Going to a game at the Ted was never a great experience (other than the game itself), hopefully that will change at Suntrust

I don't really like it for older facilities, but what's going on in Atlanta is ridiculous. The Braves and Falcons have good facilities that don't have any need to be replaced yet.
Or what about requiring public votes on all publicly funded stadium projects if not making them out right illegal.

I love the Hawks and every sports team in Georgia but part of the requirement to warrant a new venue should be have you won a championship. You deliver your fans a championship and show them their money is well spent and you get a new venue. If you can't do that as a fan you feel like you're wasting money for nothing.
