Yeah, the new stadium is closer to you. The Braves of course want to keep their monopoly, but I think it is time for the south to get another MLB team. I think Nashville could be a prime target. Heck, I am in Nashville more than I am in Cobb so I would make it to more games there.

I predicted that this service would end once federal funds for it ran out.

It would have been a whole lot more useful with a commuter rail station to circulate to/from. Will be ironic/stupid if ever get that but then no longer have this.

Even giving the bus a dedicated lane during peak hours/game days would have cost less and allowed it to be more efficient and a better alternative. Face it, Cobb County doesn't take transit serious.

Love that factoid, jsvh. That's awesome! I'm a huge Atlanta United supporter, and also a "Cobb Braves" supporter, hoping that both the struggling franchise and the new stadium which is located in my community, have success. Even though I am no fan of their out of state, faceless, corporate ownership. (Liberty Media is the opposite of Arthur Blank.)

United are also based in Cobb, let us not forget. (Even further OTP!)

Also, let's give ATL United even more credit for having the most goals scored in MLS this season. Yay!

Built on land that were taxpayer money was used to buy and then tear down thousands of affordable housing units, but that's another story.
