The final piece in all probability, it’s at all times been cool to go to a brand new stadium simply to see what it’s like. So, we’re headed out west to Los Angeles. Identical folks at all times have the identical feeling like after they get to Atlanta and see our stadium, they’re like “man that is somethin’.””
