88 was left/center field!!! We had our bright tie-dye on and of coarse we were cheering and having fun!!! You guys should have come by to say hi... We had a blast!!!

Atlanta is a terrible sports town. Nothing like the passion that's found in the Northeast. I wonder how long the Thrashers and Hawks will last with the minimal support they get?

I don't know Ed... I loved Turner Field... It was such a great time there... I do agree though... My favorite sports are found in the Northeast...

Turner Feild is great but the Atllanta fans are apathetic. I went to a big Diamondbacks/ Braves games a couple of years ago ( I think Johnson was pitching) and there were plenty of seats. You certainly can't do that in Boston.

Perhaps that is because Boston is 40% bigger then Atlanta, and yet Fenway Park is 33% smaller then Turner field. Over the past 10 years or so, Atlanta has averaged higher attendence then Boston, only dipping below them recently.

I also wouldn't call the Braves fans apathetic, at least compared to every other game I've been to. They were certainly more alive then the Baltimore game I went to and every Dodgers game. The only game I've been to where the fans were more alive was when the Angels were in the pennant race 2 years ago.

Certainly, I've never been to a Red Sox or Yankees game, but I wouldn't really call the Braves fans apathetic. Probably in the grand scheme of things, they are somewhere in the middle.
