It's only a matter of time down there. First they can't afford their houses, next they wont be able to afford a car to drive to their suburban arenas, next their seasons tickets, then eventually the whole team. ATL seems to be the biggest loss at the moment. We'll see how that goes *crosses fingers*
ps: I know ATL & Tampa's arenas are urban... I was just bein a bug

I actually heard that both arenas were located on the Mountain next to power centres.
