Now the only time MARTA will get heavy traffic is for the Falcons games, and SEC Championship games which happen way less frequently than MLB season games. Even with the renovation of Underground, there will be absolutely no desire for suburbanites to come to Downtown outside of work.

on the contrary, there is a grassroots effort to bring
cobb (and
gwinnett) into the marta service area, which they were originally intended to be in. if the traffic induced by this stadium is bad enough it might help as a catalyst to further these efforts...
