City of Atlanta made the erroneous assumption that it could take the Braves for granted. That is a misunderstanding of the super competitive realm of big league sports franchising.

Contrast the way the city pulled out all the stops to satisfy the demands of the Falcons.

Again the city was negotiating on behalf of the GWCC and State. And the city did not sway away from the preferred south site, even when the falcons turned to the north site. The city and GWCC will benefit more from a multi-purpose, retractable roofed, stadium than a stadium that serves 1 purpose.
