Got to disagree with you breh, when I saw that new stadium on Hard Knocks I was like :ohhh:, that other design makes it like any regular stadium

It looks like some one took a soccer stadium and to make it into a FB stadium
plus I don't like the scoreboard being apart of the roof....The scoreboard it a weak
knock off what what they did in Jerry World.

I gotta disagree with you. Seeing the Birds Nest open on gamedays :wow:

It will be an asset to our downtown skyline & it simply looks beautiful. Outside of the BS they did to get that land it's a great move for the city

Arthur Blank, Mayor Reed and Andrew Young pretty much forced
the members of Mt.Vernon and Friendship Baptist church to give up the land to build the stadium.

Originally plans were going to be to build the stadium in Doraville.

Doraville was never going to work...just wasn't a feasible site and I don't know how much money Dekalb Co was trying to invest in that site. But I remember when they mentioned Doraville and I just thought, that has some of the worst traffic in Atlanta on the top end of the perimeter, why would you want an extra 70-80,000 there on Sundays?

With the current site the location they picked is better than the alternate South site which would've been caddy corner to the GWCCC across from Ivan Allen & Northside. That walk from there to the closest MARTA station :huhldup:

It was, But sated by AVXL it wouldn't have been feasible

DORAVILLE, Ga. -
If the Atlanta Falcons have to look to the suburbs for a place to move the Georgia Dome, they can cross Doraville off the list. The old GM plant in Doraville has been the most talked-about alternative for a potential stadium outside the city, but the mayor says "no thanks."

The 165-acre property has plenty of room for parking, and there is infrastructure that includes highway access. But Mayor Donna Pittman says it's not what residents want-- so her answer is no.

"I respect the thoughts of my citizens, and we have to listen to what they say, and they came out again with a resounding no. This is not something they wanted," said Pittman

Doraville residents voted previously when a developer floated the idea of a stadium being put on the site back in 2009. Pittman says the cost outweighs the benefit, and the city's goals and plans for the site have a catalyst for revitalization-- something she says she heard council members say they didn't see a stadium doing.

Pittman says she things what the city and region need most is jobs-- high-tech, year-round jobs.

"We listen and we respect our citizens, and unless they've changed their opinion since 2009-- and from what I'm hearing, they have not," she said.

Meanwhile, the Atlanta City Council will take up the stadium issue again on Wednesday. That meeting happens at 11:30 a.m. at Atlanta City Hall, and it is open to the public.

Really? The alternative one you posted looks a hell of a lot like a soccer stadium tbh, like the ones you see with Manchester United for example. the real one looks very unique.

...I'm sure someone has mentioned it...but Dimitroff and his drafting is on the hot seat to me. Especially what he's done in the mid-late rounds :beli:

Agreed, but I think this season we see it pay off.

Holmes
Goodman
Maponga
Mass
Toiolo

All players in their 3rd year or less drafted in the mid-rounds who will have a (final) chance to show what they're worth this season.

If Holmes helps keep Matt upright, 1-3 of Goodman, Maponga, and Mass become a solid pass rusher(s), and Toiolo catches the few passes that get thrown his way, then TD looks like a genius. It's really all about development. :ld:

Now Free Agency? :usure:

Jackson, Soliai, and Asamoah better earn them checks :ufdup:

Anyone confident about this fukking game today? :comeon:

I'm confident. The reason the Aints have had success vs. us the last few years is because they have a CLEAR coaching advantage, not even close that Payton>>>Smitty in every facet of being a coach. If you look at our most recent games, especially the two last season, it came down to one possession in one score games. Difference this yr is that were healthy, were at home and it's our rival. We NEED this win, not just for bragging rights but b/c Smitty & Co need to get some goodwill going EARLY.

If you believe last yr was an aberration and not the start of a trend then we win this game. I got us winning 35-31
