Nothing is wrong with Turner Field. The issue isnt with the venue, its with the broken promises Atlanta has not fulfilled to the Braves.Originally Posted by David88vert
Great move for the Braves, much better location, much better fan experience. Turner Field was a great venue, terrible location and terrible experience. There is a lot more to this than what the Falcons deal was.
City Of Atlanta promised the Braves 100s of millions in investment into the surround infrastructure for restaurants, bars, retail, hotels, etc. After the crash of 2008 all that never happened. Braves have tried for YEARs to get something done and it never worked out. Atlanta always was too greedy to let them plan and build their own facilities. When Atlanta bent over backwards to give the Falcons a new stadium, the Braves were upset. And they moved, rightfully so.
