New Stadium Could Bring Traffic Nightmare To Cobb County

The Atlanta Braves are currently in the basement of MLB standings with only 15 wins this season. The team is banking on their move to SunTrust Park in Cobb County next year to galvanize the fan base. But rising costs to the construction project, along with several money saving cuts to traffic-reducing infrastructure, may only increase the congestion that Cobb County is already notorious for.

We talk with Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Dan Klepal and blogger Angie Scmitt of Streetsblog USA about the mounting problems surrounding the controversial stadium project.

@OSTtalk @Braves Live=Grant Park. Work=Chamblee ITP. Commute home bad for 12 mile trip- 1hr+. Place I'm never going? SunTrust Park #Traitors— Baker Owens (@tjpman) June 2, 2016

@OSTtalk This Braves area will have tons of brewpubs and bars. Alcohol and cars do not mix. Keep a watch out for a massive spike in DUIs.— Ned Morgan (@nmorganexplores) June 2, 2016
