Joey Freshwater posted:Expand on this? Only thing I've heard that's an issue for parking is it's not right next to the stadium like it was at Turner, but they did the best with the space they had. It's a pretty dense area where the new stadium is so worst case you might have to walk a little to get to the stadium. Basically, no private parking lots near the stadium except those owned by the team: http://deadspin.com/the-atlanta-braves-borrowed-their-parking-scam-from-dan-1783149400 cis autodrag posted:I mean, they built that idiotic "the corners" mall+apartments just fine.

ThePeavstenator posted:If the Brewers attempted to build a treehouse in Brookfield it would get voted down because then someone might see a piece of construction equipment. Or one of the construction workers may not be white and the concerned citizenry won't be able to immediately harass them by calling 3 squad cars from the speed traps they're sitting at. How do you know a black person got pulled over on I-94? There's ten cop cars there.

ThePeavstenator posted:It's by the highway so they were able to get away with it. The literal plot to Parks and Rec took place when they tried to fill a giant abandoned quarry with some of the I-94 construction material and build a park there. It was defeated because some rear end in a top hat land developer wanted it for himself (and still has not bought it) and claimed that "there would be a dump truck every 30 seconds for weeks". I went to said abandoned quarry a lot in HS (to secretly drink  ). It's a beautiful place and I was loving pissed this didn't happen. Brookfield is definitely a NIMBY neighborhood. Well at least it'll remain the secret drinking spot of high school students until something legit happens to it.quote:I think The Corners was literally planned out as taking a chunk of the 3rd Ward, putting an underground parking lot underneath it because lol @ suburbanites walking anywhere, and then putting it in Brookfield so no one has to travel to a "dangerous" area for good restaurants. I went to the Cafe Hollander there and the front of the menu had a big notice on it (which is not present on the menus of the one downtown) that basically said "If you order a craft beer, you're getting it in a craft beer glass, it's going to have some head in the glass because that's how it's loving supposed to be poured and served, no we're not going to top it off so your cheap rear end feels like you got your full money's worth". Lol people do this? Holy poo poo. My family was just as new to craft beer when that place opened as the next family and our reaction was the most  thing ever. Cafe Hollander is responsible for me understanding that there are actual good beers out there. Well, that and Spotted Cow until Spotted Cow got totally usurped by the craft beer revolution. cis autodrag posted:I mean, they built that idiotic "the corners" mall+apartments just fine.

This was coming from a high-level braves employee not in corporate so it could have been BS but he's a good friend of the family so I hope it's not.

In conclusion the Braves are racist and exploitative but only slightly and not vastly more so than the rest of American sports or culture as a whole. And that's the peg I hang my cognitive dissonance on.

Joey Freshwater posted:Not from what I've been told. The way I heard it was that Fulton County owned the lots and made the money off of them but they were supposed to funnel that money back into developing the area around the stadium and never did. The Braves leased the lots from the recreation authority but they collected the parking money directly and were supposed to pay back some of the profits to local non-profits when Braves games were going on. There's a little bit about it in this article: http://www.atlantamagazine.com/great-reads/turner-field-development/ quote:The team gives 8.25 percent of its parking revenue—an average of $446,000 annually—which to date has added up to at least $7 million, according to the recreation authority The team was also supposed to give 50% back to the authority when special events, or non-games, were held at the stadium but the authority is saying that the team paid less and it sounds like the sides are working on a settlement. It's possible that the parking revenue was directed into a holding outside of "the team" by Liberty Media. Your source might not be wrong if he says that the "team" didn't make money off the parking but Braves Holdings, LLC, did collect money from parking because the deal with the recreation authority was that some of the profit would be redirected back to non-profits in People's Town and Summerhill.

When you install the app on a tablet or phone, set the video quality to only do HD over wifi. Once a feed has started, you can bookmark that page to return to that team/feed everytime. It's nice to skip past mlb.tv's okay interface if you're just going to watch the same team and feed everytime. You can share the login with a bunch of people or devices. I've had 3 devices playing simultaneously before. I'm sure they publish the login limit somewhere. ThePeavstenator posted:The great feature of no ads, just a screen that says "COMMERCIAL BREAK IN PROGRESS". You can get ads for sure. They're selected by mlb and tend to be pushed at you during popular games like big matchups or weekend games. You can block them by turning on your ad-blocker after the video feed has begun.

It comes with radio feeds through the At Bat app which are awesome when you can't really watch but can listen (which for me is basically "at work" which I know turns into "lol you're not getting any work done" but you might use them when you're driving since you're going to be out of market)

My favourite part of atbat is how it makes sure everything you're doing is lined up together. Despite any realtime delays because of broadcast, network congestion, hitches, etc, atbat will make sure the radio feed lines up perfectly with the video feed and with gameday. Just note that it only does this on a per-device basis. Sometimes plays are spoiled and the tension is zapped when my phone sends me a scoring update a few minutes before my computer feed gets to it

Yeah, what's cool about MLB.tv is you can pick either video feed, and use the TV audio, the associated radio feed, or you can just do "park audio", which has no announcers/only ambient sound. Lately when they come back from commercial it goes back to having announcers again. They need to fix that. You will definitely get commercials, and often you will get the same 3-4 commercials over and over for the entire game. Lately it's been a lot of Gillette on-demand and this horrible Budweiser ad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Y_m6VXMrCg

My LG Blu Ray app used to suck so I'd use my computer browser or phone. Starting last year, on Comcast, I couldn't get games to play on my browser without serious rubberbanding issues on the stream but the XBone app worked great so I tried the PC app and it was better. My friend uses the PS4 app and it works better than Safari/Chrome on his Mac.
