ended up with Braves field? What I'm really asking is the finances, did they out and out purchase, was it a gift and if so who made the gift etc.?
Pretty sure Atlanta Fulton County Recreation Authority owned Turner Field. GaSt. bought the land from the city of atlanta.Someone told me they thought they swapped some property or assets for it, don't know that this is right or not. Did any governments city, state county contribute in any way?
Atlanta Fulton County Recreation Authority owned turner field before sellng to Ga StHas the city, state, or county financed any of their facilities? Who originally owned Braves stadium? Was it given to GA State? Or is owned by something other than GA State and GA State just uses it? There were changes made to the stadium for FB, who paid for all that? Lots of questions, just never understood the whole deal. Where did GA State get the money for it all if they in fact ended up paying for it all?
I don't have any questions as to whether it was put to good use, think it was a natural good use, I'm just trying to understand the whole financial affair side of it.
I can't understand how they financed a new basketball arena. Do they have that kind of donors?
