toad - McCamish was reported to have charged the same as Dream were paying at Philips in another thread and drew poorly. Gateway could probably provide all the seats actually needed this season. I think its unlikely to happen but more likely than Nashville, Louisville or the other South East US cities mentioned above, if in fact, the Dream are leaving.

I will always and forever say no to going back to McCamish. Nothing against the arena itself or against Midtown or against Tech. But, getting TO McCamish is tough. Even if you take Marta, you still have about a 10 minute walk to and from the arena. Parking at the arena isn't plentiful (it's Midtown, parking is at a premium).

At least SFA has parking around, so that's good. I wouldn't mind College Park. I haven't been able to make any games this year sadly due to work and travel and such.

If I thought they would draw well there, I would even suggest Infinite Energy in Duluth. But McCamish, that's a big no.

Infinite Energy = Infinite Traffic jam on 85 and 285. I used to go to ECHL hockey games there. On a weeknight it took 2 hours to get there and a little over 30 minutes to return home after the game. Made the roughly 1 hour trip to SF look good. Seems like a no go for most fans who live inside the perimeter off of 400 on the west side, or anywhere of I-20. It would probably work mainly for fans that live near I-85 outside the perimeter.

McCamish saved me the last 15 minute at least compared to SF so I kind of like it. But i was apparently the only one. Once I went to the STH Select a Seat night at McCamish and I was the only STH there. Had a nice chat with Michael Cooper though. BTW - I could never see why the 10 minute walk for MARTA was such a problem, but it was.

The best I can figure College Park MARTA Station is about a 15 minute walk to the new arena. If you ride a few more minutes to the airport, you can take the Sky Train directly to the arena area. It would take me about an hour to get there from the north most MARTA station. East-West riders would have to change trains. N-S riders have to change trains for SF.

Gee - this is starting to sound like a NY thread now.

Oh yeah - Izzy probably my all time favorite Dream player - how could I forget. I still have her autographed jersey. Lennox should have been on my list too, but she only played one season with the Dream.

Randy · Posted: 09/04/19 3:16 pm :::

So the ALL Time Dream Team is:

MVP Angel
Tip
Erika
Sancho
Izzy

Now who is the coach? It seems like Meadors to me. Most wins, helped get the team off the ground and coached all of the above until Angel fired her.

Yeah Izzy was so fun to watch. She made amazing 'layups' from 6-8 feet out.

I hope it's a great arena deal ... if Atlanta can survive and thrive, it would be great for the league.

I also just posted this in the Dream 2020 thread. Got an email tonight that the Dream will not be returning to State Farm Arena.

"ATLANTA DREAM STATEMENT:

In an effort to keep you informed, there will be an article online this evening and in tomorrow’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution regarding the Dream and State Farm Arena. At the sole discretion of the management of State Farm Arena and the Atlanta Hawks, we will not be returning to State Farm Arena in 2020. However, we are speaking with multiple locations with a decision to be made in the coming weeks.

We are committed to our fans, our sponsors and the Atlanta community and are excited to continue to bring the best women’s basketball to our city.

Your continued support of the franchise has been second-to-none. We believe the future is bright for the Atlanta Dream! Beyond the arena announcement, we will have more exciting news to share in the coming month - so stay tuned!"

This exciting news seems quite mysterious......
