Falcons: Falcons vow to be in new stadium by 2017

[babuka]

I don't think most fans on the message boards want it downtown anyways. I was really hoping for the Doraville site, but that didn't work out. The current location is far from family friendly. Tailgating sucks. The dome isn't full on kickoff because you have to leave the tailgate 45 minutes before kickoff to walk forever. And you leave your car in some busted up, half gravel, half fenced in parking lot. Not shady at all. Can't even see the Dome from a lot of tailgating spots. It is not like the access is great now. Getting to some of the really close parking lots for people who don't go to the game much requires a secret decoder ring. You think the road takes you to the parking lot until you realize you are driving "over" the parking lot and in reality you have to make like 6 turns down one way streets to get where you want to be.
