The good news is that if they're opening a new ballpark in 2017, presumably they're going to want to do so with Jason Heyward and Freddie Freeman in the lineup, who are free agents in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Maybe this leads to a payroll increase? Certainly if attendance rises or is expected to rise, you would expect to see that. Given the crappy TV deal, the Braves need good attendance.
Doesn't seem to be any info so far about public financing of the stadium...
I see your logic, but then again, Marlins.
