The Georgia High School Sports Association announced it would be moving this year’s state football championship games on Tuesday.
After spending 11 years in the Georgia Dome and then the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the games will move to Georgia State Stadium, the former home of the Atlanta Braves, starting this fall.
The move is said to be based on the extreme renting expenses at Mercedes-Benz-Stadium compared to that of the old Georgia Dome. As the AJC mentioned, the new renting fees of around $600,000 are nearly double those from the Dome.
