Atlanta Braves and Cobb County: "Let’s be honest here. Sports owners don’t lose money."

Braves’ Move To Cobb County Raises Suspicions (Only A Game)

On Tuesday night, near Atlanta, Georgia, commissioners in Cobb County voted unanimously to approve $392 million in public funds to construct a new stadium for the Atlanta Braves. But many believe the team’s current stadium, which opened in 1997 and is in the middle of the city, is still a perfectly good ballpark.
