I don't think that either. All the stadiums is part of what damaged downtown and drove businesses away.

Right. That is why Fortune 500 companies are moving away from STP?

“Strictly speaking for myself, it’s going to be a problem for us. They are going to be building a lot of parking right across the street from us. There’s going to be a lot of traffic in the afternoon when they’re having ballgames. It won’t be as quiet. Speaking for myself, I think what’s going to happen out there will make it not nearly as pleasant for us.”

So the Braves are counting on all of these employers to let everyone off by 5pm, sucks to anyone that works later than that.
Lets close Cumberland mall & Galleria at 6pm too on gamer days, so fan have a place to park

They may have relocated but I wouldn't be surprised if they held on to the property. Those folks up at Genuine Parts are pretty sharp.

Beats the Marietta Daily Journal whoring themselves out by being the Braves' puff-piece writers throughout this whole thing.

So you don't think them moving two miles further away from STP was due to them as an employer not wanting to be next to STP?

Could be, but they made $14 million on the property and still stayed in Cobb.
