And the hits just keep on coming for Atlanta

The stadium has plenty of other events to keep that franchise in the black.

Sometimes bible thumpers are moronic

I have no idea why, from any business perspective, you would put any kind of restaurant in a football stadium, and close it on the day they play. It makes no sense.

But what on earth does "bible thumping" have to do with anything? While we're at it, why don't you define what that even is? I suppose your opinions and beliefs are of the non "thumping" variety, right?

I think bible thumping is like listening to religious music, hard core

What is stupid is to think that a $1.2B stadium is going to function only on Sundays, 30 hours a year. It'll be used for conventions, concerts, sporting events ( it'd also be the home of the Atlanta FC), private events, there are guided tours... the bars, restaurants, shops, etc in there are not going to be closed 6 days out of the week either... that would be stupid

As for Chick-Fil-A being "Bible thumpers", they are not. My younger son loves Chick-Fil-A. We have been getting chicken sandwiches just about twice a week for years now, and no one has ever asked me to talk about Jesus.

I actually appreciate what they do, closing on Sundays. Mr. Cathy, by all accounts, was a good man, who cared about people and his employees, so much that he decided to close his restaurants on Sunday to allow his employees to attend church and be with their families. I may be an atheist heathen, but I admire that.

Doesn't really matter to me but opening a restaurant in a stadium and closing the one day that you would make 80-90% of your sales for the year just isn't bright.
Not like chick fil a is gonna go broke or anything but I just don't see the point of the contract.

Sure they will open for other things but a VAST majority of their sales potential is going down the drain. Sundays bring a packed house guaranteed 8 times a year or more (hopefully only eight).
They close on Sundays for religious reasons as much as family values. They have also openly criticized people whose "values" don't meet their political, social, and religious ideals.
If they want to make a statement about their values and sacrifice that much capitol I do however respect that. I just think it's dumb.
If they care so much give the extra hours to the single moms and dads who don't suck up welfare and can really use the money. Or donate it.
These social, religious, and family value thing is all part of their marketing strategy. Nothing more

Oh I've thumped a few things in my day but thumping a bible is just down right sacraligous
