Nah, man, not you. Anyway, cqholt was probably thinking of the 17% hike in Fulton.

Just leave the dang thing where it is and spruce it up a little. I've got cars older than Philips arena.

Exactly, the arena is just fine. If they want public funds, I say the public should choose what those funds go to, and I say, if anything, they go into omly refurbishment.

If they want a new arena, then they can pay for it themselves.

i do to, and few well maintained pair of dress shoes. This out with the old in with the new mentality is bothersome. If the Hawk ever threaten to leave Atlanta, I say let them go. Atlanta has a lot going for itself to fell like they need the NBA to define it. I doubt they would leave but if the notion was ever made. BYE

No, that would be the state of GA in general. KIA, Mercedes, the film industry. You name it. Endless corporate welfare.

The current georgia dome looks massive big inside compared too this new indoor football stadium there building for the falcons.
And when you are close to the construction site itself, you get the sense that the place is going to be pretty small (relatively-speaking) - perhaps smaller than the Dome. It's a little tricky, though: the Dome and the new stadium are oriented/aligned differently. While the Dome is oriented so that the football field is perfectly aligned in an East-West direction, the new place is seeming to be constructed in a way so that the field will be "slanted" in a Northeast/Southwest direction. This can make size comparisons not a straightforward task. Still - accounting for this, the new stadium seems smaller than you would expect.

At least we get a nice return on the TV/Film industry, and it's only increasing.

Idk what you guys are looking at, but I can tell it's definitely going to be larger than the dome (which isn't the driving factor behind building new stadiums, but whatever). Once the roof is put on it will be obvious, but you can tell even now:



Plus, look at the facts:
