, Georgia. That means people who go to the game, will get ripped at the game and then drive their rental cars to ‘the city’ where the hotels are. Seems to me that the Government of Georgia just prevented a whole lot of drunk-driving accidents by helping to rid themselves of the game.
As they built the stadium there....the hotels moved in. Around a dozen within a mile of the stadium (walking distance), and another dozen within three miles. No one stays in Atlanta anymore....if they are there for the park or mall business.
Buckhead and Smyrna took most of the business. To be honest, I don’t think anyone misses the old park, the surroundings there, or the heart of Atlanta business. Whole business plan changed once they left the city.
I live less than 5 miles from the stadium. It’s in the Cumberland area of Cobb County. It does have an Atlanta address but not in Atlanta proper. It does have quite a few hotels in walking distance . I’ve never been in the stadium and the only thing it as done is increased crime. Tax payers still on the hook.
