Atlanta mayor and other city officials should have stayed out of it. Made it a bigger thing then it actually was.

Trust me, if the Saints would have made it to the SB in Atlanta, the hotels would be jammed packed. It would have been a cash cow for the city.

Atlanta will make money with the Pats and Rams, but due to distance, you're not going to get the people filling bars just to watch in the city.

Great points. But that first one, nothing annoys me more than politicians jumping on this for style points to divert attention away from their grosse incompetence and theft...
