I drive it every day. It is way better than 75 at 285.

Does anyone know when the Braves plan to release more and new renderings of the stadium? I mean construction is set to get underway in the next month and the only renderings I have seen is the shot overhead of the stadium which is a joke, and the Pavilion outside the park. The Falcons on the other hand have their own website with more than a dozen renderings and information and these two stadiums are basically at the same stages in their development. Why are the Braves being so secretive? It's funny how both of these organizations the Falcons and the Braves couldn't seem to be more different when it comes to organization and providing useful information to their fans. The Falcons seem very organized and engaged with the fans in providing a very thorough and compelling timeline of events that lead up to the opening of their stadium, while the Braves seem like they haven't quite mastered the complexities of the many issues that are involved. This is probably one of the reason's why the Braves seem to have lost a meaningful connection with many of their fans.

Perhaps the Braves are late in getting together with the designers to formalize the final design elements of the new ballpark, but with the timeline they released last week, it would seem that this should have already been taken care of.

Well, the Braves were left dangling while the city of Atlanta was doing somersaults to placate the Falcons. So it's understandable that they've been forced to play catch up. I'm sure we'll see more details shortly.

Not sure where you got your info. Site clearing starts in July, stadium construction begins in February 2015. Patience, grasshopper.

Sorry I should have said work gets underway in general in the next few months. Plus I heard that AEG and other firms had pulled out of the deal to build the surrounding entertainment complex outside the stadium, so obviously that could impact final plans. I just hope the Braves fans get to see some of the design concepts like the Falcons released, and sooner rather than much later down the road. But yes I know patience is a virtue I do not have.

The city believed it had until a certain date to the Braves' last request, and before that date passed the Braves announced they were moving. I'm not sure there's a clear narrative about who left whom hanging.

When you get Debbie Dooley together with the liberals that's a pretty potent one-two punch. I guess we'll find out whether Cobb's got the right stuff.
