Moving 'em out closer to the burbs would make me happy.

I know I'm much more inclined to go to events at Gwinnett Arena or the Verizon Amphitheater in Alpharetta than I am to ride downtown for Phillips, Lakewood, The Fox, etc.

I suspect I'm gonna be seeing a lot more Gwinnett Braves games in person than I am games at Turner Field unless they lose their mind on pricing. I'll have to wait for 'em to work out the traffic issues first though.

I agree. I would love to see the Falcons in an open air stadium surrounded by plenty of parking for tailgating. Never like domes myself.

The proposal on the table is for a convertible. Open the roof if weather is nice, close it if not.

Myself, I think football should be played in the mud if it's raining. But I'm old school.

We have two of those here in Houston. I haven't been to a Texans game at Reliant, but I'd imagine it's nice to have the lid on and the A/C working during those August and September games.

The Astro games at Orange Juice Park usually start with the lid closed, then around the 6th or 7th inning after the sun sets they open it up. I've been to a few games where they started out with the lid off. Our seats were in direct sun for the first several innings and it was ring out the shirt time before the shade arrived. It was a lucrative day for the beer vendor.

Hear hear! By halftime the only way to tell which team is which is by the color of their helmets.
