Also, one of the reason they cited leaving the Ted was the enormous costs of upcoming maintenance. I know that reason was way on down the list, however, I just don't see how retrofitting the Ted for football wouldn't be a money pit.

I'm still of the opinion GaSt should build a new, cheaper stadium on the lot they're surely to get. I'm sure they think they're above it, but a Charlotte-like stadium would be perfect for their needs without investing so much money into retrofitting, maintenance, and keeping everything up to code. Start small, create an intimate environment, and grow from there.

Yeah a 25,000 seat football stadium built with upgrading in mind would perfectly fit GSU's needs now and allow expansion at a future date. I still love the idea of the new baseball stadium being on the footprint of the old Fulton Co. Stadium!

I gotta admit...that is pretty bad ass.

What is crazy is at one time we had the outfield wall from Fulton County in 1996 before it got torn down. Too bad that isn't collecting dust somewhere.

Where did you have it? I guess I'm confused.

It was installed at our baseball field in Panthersville. But it has long since been replaced.. I think
