I don't really give a crap about this. Yes, it's annoying and when they instituted it, I bitched about it. But the reality is that it's <i>damn</i> hard to get from Marta to Turner Field anyway, and that's a problem. How many metro cities have public transportation and <b>don't</b> have a train that goes directly to their largest sports arena? I know Atlanta would take decades to stack up to any of these cities, transport-wise, and probably never will, but I've seen baseball games in Chicago, New York, and San Francisco, and took public transportation to all of these. You get off the train; you're at the stadium. I'm not <b>scared</b> of Underground Atlanta, even if I am approximately 0.43 mindsets away from downtown Atlanta. I just don't take public transportation to games anymore. You know what? I don’t really give a crap about this. Yes, it’s annoying and when they instituted it, I bitched about it.

Hmmm. Was that something else? I heard that this had something to do with Ted Turner striking a deal with the Underground and Marta. Hmmm. Was that something else?
