  - Yes, Mercedes-Benz was built right next door to the GA Dome. You're think of the Braves stadium which is 10 miles North. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 20, 06:46

    - Blank wasn't owner in 1992. For the new stadium? - Strongbad Nov 20, 05:50 2
      - The change in stadiums really. I'm sure the value of the team skyrocketed. -- nm - spamlet Nov 20, 06:02 1
