New Dome and Congress Center?
(WSB Radio) The current economic crisis hasn't stopped plans to remake the Georgia World Congress Center and the Georgia Dome.
The home of the Falcons is 16 years old, older than 20 NFL stadiums. It cost $214 million to build, but replacing it would run much higher. By comparison, the new stadium being built for the New York Giants and Jets could run close to $1.5 billion.
The proposed new master plan for the Congress Center needs approval from the governing board.
Falcons owner Arthur Blank wants a new place for his team to play when the dome bonds are paid off in the next 6 to 12 years.
What others are saying
- what!!man, who tears down a 215 million dollar structure after only 15-20 years. it still looks new. the field can be redone anytime, and a new stadium wont draw more fans. i just cant see it. and definitely not if it involves one dime of taxpayer funds.
- domehere goes some more money !!! Since Blanks has all this money maybe he needs to let go of some for this project.
- New Stadium?!?"Falcons owner Arthur Blank wants a new place for his team to play when the dome bonds are paid off in the next 6 to 12 years."
That's great! And as soon as Arthur Blank wants to pay for a new dome (all of it), then we should let him have it! Until then, tough. - "Falcons owner Arthur Blank wants a new place for his team to play when the dome bonds are paid off in the next 6 to 12 years."
