I thought it was funny when the Atlanta Braves decided to build a new stadium in Cobb County. People were like, wasn't this stadium built in 1996 for the Olympics and still pretty decent?

That was when some natives chimed in and basically insinuated the location was hood as fuck and the paying customers preferred to see games in a better area. It made sense to me.

I guess the idea was when those stadiums were built that they would improve the areas. Sadly, that's a huge myth, because most people don't want to live right next to a stadium, so the area around most of those places turns into a ghetto.
