Ah! It should be a very lively place then!

MLS cup is not a money-loser like some of the Olympics is it? How much would it contribute to the local economy?

Looks like they finished the park space that was installed where the Georgia Dome formerly stood.

Vaden · #**10667** Posted **Dec 1, 2018, 12:18 AM**

What was the reason that they could not demolish the Georgia Dome first and then build the new stadium where it stood? That way they could have left MLK Jr. Drive remain where it was.

Mercedes Benz looks phenomenal. Such a clean, crisp design.

So where were the Falcons going to play for the three years that it took to build the new stadium

No, Olympics requires building of multiple stadiums for the event.

The MLS cup is played in the existing stadium of the team with the best record, so it is basically all profit.

I guess today's sports teams are so spoiled they could never be seen playing in a temporary setup or in another facility (oh well, it doesn't matter now that it's done).

I think it's a bit more complicated than that, but teams are spoiled.
