I live downtown , but i work in East Cobb , i deal with Cobb Traffic EVERY DAY.

Look lets be reasonable.

1) We dont know what fixes they have in place because no details have been released, so getting all upset about traffic is premature.
2) Tell me how moving 40k fans from downtown to Cobb or anywhere else doesnt create traffic?
3) People are ignoring the fact that the stadium is moving closer to the fan base=less traveling= LESS TRAFFIC BECAUSE LESS CARS? MAYBE
4) Lets be honest, the Braves dont sell out EVERY game, average attendance i think was in the 20K? So, if HALF that 20K is local to the new stadium, you are talking about maybe 5000 extra cars? or less? People are acting like its 40k cars coming to the area.
5) Traffic is always a problem, im sure the Braves and Cobb know that.

When I leave East Cobb at 630 and dont go to my gym, i have to sit in East Cobb surface street traffic, 285 > 75 Cobb traffic, 75 South into downtown traffic , you know what thats like if say, the Braves or like tonight, THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL IS IN TOWN? Its rediculous, but its what happens.

Whats the solution, building a stadium in the boonies where no one will travel anyway? Seems legit
