Atlanta is a City in Decline

[tsywake]

Particularly the Georgia Dome

The only building in the world to host the Olympics, a Super Bowl, and Final Four.

[BarcaDeac]

the only good collapse in Atlanta this year

 

[Biff Tannen]

Wake Forest Basketball was 0-2 at the Georgia Dome: 2001 ACC Tournament, lost 71-53 to Maryland. Game was over at halftime. Our next game was in the NCAA tournament against Butler.

2009 ACC Tournament, Wake was the #2 seed with a bye, ranked #8. Lost to Maryland 75-64. Our next game was in the NCAA tournament against Cleveland State.

Couldn't even get it to implode right. Isn't that one section in the 2nd video supposed to be flat also?

Ugh. That was my senior year, and I was in attendance for both shitshows.

I believe the same evening of the UMCP loss, we got this treat, though.

 

[Biff Tannen]

I attended one Super Bowl, one Final Four, one ACC tournament, three Peach Bowls, two SEC Championship Games, and several Falcons games there.

Curse that building. Saw Julio drop 300 on the Panthers, 14-0 perfect season die, and watched Jamaica knock US out of the Gold Cup in my 3 visits to the dome. Also the most in danger I've ever felt at a sporting event during the Mexico vs. Panama match, which says a lot after attending matches on 4 different continents.

Kenny Chesney/ZBB there was a top 3 concert though

only 25 years old- kinda amazing how disposable arenas are nowadays

 

[DeacLaw05]

Only time I was ever there was for the Auburn-U*NC Peach Bowl in 2001.

 

[PhDeac]

Yep. Couldn't have been that great.

Meanwhile Raymond James is slated to host the Super Bowl at age 22.

Taxpayer-funded welfare for billionaires. But the guy that owns MY TEAM is different.

Atlanta is in such a decline they are projecting to add the population equivalent of Charlotte in years to come.

Cool. It should be a Mumbai-style cesspool by then.

good thing they have the infrastructure -- particularly public transit -- to support that !

I was also in attendance for that disaster. Watching basketball games in a dome is weird.

Hoping Atlanta does not get the new Amazon HQ. That would only add to the traffic problems.

Nah, that was the night before. I remember driving down to ATL bleery-eyed after staying up to watch that
