Owned and operated

[edit]

"The team is owned and operated by the Atlanta Braves."

State of the stadium

[edit]

the "state of the stadium" in greenville was not the issue. The braves wanted to move and this was merely an excuse, i had attended games at the stadium since my childhood and it was in fine condition. they wanted a new fancy stadium paid for by the taxpayers. -Mad_Gouki

All the news reports say it was because of the state of the stadium and Greenville, SC not wanting to fund a new one. The Greenville stadium is old. I'm sure 20 years from now the Braves will be gone from Mississippi, citing the same reasons. -- ALLSTAR ECHO 19:41, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
