What about not riding MARTA and not going to a Falcons game makes your colleagues opinion about city affairs invalid?

Why not let the falcons pay for a new stadium that replaces a completely public funded stadium?

"The decision, by a vote of 116-16, came after about 90 minutes of discussion among church members."

It seems it was an easy decision for the congregation. I suppose we can assume Friendship will vote similarly and get to celebrating a win for the south site.

Dang Downtown Atlanta about to get another huge project. The city is on fire! The Superbowl and College playoffs games is going to look great in that new stadium.

The pressure seems to be on Friendship now, but I think the deal is attractive to them and they'll go for it.

Look like a new stadium is coming on the Southside site. The last church approved the sale of the Church today.
