The city itself may only be 500,000, but the metro area is about 6 million.

Very true.

It’s made up so 13 counties.

Some of which are not even close to where the proposed arena is.

6 of the 13 have a very very large black population. Cobb and Gwinnett are Democrat for the first time since becoming counties. Fulton is what Fulton is and aside from the black population in Atlanta/Fulton, it has a ton of liberals and homosexuals. Not your typical hockey fans.

So the powers that be are pinning their hopes on, I don’t know who to carry a sports franchise that is very expensive to maintain.

That’s right. Atlanta is the largest metro area in North America without an NHL team right now.
