[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 667335, member: 4572"] Most baseball and soccer fans in Atlanta already root for a college football team in the Atlanta media market, it’s located about 70 miles east of Atlanta. Atlanta United succeeding in building an incredibly strong fan base quickly because there was no existing market for soccer in the area. There wasn’t anybody to compete with, and because the metro-Atlanta area is incredibly diverse it was able to attract existing soccer fans and new ones. The Braves were one of the first baseball teams to move south, and provided a massive TV market nationally with TBS. Tech is in a second tier football conference, as a speciality institution, and is dominated by grads of other nearby schools by population in its own city. College football in the south, especially Atlanta, is a completely saturated market. Very few people who consider themselves sports fans living near the city don’t actively root for one team or another. [/QUOTE]
