This statement is correct if you're counting only the baseball and NFL football games at each staduim. Turner Field has basically one purpose, baseball. The new Falcons stadium will be used for football (NFL and high school championship/college/bowl games), concerts, trade shows and conventions, graduations, motorcross/tractor pull/monster truck, a proposed MLS team, Final Four and countless other events needing a large open space. It is expected to be used 200+ days per year as opposed to baseball's 81.
