Atlanta Can't Catch A Break!

[Johnnybravo4]

We finally get another national tv game, would probably have a packed house with vocal fans then BAM a freaking snowstorm. We'll be lucky if we get 14,000 in the highlight factory tonight. I can see it now, a Lakers fan in Phoenix saying "Atlanta sports fans are the worst....they never show up!"

It isn't fair I tell you!

[mattlanta]

Damn, is the weather really that bad down there?

[Johnnybravo4]

They would laugh at it if it were in Cleveland. In Ga a half an inch is a natural disaster

Damn, is the weather really that bad down there?

No (1-2 inches maybe?), but keep in mind that this is Atlanta and we might get one or two snow days a year, and when it does happen, EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN. If theres snow on the ground, school is cancelled, and you can call out of work LOL.

[mattlanta]

this really sucks then... I hope it doesn't cancel. it would ruin my weekend/night lol.

The game isn't till 8PM, I think the snow will be gone by then

[harry0569]

Could someone say "If you would have taken Marta, you'd be there by now!"

It's supposed to last all night. Even still, the roads will be a mess.

If anybody doesn't feel safe going, feel free to let me know. :rolleyes:

[DrReality]

This is March weather. I'm sure the guys doing the game will detail the mess the weather is causing.

[NineOhTheRino]

this is some ultra freaky ish. 20 minutes ago I was outside wearing a wifebeater and now it's snowing!

I wish it would clear up already. It is March I do not care about snow now. Show up in Dec then I may care. If it doesn't clear I won't even get to see the game on TV. My tv is out at the moment.

Yeah, i dont think the snow will be the problem, its the roads. There have already been many accidents.

LOL. Does no one drive in the snow down there?

[mattlanta]

when was the game originally supposed to start?

hoy many times have they shown the Marta bus spinning around in the snow/ice?

Everyone doesnt ride Marta. Families going to see the game are not going to take the bus.

[BusBoyIsBack]

I thought about this as well when it started snowing.

Just our luck on a flex scheduled Nationally televised primetime game vs the Cavs at home, and it's a snow storm which may make our stands embarrassingly not filled to capacity

[LOL_Hawks]

I'm not worried about Philips being empty. There are going to be plenty of LeBron/Hawks fans that only show up when a superstar is in town that will make it.
