The Best-Laid Plans....
November 25, 2017
It happened on November 20, 2017. After 25 years, it was time to say goodbye to the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
It cost Georgia taxpayers $214 million to build, 1989-1992. In today’s dollars, that is $385 million.
The new Mercedes-Benz Stadium is going to replace it, right next door. Total public funding: $600 million.
Here today. Gone tomorrow.
The first hour of the “Today Show” in Atlanta was pre-empted by the fireworks. There was a long delay. Advertisers were no doubt unhappy.
