There is no point in lamenting over that boondoggle. One can quibble over the stadium authority doing for the school what they would for the baseball team but that really doesn't matter. But considering that the Olympic Tennis facility is being torn down this month, I think someone using the former Olympic Stadium is better than it sitting empty.

GA State went out and bought an unused facility and converted it to immediate use as opposed to other vacated stadiums that have languished over time. The school didn't complain about the location being off campus and instead decided to expand the campus south of I-20. Is the stadium designed correctly yet, obviously not but the conversion will obviously be a long, incremental process.

GTS, were talked about Tech's stadium issue before. At the end of the day Tech could have brought Turner Field as well but of course it was 'too far away.' Thus, the Trade school needs to suck it up, knock down some buildings and rebuild Grant Field's grandstands. Or you could share with Arthur Blank or the Panthers if that isn't an option.

Oooo-K? Agreed, we know that. Me and the other posters know that and agree with that. Our point is that GSU shouldn't have a stadium too large and have one suitable for the size of its fanbase. One poster mentioned Charlotte (I think he meant the model, not the size) and I said 30k. Turner is way too large but on the other hand they'd be stupid to turn down a free stadium they didn't have to build from the ground up.

All in all, it's a moot point.
