Barry- During the late 1980's, the Braves came REAL close to playing for nobody...several times. You could sit where ever you wanted.
Coincidentally, the Braves are uprooting from a lower-income area to a high-middle-class neighborhood...possibly avoiding that kind of game for the 'Baltimore' type reason.
