    There is "bad news for Cobb County taxpayers, who are still on the hook for $16 million a year in debt service and capital maintenance for the [Barves' monument to white flight turncoat-ism]. Architects of the deal that brought the team to Cobb predicted an immediate financial windfall that has yet to materialize, although the county’s general fund subsidy has shrunk since the ballpark opened in 2017."

    In other words, the would-be public financial benefits have failed to materialize, just as they have with every other publicly-funded stadium ever, and those shortfalls are being exacerbated and magnified by the pandemic.

    Put me down for "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA."

    It's almost as if every relevant economic study ever conducted was onto something.

    Extending MARTA to Cobb would have been a nice idea...
