Falcons stadium push not about making Atlanta better

The Superdome in New Orleans housed the homeless after Hurricane Katrina, right?

And why does a team with so much talent and a dozen playoff appearances end every season with a loss? Stonehenge? Don't talk about ....Stonehenge. Stonehenge? The Druids are an open book compared to the Riddle of the Falcons.

Here's a handy tip for teams wanting their cities to cough up millions of dollars for a new stadium: don't blow a huge lead at home in the playoffs.

Stonehenge predicts the year the Falcons will win the Super Bowl. They just haven't figured out which year it is, yet.

This is about Super Bowls, kids... Atlanta ain't getting another until they get a new shed.

STOP GIVING PUBLIC MONEY TO GREEDY BILLIONAIRES AND THEIR STUPID SPORTS FRANCHISES!

How many times do you need to get burned before you finally get it through your systems?!

LOL you don't think the POLS funnel most of the money to their cronies ?

Greed, greed, greed.

Ya don't share revenue from luxury boxes and corporate seating. And all that free PSL money. New stadiums are smaller than the old ones, but oh that special seating is bigger....

Why is that? It's not that old, and has had several updates. Is it because of it's seating capacity?

The true beauty of being wealthy is having the poor pay for your toys. Whatever percentage of public funds is used, the same percentage of seats should be made available for free. That's only fair no?

The Ginger God has stated that theGeorgia Dome is not SB-caliber anymore.

As 50 is fond of saying - you can look it up.

But that shouldn't mean only a new stadium will change that.

Tick Tock the clock is ticking get some players then worry about a stadium!

Look, Arthur Blank started and owns Home Depot, he should be able to build a new stadium himself just from his shelf stock. Jeesh.

It "shouldn't"...

But - it will.


Indianapolis will get another Super Bowl before Atlanta will. Book it!

But, a new stadium isn't going to help the taxi drivers, restaurants and bars. In fact, if the ticket prices are substantially higher, fans will have less money to spend outside the stadium, so it might even hurt local businesses.
