“I think we probably will. We do worry about the traffic, but the thought of [a game], followed by a 15-minute ride home rather than the MARTA ride to the car and drive home we take now… We go two to three times a year and this would probably double that. Now, it’s just an ordeal to get down there. It’s appealing to me, but I certainly have my concerns.” Scott Ramshur
“Once they move closer, yes, because there will be less trouble getting there. But once you’re on the Perimeter, you’re going to be stuck in traffic because there’s no MARTA going there. Now, it’s traffic both ways. I’ll see how traffic is and then decide. We go four or five times or year when they’re in season, so we’ll give it a shot.” Ayesha Nesbeth-Aguila
“Sure. It’s closer. Last year, we only went to one game, but we used to go more. We’ll definitely go more often.” Sandia Chen
“It’s immaterial. No, I don’t care where I have to go. I just go to see the Braves.” Hope Follmer
“We go on weekends, so it won’t really affect the number of games we go to. I was surprised about the decision, like everyone else was. I was disappointed. I think it caught everyone off guard. But we won’t boycott them, that’s for sure.” Kathy Parker
“If it was football or basketball, then maybe, but I don’t go to games now. I don’t even have a team I favor in baseball. It’s too much traffic in a little area.” Robin Berger
“No. Since the strike, I haven’t gone to a game hardly since. That completely turned me off of baseball. When they’re making all that money and then going on strike. I’d rather watch Georgia Tech.” Brent Rowlett
“I don’t like at all that it’s moving out of the old stadium after less than 20 years. But we’ll also be able to basically walk to the games now.” Hunter Hartley
“No. I’ll go to the same number. We go a couple of times a year. I’ve got a 13-year-old, so I see lots and lots of ball games each year, just not Braves games. I have mixed emotions about the moving. I understand, but I hate to see [the stadium] out of downtown.” J.P. Matzigkeit
“Probably more. It’ll be just down the street from me. I’m a Braves fan. We’ll probably go more, but I’m not looking forward to the traffic.” Jackie Dennis
“Absolutely. We love the Braves, but now because it’s so convenient. It’s what? Ten minutes from our house? Now that my kids are getting older, my 5-year-old son loves going.” Jaime Foster
“Oh, yeah. I think there’s a good chance of that. It’ll be so much easier to get there. People seem concerned about additional traffic, but we’d go on the weekends. I’m excited about it.” Mary Millar
“No. Probably not. I love the [present] location – that’s what makes [Atlanta] a city. Most every other city has a ballpark in the city.” Michael Stover
“Sure. If there was [a stadium] right in my backyard, why not?” Ralitza Spassova
