If a downtown stadium is going to be built, it needs to be done with ownership's money and not with taxpayer money. Why should the fans (taxpayers) have to subsidize a billionaire's efforts to make more money? Fans already pay enough to attend a game through parking fees, concessions and ticket prices. If Sherman wants a new stadium, let him pay for it.

I visited the new Atlanta ballpark this summer and had 3 take away points. #1 parking was expensive and difficult. I paid $50 to park off site and $40 parking Wasson for away there is a booming peddle cab business going from the parking lots to the stadium. #2 No tailgating allowed. They built these nice restaurants and bars right next to the stadium and the last thing they want is you drinking for free in the parking lot. #3 the concourses were nice and wide but the food was even more over priced than normal. I think my brother spent $23 for a Philly cheese steak sandwich.

Just my opinion and what I took away from my experience at that particular stadium.
