[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 880964, member: 282"] A couple of items to think about [LIST] [*]Regarding atmosphere and making Bobby Dodd more inviting, Atlanta United showed that Bobby Dodd can be a vibrant venue. On the other hand, the Atlanta Hawks seem to do as much as you possibly can for a game that has TV timeouts to make the venue interesting, including halftime concerts, having a star player or two, and still aren't getting a full arena. Some of having a full arena is the sport, and some is the environment you make. [*]Why can't we be like Truist? Truist Park is a great spot. It has a ton of surrounding parking, and surrounding amenities--stores, restaurants, etc. If you want the Truist feel, I think you'd have to knock down all the East Campus dorms and some of the other buildings, too. [*]How about concerts and other things for the 300-349 days we don't have a Football game? It's something to pursue, but what I said about Truist Park comes back--surrounding amenities and parking would help a ton. Also, a Rammstein concert every night is going to make studying on East Campus kinda tough. [*]How about more skyboxes? Our first real attempt at that was the club seats (which used to have the flip cards/flip boards way back in the day--yes, students could sit right in the middle). We could probably sell more skyboxes, and nicer skyboxes, but we'd have to figure out where to put them. Club seats aren't premium skyboxes. [/LIST] There are a lot of things that the AA could do if it had money and time, but even those things aren't a silver bullet. Mercedes-Benz is probably a smart choice for big games--and if it had the surroundings that Truist does, it would be a no-brainer. Otherwise, having a beefier Marta rail system with a train every 3 minutes so that people don't have to fight for parking might help. (This is stuff that Aladdin would think is fantasy, of course) I think we should work on a lot of these things--funding and time permitting--but there aren't easy fixes. [/QUOTE]
