With the exception of Turner Fields location, Atlanta of course.
The Falcons, Thrashers and Hawks all play in a very convenient location for arriving by car or train. Before and after the games a lot is within walking distance, including beautiful Centennial Olympic Park, over 8,000 hotel rooms and dozens of places to eat and drink.

No contest, really.
No Contest So Philly's venues must be run down dumps in a barren wasteland with nothing around for miles,and inconvenient by car or train.
Yeah while Atlanta has good venues. Attendance is horrible. I don't know many people that attend these events. I've been to one football game, one baseball, and 2 basketball. When I think of Philly and sports... I think of eagles fans their pretty loyal. Because a lot of people from atlanta are not originally from here you go to a sports venue and see all diffrent types of jerseys. I went to a Flacons-Saints game. It seemed like half the fans were saints fans from the NO.
That's why revised numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau show growth in the city of Philadelphia since 2000.

Anyway, give me Philadelphia for the sports venues. It feels like an airplane hangar inside the Georgia Dome, even when the weather is sunny outside. Turner Field is well-kept, but sterile. Philips Arena is the best venue in Atlanta. As for Philadelphia, Lincoln Financial Field is an outdoor stadium, and Citizens Bank Park doesn't feel nearly as corporate as Turner Field. Philips Arena is a little bit nicer than Philadelphia's arena, but it's still pretty good too. All of their venues are located within walking distance of each other, and are convenient to both highways and public transit.

Perhaps true until last season; now it is the new Cowboy stadium in Arlington, Texas, no question about it. In fact, you can see the difference in attendance on those links right away... the old and the new facility are similarly filled in terms of % capacity, but the new stadium can hold upwards of 110,000 people! It's pretty gigantic.
