The Braves never needed a new stadium. Turner Field was a good enough replacement for Fulton County Stadium, but nooooo. Might as well change the name to The Smyrna Braves.

Of course, some vandals are so miserable unhappy that they would put graffiti on churches or synagogues just to show the world how miserable they are. They can't be stopped.
I read somewhere that the bulk of graffiti spoilers are daddy-less boys. All children have a "father," but not all have a "dad."
The vandal apologized for his actions so all is well.
Yeah, and he might have seen some reflection in the glass that offended him, so he felt that he had a right to break it.
I am extremely glad the Braves gave Kasim Reed the middle finger and moved.
How many sports franchises left Atlanta under his rule?
BTW, I live in Gwinnett county and got screwed with our stadium.

The Braves moved to escape Atlanta politics and to improve the fan drive/ experience/safety.
Please give me the source for unbreakable, non scratch plastic. I’ve never seen such a material but I could sure use some!
Or they can be called “the Fulton County tax and corruption free Braves”
The Braves should have paid for it themselves.
I’m so glad that I live in a state that doesn’t have any professional sports tems that we’d get stuck financing with taxpayer money!
This whole nonsense of government paying for private sports stadiums needs to be banned. It’s just a way for (mostly) Democrats to channel taxpayer funds to the pockets of their political cronies.
Unbreakable...but not non-scratch. It sure would be better than WALLS of broken glass from the stadium, wouldn't it?
Polycarbonate is damned near unbreakable but it’s softer than acrylic so it scratches more easily.
Probably Chinese glaziers. They did the windows for the 9/11 memorial in NY. Paying for these ugly and expensive monuments to banking and skulduggery is just another choice we’re not qualified to make about who gets to put their hands in the honey pot that is our lives.
I "googled" it--very interesting.
Thanks.
Let them pay for their own stadiums. If the team can’t generate enough wealth to pay for their own infrastructure, they certainly can’t generate enough wealth for anyone else to shoulder the expense.
My primary interest is for display cases and other exhibit related uses. Acrylic is a very good material but it attracts dust and lint like mad due to static electricity and it scratches easily.
