Quote:Nearly 1 million cars pass historic Turner Field on a business day in Atlanta. Pretty soon, all of that traffic will go right by Georgia State University’s new football stadium, providing the school with unprecedented exposure and branding as it looks to boost its athletic programs.

Those costs reach $80 million and the purchase price of the stadium runs the total bill close to $100 million. The school does not plan to use state funds or tuition dollars to pay for it. Fundraising and revenue from premium spaces are expected to cover the costs.

On a side note, doing the math, I'd say that's impossible, even if it's surrounded by freeways. It would equate to roughly 700 cars passing per minute, which is ridiculous. Even if that's the rush hour rate, that's not the pace all day.

It does sound ridiculous to comprehend, but that 695 cars split between 14 or so lanes is only roughly 50 cars per lane per minute. During peak hours I'd wager it can be far higher than that (minus wrecks and other traffic impairments).

Yeah. That's the connector of I-75/I-85 that runs thru downtown Atlanta right outside our gates. The nation's busiest airport lies just south of where these two merge. It's the very definition of a bottleneck and traffic flow is enormous. Just remember that traffic consists of not only local residents but folks traveling south to central Florida or the Gulf side or into the Carolinas or all points in and above TN. That volume is real.

Yep...was driving from Kennesaw to Griffin over the weekend to help my sister move into UGA-Griffin campus and I immediately regret not taking 285 when I got to the connector.
