New Falcons Stadium renders

[intruder]

are u an engineer? (honest question)

Yes but I am but not Civil nor Mechanical Engineer.

But having gone to school with them and my father was a mechanic + my uncle (moms brother) is a Civil engineer + my other uncle (moms cousin) is an architect so i kinda have an eye for these things.
Oh.. and my first major was architecture and its still a passion of mine.


But all that s irrelevant because Common sense will tell you the first is harder to maintain implement.

Dude seriously look at the first structure and see the amount of moving parts that have to move IN SYNC for the dome to open + the area adjacent to it that must remain empty while it open whereas the second one opens up it's top by pushing back each slice individually and done.

That area is desperate for a revival. That why i say takeover all that hood area west of the stadium. shyt is disgusting to drive through

Vine City is right at the border between the hood and downtown.

The stadium got bunched up with Phillips Arena and the CNN Center. Which limited the number of ADDITIONAL businesses that could have been opened near it since those other structures are already there. I'm not sure which came first but bunching them up together instead of spreading them out to EXPEND the downtown area westward or wherever was a big mistake.

The Omni, which was connected to the original CNN Center & adjacent to the original Georgia World Congress Center, was the first sports facility built there & built before the Dome & sat where Philips Arena sits now. That area was constructed as a sports/convention/business epi-center of downtown Atlanta. The way the city was built, expanding into Vine City, into an existing sports/convention complex made sense. It wasn't a mistake based on your carpetbagger, 21st century narrow minded view of Atlanta

By overtaking the hood i mean put a structure there that will attract businesses to establish there. Once you do that it brings up the property value around it which also brings in more police presence. Do that and watch all the drug dealing and prostitution that goes on in that area go away immediately.

I have a chick i was talking to that lives in the area off Beckwith. We 'd be on her front porch chilling and would see all kinds of prostitutes being picked up on the corner. That shyt would end. The poor people would just have to move but if they owne the homes they'd be able to sell higher than before so it's win for them too

What structure is gonna do that if a fukkin billion dollar stadium couldn't do that? shyt, they put Centennial Olympic Stadium/Turner Field in Summer Hill almost 20 years ago & that area is still economically depressed. You talking pie in the sky fantasy theories that don't work. They're building the new Dome & destroying Vine City & that's with "good intentions" in the form of 15 million "renovation" dollars.

BTW, you realize the Philips Arena/CNN Center/GWCC is its own police precinct? That has done nothing to deter crime in the Vine City community

Well it works in other cities s why not atlanta?

Ask anyone who lived in Miami throughout the 90's about how things were before the new arena? Bayside was always there but area was shytty. They build the arena and bam all businesses wanted part of downtown all the sudden. I've seen cats pick up prostitutes right across bayside when i used to catch the bus. Arena gets built, more businesses come to Byscayne and that little part of downtown flourished.

So what is Atlanta doing different? Understand that I'm not dissing Atlanta. I liek the place. I live all the way up in Alpharetta but always find myself downtown for some reason. My dream would be to buy a house near Grant Park. But at the same time the way the city congested everything into that sports complex you mentioned DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME.

They could keep MLK in tact to be honest. MLK starts right by the Dome & goes past the AUC into Westview thru Adamsville & ends down towards 285. MLK is fine. Keep in mind the Dome sits on Northside Dr, if they tear down the parking lots to the right of the Dome they'll have to do serious construction there at Northside to bring more businesses to the area. But remember there are churches along Northside headed to the Dome so I don't see where they're gonna build all these businesses at

Where else were you gonna build a stadium in Atlanta? They put the Olympics in the hood to try & boost the hood and it failed. Its also a nightmare to get to the game b/c of traffic & b/c MARTA doesnt have a station near Turner Field. It wouldve been counter productive to put the Dome anywhere other than its current location. Your idea of what makes sense DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME

CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




































They Still Trash Tho

 

[ATLien]

...that 2nd version

 

[DerrtySouthpaw]

and that light bill still gonna get handled tho. swamp nikkas

 

[hashmander]

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

they always say that shyt with these stadium/arena developments. what do the counties/cities do with hotel tax that the out of towners pay? if they divert those funds to a stadium isn't something else losing out? is that something else beneficial to the taxpayers of that city?

 

[Hammer]

too bad it will be empty every game
