Big_Dog Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Ch 2 news 5:00 AM broadcast reporting that Flowery Branch has plenty of room for a new stadium location. The negative would be no mass transportation but they would be willing to work out a solution for a remedy. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuggle'2 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 It would be really strange. I would prefer it inside the perimeter. It would although make it great for me to travel to games. I have family who lives within walking distance of the Branch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Doktor Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Move it farther south into the burbs. Downtown is not a great locale. That's just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlanticFit Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Makes sense. I'd rather be in Clayton, where the old Ford plant was, but I could live with it in Flowery Branch. The more its talked about, the more I like the idea of not having it downtown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_Lo_Touchdowns Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Cool with me I have friends that live out by Flowery Branch already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fibonacci/Mashburn Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I would love for it to be at flowery branch. I mean loveeeee it.It's so much easier to get to the any place they've mentioned. The area is nice.And the best part is I could go tailgating on the lake.......what team do you know who can tailgate on the lake. (well I do know Pittsburgh does since I did it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFalconRises Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 It'd be nice but Falcons would probably have to foot the entire bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu 7 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I was thinking Flowery Branch would love to have it there since the Falcons are already located there.You run into the same infrastructure problems. One way in & one way out and it's not designed to process 60,000+ people in a short amount of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fibonacci/Mashburn Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Cool with me I have friends that live out by Flowery Branch already I'm in Grayson. So it takes me 30 minutes. I really cannot wait to go tailgate before and after the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Dog Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) Flowery Branch would have to give Blank some sort of incentives (tax break, or whatever) but extending Marta up there would be costly....but could be done. Interesting request from the Branch. Edited March 1, 2013 by big_dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fibonacci/Mashburn Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 It'd be nice but Falcons would probably have to foot the entire bill. but land would be cheaper. And you do not have to hire so many cops to block traffic. And you don't have to worry about getting it built before a date......cause you can work anytime.When I was in construction, in Atlanta you could only work from 10 (cause you can't block traffic). Then you have to stop at 11:30 to not block people going to lunch. Then you have to stop at 3:30. And do many people say.....oh we can work at night. But two things. 1. You have to pay the crew more2. You have to quit at 9 with load noise. Jack hammer, regular hammer hitting in nails even, they consider to loudBut outside of sky scraper areas it's easier for time to do things. And that means some places who bid on it, greatly take in a deduction for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominique is Manufique Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) Real estate expense will account for maybe 1% so that is meaningless.Falcons need to play hard ball with the city of ATL. If the people downtown want to collect hand outs and won't budge then move it north to somewhere near I-285 and wipe your hands of downtown.There's plenty that I would not miss about going downtown every sunday.

FalconFanSince1970 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I hate driving out to the Branch just for practice. It's like taking a trip to Chattanooga. I vote hail no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
