Talk:Centennial Olympic Stadium

Untitled
Centennial Olympic Stadium and Turner Field are the same stadium--not sure why there are separate articles for both. I think they should be merged. Blueboy96
 * It was altered. I think it's better this way. Golfcam 15:46, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Do not merge, they share very little beyond part of the Centennial Stadium superstructure. Half of Turner Field is completely new and the capacity has been reduced by half. They are not the same park.Gateman1997 00:33, 14 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Do not merge I agree, the stadiums are have very little in common with each other. Geam9111

Funded by Ted Turner?
I seriously doubt the claim that it was funded by Ted Turner. The references say nothing about this, and I've never heard anything of it either. Everything I have ever heard, and the referenced NYT article, indicate that it was entirely paid-for by ACOG. As far as I know, it was given outright to the Braves and nothing was given in return. –radiojon (talk) 06:32, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Ownership/Payment for Conversion
The stadium was payed for by a variety of sponsers, including NBC, but not exclusively Ted Turner. It is currently owned by the Atlanta Fulton County Recreation Authority. The Braves, like many sports teams, lease the stadium. I have updated the article to reflect this, primarily using the text from the Turner Field article. Talcon512 (talk) 22:22, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
