Say what you want about the Braves as an organization, but they’re definitely getting their money’s worth when it comes to their new home. Cobb County is already on the hook for a significant amount of money towards the stadium and now the AJC is reporting that the Braves are claiming that the county still has to pay even more.
The Braves say the county has not fulfilled its obligation to fund $14 million on transportation infrastructure. County officials say they are working with the team to identify what projects may count toward that commitment. Cobb Transportation Director Jim Wilgus wrote in an internal memo obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the county has already spent $69.
