((HT: 11Alive.com))
The Atlanta Braves front office is trying to figure out how best to build (and properly monetize, naturally...) their new ballpark- whether it's Turner Field II is currently unknown...
Our friends at WXIA-TV got to take their behind-the-scenes tour with them to figure out what is needed, how much is needed, and what to cut out as they build...
So, expect less seats for premium effect, not a whole lot of parking, even less public transportation access, and a lot of headaches for the fans as they commute to one of the more-highly trafficked areas in the entire town...
Enjoy...

CONTINUING: Braves To The Burbs, Where's The Money Coming From...??? Misplaced Priorities...???
((HT: WSB-TV))
A few points of thought...
The HQ would like to know where the money is EXACTLY coming from for the new Suburban Palace...
Since...
A) Cobb County, Brother Phil's abode of choice, has been laying off essential personnel like teachers and hasn't given them raises in the last decade. Schools have had to lay off teachers in situations of tenure (or a lack thereof)...
One high school in particular as an example- Allatoona High School (a new school in the county)- had to lay off coaches in their football program in 2010- and had to wait months for a budget reorganization to reinstate the coaches that were lacking in tenure after the fiscal year started.
So, the longer version of that same story...
New school has no teachers with tenure...
Therefore, they're the first ones laid off by the letter of the law...
New school is, then, rendered temporarily useless by the expansion of the county and the budget shortfalls created by the government that created the school in the first place...
This is the county government in charge of the new Braves facility...
And, B) The idea that the county contribution to the new Braves facility is a tax, but isn't really a tax in name only...
But won't be voted on before any kind of open forum will be vetted...
Make sense...???
Here's continuing coverage of the fallout even as the Mayor of Atlanta, Kasim Reed has both thrown in the towel and not given up...
The larger question is... since Reed threw all his chips in over the Falcons deal, how does he plan on keeping both...???
