The authority's board members unanimously approved general terms of the proposed stadium rental car in a special meeting Monday. rental car A 24-page document outlines terms negotiated between Falcons representatives and the Georgia World Congress rental car Center Authority, including who would own the stadium and how it would be financed.
Officials Monday said they'll search for an architect while city and county officials discuss the deal. Frank Poe, executive rental car director of the Georgia World Congress Center Authority, said land costs, potential traffic congestion issues and the projected impacts on nearby neighborhoods will likely rental car factor into the decision on where the new stadium would be built.
rental car "It just seems like there needs to be more dialogue about what the public wants in this whole deal," Perry said, "It just gives the appearance that this thing is sailing through like a rubber stamp." His organization has not taken a position on the proposal, which has already won support from Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed.
"Mayor Reed has supported the plans for a new stadium and continues to do so. The tourism and convention industry pumps billions of dollars into the city every year, and best-in-class facilities are a vital component of Atlanta's offerings," Reed's spokeswoman Sonji Jacobs Dade said in an email. "Mayor Reed believes the agreement reached today between the Falcons and the GWCC is an important first step."
Under the proposed deal, the Georgia World Congress Center Authority, which is a state agency, will own the stadium. The Falcons will run the facility, and must agree to not relocate. The franchise will keep revenue generated from parking and operations, but will pay rent to occupy the stadium -- which is expected to have a seating capacity of between rental car 66,000 and 72,000.
Upon completion of the new stadium in 2017, the proposal also calls for demolishing the Georgia Dome -- which hosted artistic gymnastics during the 1996 Olympic Games as well as NCAA basketball tournament games, soccer matches and rock concerts. The dome hosted the 1994 and 2000 Super Bowls and will host the NCAA Final Four next year.
Poe said the authority has no contingency plan if city and county officials assail the proposal. Rich McKay, president and CEO of the Atlanta Falcons, said the franchise would explore plans to relocate within Atlanta or the metro area if the deal is not approved.
"We would probably go back and look at a solution that involves an outdoor stadium somewhere else. That would not be our desire, and we don't anticipate that," McKay said, "We've really put our eggs in this basket."
According to NFL.com, the Georgia dome, built in 1992, is the tenth-oldest out of the league's 32 stadiums. Falcons officials, GWCCA board members and city officials said a new stadium with a retractable roof could raise the city's profile in terms of hosting large-scale events.
