Sorry Willie, while I agree with and understand your concerns, to anyone who lives here and is paying attention, this one doesn't wash.

The Braves don't have their pitching of the 90's, AOL/TW isn't funding them like Ted did, and it just isn't the same. I went to opening day, and have a nice digital image of Maddox's ERA after inning one: 36.00.
I wish I had it hosted somewhere so I could link it here.

The stadium has always been a b!tch to get to for affluent suburbanites, and it's just not worth the hassle this year. That's the real driver behind reduced attendance in Atlanta.

Freedom poster brought up a point that I left out of my post 5.

I've attended Braves games since the days of Aaron and Evans.

After the new stadium was built, they started closing off certain streets during games. This really increased my travel time coming from the west side, as I was forced by these closings to join the mass migration of cars headed towards the northern suburbs.

This has caused me to quit attending around 10 games a year.

If the MARTA train went straight to the stadium(Another brilliant decision by those in charge), I would not hesitate to take it.
