Also, when they gonna change the signs on the interstate from Turner Field to GaSt Stadium???
There are lots seen in the video to the south and southeast plus a parking deck.
Dunno on the highway signs, that's a state thing, not university.

Supposedly the highway signs are awaiting final naming of the stadium.

If you pause at the :05/:06 sec mark you can see what the future holds for the infamous right field seats and concourse behind the new east side stands. The word is the plan is to take out the seating and add an indoor practice area in that space, with additional seating added above the new east stands. You can also see it from (:17 til :41) and another perspective at 1:11/1:12.
Looks really cool.
What are the chances this actually happens?
Start time?
Cost?
RE: Turner Field to be sold to Georgia State University
100% it happens (referring to Athletics' piece). Timeline is the question as in what is the priority order now that the Convocation Center is in the mix along with baseball, soccer and track.
RE: Turner Field to be sold to Georgia State University
Watched the whole video, it's impressive, if it all comes to life. Does a university, especially this university, have top he pull to make it happen???

Hmmm, which parts are you talking about? The pure Carter parts are definitely happening, or are already starting to happen, now. If you are talking about the baseball stadium and IPF those could be more flexible in timeframe but again its a joint project so there's little chance we back out. It's not like we are fully driving the ship on this entire project.

More importantly for our piece is Becker is really pushing Athletics as a part of the University experience and we are in a particular point of time as far a s support from the Governor, Lt. Governor and USG Chancellor. Timetable is really protracted because we are not talking renovation in the case of the non football facilities. Convocation Center from BOR approved through deaign to built could take 3 or 3.5 years for example.
As far as the Carter piece you will see something start next year after they break ground on the private down and start leasing restaurant space down Georgia Ave.
The term especially this University is funny. People confuse football for the rest of the University. We own $7B of Downtown. We are pretty adept at building and real estate. Just suck at football.

My term "especially this university" was meaning, not the "flagship" university. None of us are UGA, UA, AU, LSU, T&M, Michigan, OSU. Any of those schools announce a community build around campus and in the athletic center, stores and residences would sell out before the announcement ended. None of us SBC schools have that type of support.

We have been doing similar stuff downtown for a couple of decades (Fairlie-Poplar, Auburn Avenue). It's the reason that people in city and state government called Mark Becker within minutes of the Braves announcement.

One thing I'll say for the USG is that they tend to keep away from favoritism for the most part. They've treated Tech, UGA, State, and Augusta University with about the same level of appreciation, without holding anyone back for stupid reasons. I don't know of any childishness similar to LSU's protection from anyone being called Louisiana outright or the things Alabama has done to UAB. It probably helps that the former USG chancellor was a State student and that two of the lieutenant governors kids have been athletes at State too. Not that that has given us any special favours, I think it's just allowed us relative autonomy to where, so long as we are accountable for what we're doing, we can do it.

It's all good. Shaen Elliott was not hored because we have a great team. And we are playing the long game here. Both the GSU and Carter stuff in that video will take well into the 2020's to complete.
Thanks Braves! (Hopefully everyone here is smart enough to figure that out... I'm trying to include you too WolfBird)
Also, there was/is already a safety plan in place and the issues are already being addressed. Not really a huge deal, very sensational news station though. Moving along.
