Braves planning new suburban stadium in 2017 | News OK

Am I the only one that finds this ridiculous? In this age of growing downtowns and transit options the Braves go and leave the city (moving 10 miles away) and its transit options ("despite the lack of any rapid-transit in Cobb County and the stadium site being located next to one of the city's most congested interchanges"), requiring fans to be car dependent to enjoy games (even though the MARTA stop is a mile away from the Ted, I know a lot of people would ride it to games). Don't get me wrong, I do think the city is a good degree at fault for not using the last 17 years to develop the surrounding area, but this just seems like the wrong way to go by the team. In 20-30 years will they be looking for a new site back downtown?
