I never realized Atlanta was bigger?!?

I did state it would be on a smaller scale, but from their plans they claim it’ll be larger than the Braves development. Town Madison is to have 1million sqft of retail, 700k of office and 2000 residences with at least 300 apartment units. The Battery has 500k retail 630k office, 450 hotel rooms and 500 residences.

The stadium will obviously be smaller...

I second that. I am a millennial, and can attest to TimCity's statement.

What team is that from? Been a while since I've seen that. Didn't the Stars have the same thing, at least early on in their existence when attendance was high?

Durham Bulls...I snagged the pic from the interwebs, but my parents used to take me to their games all the time as a kid.

As a millennial that was the only time I went to the Stars as well. My comment was a bad attempt at sarcasm to the post I was replying to.
