Well our SAT scores have been higher, so you might learn something. You are ghetto and commuter U undergrad with transient masters and doctorate students who give to craps about the school other than the convenient location. It is easier to get into GaState than GaSou btw today check it, no entrance matrix at GS. You have time on us being a U for decades longer and a location that would lend itself for higher enrollment for post secondary interest congrats. With all those masters and doctorates degrees confirmed but yet cant raise decent money for athletics or get respectable attendance at athletic events. Your baseball team plays in Panthersville....f'ing Panthersville...in a rec league field...really. Hopefully you get picked up by Coosa because of market size so the Sun Belt will not be continued to be dragged down.
Someone from Gasot dares call another school "ghetto?" Ok, I'll play.
Now that that has been clarified, back to the topic at hand.
The left field fence at Turner Field is 335 feet from home plate. The cheap option would be to put one corner of the field (specifically, the back corner of the end zone) where home plate is now. Since a football field will need about 375 feet down the third base line counting buffer space, some of the left field seats in the lower bowl will need to be removed. This could be a relatively simple operation since one bullpen is just beyond the left field foul pole, and there is dead space behind the batter's eye in center field. If the sideline bench area isn't deep enough with the sideline in the third base line, just shift the field a few feet further into the outfield.
If there was no intention of using it for baseball ever again, a new grandstand could be built in right field.

You can't for one second tell me not to look at your site as the end all be all, and then when I throw it back, it is an anomaly. It is just where the money is. When someone gets raped in Buckhead, people respond I can't believe that happened here. When someone gets raped in Summerhill, people respond... well it is a poor area it must be rough.
You are right. Facts are facts. There are safer places than Atlanta. But like any big city, you adapt and enjoy what the city can give you, because 99.5% of the time, you have nothing to worry about. Or you stay home scared of what might be outside.
177 versus thousands in the same size area.....ok. See if you zoom out it gets worse for your area by thousands of crimes. Not even comparable at all. I was talking about a few block radius and you bring up several mile area... Glad you adapted bro. If I want to enjoy what ATL provides its an easy under thirty minute drive then I can return to an area I don't have to "adapt" to or worry about locking my doors. Guess the Braves were tired of adapting
Sorry sir. I did the same map area. In the same size area, I counted 60 or so around Turner.
Braves were tired of getting the shaft. 50 years, and you can't figure out how to run a mile of MARTA line to connect the area. Every year, the Braves shuttle gets threatened to get cut. The original plan comes out for the streetcar, and Turner is no where on it. The only thing south of I-20 the city cares about is the airport, and it has been that way for a half a century. The landlord didn't want to commit to leasehold improvements over the term of the lease. Our company doesn't sign 5 year leases without that clause. And since you are in residential real estate, I don't have to tell you the hottest areas in town are in close proximity to a MARTA rail line. One by one, slowly but surely, the areas around MARTA stations are gentrifying.

High hopes. I know. I am a sucker for lost causes and longshots.
We gathered that from the fact that you're a GaSt fan.
What kind of idiot spends $500m to run 1/2 a mile of heavy track to a half empty stadium used 22% of the days of the year? That would go over real well.

Remove the jumbotron and seats and build the stadium back out into the courtyard that was part of COS.

Note: The Distance from Hanner Field House to Paulson Stadium is 1.5 miles.
Now I have no idea about how friendly the walking path is at gast - sure not to be a pleasant as the walk at Southern - but it appears to be a perfect location for them. Especially since many students surely live somewhere in between (like at Southern) and if they would plan to build more housing out that direction.
I wish you well GAST - looks like it would be a good move if you can afford the property.
According to Google Maps, the walk from the heart of campus is 1 mile. http://goo.gl/Yw2f9R You walk past the sports arena, make a right at the University Waffle House, under the MARTA Station, past the capital, and you are there.
University Commons, which I believe is the furthest dorm from the Ted, is a 1.8 mile walk.
You can't be a true SBC member unless directions to your campus involve passing a Waffle House.
Usually two Waffle Houses or One Waffle House and a Huddle House)

Still a slight negative if the majority of students cant reasonably walk to the game. I would hope GSU would have shuttles from the dorms or typical tailgate areas and not depend on MARTA only as well. The city of ATL really messed things up in that area. It could have been a anchor for the whole area getting better. It did improve slightly over the years but nothing significant. Hopefully they can keep the corruption and under the table payments to a minimum and get it right this time since it will be for a university and there will likely be state and possible federal oversight. 50/50 at best.
UL has for decades provided the main campus with student transportation for basketball, and football. This will work.

Would be way too wide - remember, that stadium had an Olympic track. Plus, there is a building that houses the Braves offices built into the left field stands - that could be used for Athletics.
Also, the sideline should run down the first base line, not the third. Right Field is where the upper deck wraps around into the outfield, so you would want that closer to the action, not further away.

All easy to figure out once you have it. Atlanta majors in bulldozing and our city bird is the crane.

Come to find out, these were not students from GSU. These are the locals who came over for Homecoming.
I received my Masters from Ga ST.(1992-94) and my car was broken into two times by the same Homeless Guy. The last time I caught him, and.....he wont be do that again.

Your GSU experience is based on 20 years ago?
As for the other two bolded statements taken together...smh

So our locals break into your car and your locals start brawls. What's the difference?
