New Falcons Stadium renders

[KingJudah]

I hope them church ladies dont sell out

Those churches are history.(likely ourstory) Im not a fan of modern cac version of christianity but I dont like when money runs over the average man.

 

[C-NICE]

if its any of those designs its gonna be crazy out here in ATL

 

[MoneyTron]

Sports nuts (fans) always wanna give money to their lords and saviors (owners).


Personally i think the current stadium is ugly but the biggest problem is its location. Dont know who were the idiots that placed it there in the first place. The sh!t currently serves as the watch tower at the border between the hood and downtown Atlanta.

They need to overtake that hood area west of the stadium, period.

They said they are going to rehab some of the westside but ain't nobody trying to revive the Bluff breh.

They'd have to find a way to relocate all of those people down there in Vine City. That's not happening.

A new stadium to fill with away team fans.

What exactly is wrong with the Georgia Dome? Its barely 20 years old?

Arthur Blank has the worst stadium deal in sports. He makes no money from the Georgia Dome so he threatened to move the falcons of course...

 

[Big Boss]

looks like a soccer stadium

getting them tax payers money ready

It'll be paid for by the hotel/motel tax in downtown Atlanta. So the tax money is coming from outta towners, mostly

What exactly is wrong with the Georgia Dome? Its barely 20 years old?

It's been alotta back & forth on what is or isn't wrong with the Dome. Falcons say the roof/stadium enhancements cost up to $300 million. Honestly there's nothing seriously wrong with the Dome, but it will help with securing Super Bowl's, Final Fours, World Cups, CFB Playoffs, etc.

That's not the case here

let me give you transplants a history lesson: Historically, in most cities with a sports team/stadium, these stadiums are built in the hood where the property is cheap & there's less resistance to build things there. The Falcons spent the first 20 years playing at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium with the Braves (which is in Summer Hill, Pittsburgh hood ass areas). They moved across town in the 90's to the Dome which is Vine City (also a hood ass part of town, to the Westside). Its not a border b/w the hood & downtown. It IS in the hood. The new stadium will STILL be in Vine City near where the current Dome sits & built even deeper into the hood b/c they're tearing down historical churches & other historical buildings in Vine City to make room for it. They say they plan to put $15 million into Vine City to restore the community, but

@ overtake the hood area west of the stadium. That's the whole Westside, fukk is you saying?

From an engineering standpoint:

• The first one has way too many moving parts and requires more real estate when it has to expend/open up.
• The second one is the easiest to implement AND it looks much better.

But knowing things work in politics i bet they go for the 1st

@ the 2nd being easier to build. Both of them seem like some architect's dream. Both would probably cost over a billion. Neither will ever get built. They'll dumb it down to save cost.

 

[Big Blue]

them old church ladies giving them problems down there. on the site they won't, right behind the dome, they need two old churches that have both been there since the 1800's to sell and currently they said they aint selling. saw this on nbc nightly news last night...

Eminent domain will take care of that.

Couldn't have said it better.

The Saints guest house gon be doper than their main crib

I think the GA Dome just need renovations, but I betcha bytchass Gooddell told Blank, no new stadium = no Super Bowl.

 

[iamstr8fire]

They had this on the news last year. Local hicks were like 'I like the GA Dome better' these new designs look like spaceships

 

[AVXL]

Yea probably. Like someone else mentioned, Blank generates some money from the Dome, but he doesn't own it. The Georgia World Congress Center Authority does. The GWCCA will still own & operate this new facility, but Blank's puttin up damn near a billion. The value of the Falcons are about to go way way up with this

@JKFrazier, tired of reading intruder trying to tell me about our city breh. nikka lives in fukkin Alpharetta. Go write about Mansell Rd nikka, leave this Atlanta shyt to the natives

 

[Marciano]

Snyder, you better be watching this. A stadium like that sure would look nice in D.C.

I think that would be hard to do. The stadium is not even 20 years old, they just renovated it the past 2 years. FedEx has the naming rights deal until 2025. There's really been no other use for the stadium except Redskins games. The soccer team would rather play at RFK (unless you tear that down but folks see that as a landmark & are sentimental about it)

I don't see where there's room in DC to be honest, the biggest problem with FedEx is the lack of public transportation.

Skins fans making that mile walk back to the Metro after a loss is like the Trail of Tears.

As far as the Falcons stadium renderings, they're both sick but that 2nd one is goodness gracious

They'll dump they ass in section 8 housing in Riverdale/Clayton County and keep it moving.
