Enough to keep me in front of the big screen.

I get that but when the new location was picked it was so the majority of the fan base didnt have to spend an extra hour in traffic going 30 miles to a crappy area of ATL.

And those suffering the additional drive now have a reason to come early (if they can get off work early), avoid rush hour and hang out until game time with all the stores, restaurants, etc. surrounding the stadium.

Early = the day before...

Hyperbole. It is going to be 100X better game day experience. The best Turner Field has to offer is setting up a fold out chair and bringing a cooler. 85/75 connector is one of the worst traffic areas in the country. 75/285 I don't even think made the list. It will be bad the first year for sure but they will figure it out. Also you don't have to worry about people breaking into your car as much or worry about making a wrong turn down the wrong street just a block south of the stadium.
