The problem is weather, the lack of things to do really close to the venue, and food close to the venue. Having Olympic park, the CNN center, world of coke, and Georgia aquarium all within a 5 min walk of the Georgia dome was awesome. not to mention the awesome weather, the better pit set up and a more respectable HOF set up as well. Yes the pits were a really long walk from the stands for spectators but that is the only bad thing I ever had to say about Atlanta.
