"Cincinnati has been a great city and the fans have been great. However the leadership of the city has decided not to come up with a reasonable new stadium deal and when the Atlanta management group sent us a proposal it was hard to turn down."
And with that quote the owner of the Blowfish, in a move reminiscent of the NFL Baltimore Colts over night move to Indianapolis, surprised the city and the world when he ordered moving vans to roll out of Great America towards Atlanta late last week. The Atlanta Proposal consisted of a complete remodeling of Turner Field,additional luxury boxes and tax breaks. Also circulating in the rumour mill are additional Fringe benefits that have yet to be discovered. Time will only tell if this move will bring a very successful franchise to their knees or see their stock continue to soar.
