To be fair, while it isn't a bad walk, walking that distance in 95 degree heat through the sea of concrete and asphalt on a Sunday afternoon is a less than enjoyable experience.

It is ****ing ridiculous. How would these people live in other cities where walking is a way of life. Are they aware in some cities you don't need a car to live/work/play? Yes its possible!

Capital Ave is well lit so there should be no problem of walking to the station. I think MARTA chose to bus fans to 5 Points Station so they can have accessibility to all lines.

Thank you.

Do you want air conditioned sidewalks? You do realize baseball season its just in the summer right. People walk in 100 degree heat all the time. The walk isn't that bad b/c you are not surrounded by buildings increasing the city heat.

But sitting in the 95 degree sun for three hours on hot plastic seats isn't?

There is a bus route up Capital Ave from Turner Field to Georgia State.

Don't be r.idiculous.

Sitting in the shade sipping a cold beer watching baseball /= walking across hot asphalt.

Comparing the two to try to emphasize whatever point you ware trying to make only weakens your argument and illustrates a lack of sound logic.

So you're saying that the seats at Turner Field are shaded?

Are you saying that all aren't shaded?

Many, if not most, are not shaded. Obviously.

You really should not call anyones argument lacking logic. You are scared to walk a mile downtown b/c its far and OMG ITS HOT.

Maybe walk and drink beer

Perhaps you are choosing the wrong seats to sit in because I am always able to find a shaded seat.
