Re:
Atlanta Stadium
Dear Arthur:
Following your call earlier this week, we have started
reviewing all of our past studies and reports on doming
and air conditioning the Atlanta Stadium. In addition,
we plan to investigate other possibilities.
We will try to bring this together in the form of a
report that will recommend at least one system. We
will illustrate its basic concept and attempt to define
its probable cost as well as possible.
In addition, we will make other studies of "up-grading"
features that might be undertaken. These may well involve improvement of football seating configuration
,tnd/01• o apl:\oi t i o s , as woll l\'3 1,u,i tho ds of conve1•sion to
ice hockey and other uses,
One of our major concerns will be the selection of a
system and methods that will allow the work to go forward without interruption of the regular baseball and
football seasons . In this regard, we are operating on
the assumption that, should such a project be undertaken,
the stadium could be out of use in the months of December,
January, February and March.
We hope to bri ng this study to a tentative conclusi on

Dear Sid:
The stadium elevator badly needs either air
conditioning or a strong ventilation fan to provide
some form of relief for the operator.
I personally think it would be helpful if you could
put in better ventilation and also pipe sound in to
it so that the operator would have some idea of what
is happeningnin the ballgame.
In so many words, I think Andy should be looked out
for.

Dear Mr . Knorr:
y I first explain that due to con·traotual agreements the Atlanta Braves
have preference in schedulin events at Atlanta Stadium during the base ball se son . At no time during the present season have we had a period
of ten consecutive days without an event bein scheduled .
Because of thi , it has been n ceasary to consult with the Atlanta
Br ves a to the vailability of the stadium for ten days during the
1969 se on . The Br ves h ve given this matter considerable thou ht
and have held sever 1 inter- or anizational meetin
concernin the
matt r .
It i
now the Bravea studied opinion that they would be reluctant at
thi time to rel
e th stadium for a ten con ecutive day period in
1969. Thi is due not only to the N tional B seball Lea e schedul,
but 1 ob c use of the N tion 1 Profes ion 1 Soccer League of which

Sir:
In t he mont h of J une, 1966, a brochure was sent t o
me, Nathan H. Knorr, President of the Watch Tower Bibl e and
Tract Society , with the headin g "Atlanta Invites You. 11 Our
Society has given consideration to y our letter of June 14 ,
1966 , t hat came wi th the brochure, inviting us to h old a large
convention in Atlanta. I very muc h app r ec i ated your letter.
The brochure a l so contained a lett er f rom t he Governor of
t he State, as we ll as letters f rom t he Atlanta Convention
Bureau, the Atl a nta Hot e l , Mote l As s oc iat ion a nd t he Atlanta
Chamb er of Commer ce .
We had c onsidered c oming t o Atl ant a during t he day s of
July 6- 13, 1969, Sunday t o Sunday i nc l usive, and we con clude d
that we woul d ver y muc h l ike t o have t he use of the Atl a nta
Stadium, which I belie ve has a seating capa ci t y of ab out
57 , 000 people .
I wrote a letter t o Mr . Si dn ey Scarb or ough, dated May
I am encl osing a
copy of this letter that sets out all of th e de t ails . However,
I am sorry to say that up t o this writing I have not yet received
an answer to my letter . Whether the letter may have g one astray,
or whether Mr. Scarborough is n o longer in charge of t he stadium
rentals , I do not know. I thought I had the right information
that Mr. Scarborough would be the man who could answer my
questions.
25, 1967, concerning our plans f or 1969 .
I have been working with the officials in the Na t i onal
and American Baseball Leagues in regard to adjusting dates
in 1969, so that we could use various stadiums throughout the
United States. I had thought that we would by this time ha ve
a reply from Mr. Scarborough, whom I believe to be the general
manager of the Atlanta Stadium and the one to deal with in
these matters, telling us what the price would be, whether
the dates we desire would be available and whether the stadium
is open to conventions such as ours.
We anticipated bringing 40,000 to 45,000 people to Atlanta
during the eight days of the convention in 1969. But to work

out our program for the summer of 1969 we must know well in
advance whether organization controling the Atlanta Stadium
would rent the stadium to us and work out arrangements with
the Society for the use of t he stadium during these particular
dates.
I know that Mr. Joseph Cronin of the American League and
Mr. Warren Giles of the National League have appointed two
gentlemen to speak to me about trying to work out dates for
1969 so that we could use Yankee Stadium and Atlanta Stadium,
as well as other ballparks, such as Comiskey Park, Busch
Memorial Stadium and the Anaheim Stadium. We have had very
fine relations with the New York Yankees, Chicag o White Sox
and the other stadium officials mentioned, but for some
reason we do not have any definite word from Atlanta, Georg ia.
Perhaps your good offices could put me on the ri ght
track as to the person with whom I should communicate so as
to get an answer to our request for use of the Atlanta Stadium
on t he dates we need it. We would be delighted to come to
Atlanta and we li ke the facilities t hat you describe in
your broch ure. I would be very happy to come to Atlanta to
s ee t he s t adium a nd the facil i ties availab l e and to talk
contract terms a nd to let the ge ntleman in c harge kn ow what
we have done thus f ar with other sta dium of ficials across

The Watc ht ower Bible a nd Tract Society would be happy to

Dear Mr. Scarborough :
The Watchtower Bible and Tract Socie ty of New York, I nc. ,
(Jehovah 1 s Witnesses) are interested in arrangin g f or a con- ·
vention in Atlanta , Georgi a, July 6 through J uly 13, 1969 .
We wou l d need at least two da ys of ingress a nd one da y f or
e gress. So the dates that we would require are Jul y 4 through
J uly 14, 1969, if we were to have our co nvention in Atlanta.
I fully appreciate t hat in orde r to make arrangements to
use the Atlanta Stadium things must be worked out wi th the
baseball schedule first, but very likely if you speak with
the officials i n the Nat i onal league t o clear these da t es they
may do s o. However, before this would be done there are a few
questions that you may be able to answer . If yo u think it is
better for me to see you personal l y then I could fly to Atlanta
to discuss the whole matter with you and at the same time see
the sta dium and the fac ilities .
What the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, (Jehovah 's
Witnesses), would like to do in 1969 is have another international assembly in the United States . There is no place in
the United States that is large enough to hold all of Jehovah' s
witnesses in one place . So we have to have the convention in
sections and we hope to have an eastern section convention
July 6 through July 13, from Sunday to Sunday inclu sive, in
the summer of 1969. We wou ld like to have a convention at
Yankee Stadium in New York and in At l anta, Georgia on the
same dates . This would handle the eastern part of the
United States.
The following week we would like to arrange for conventions
in Chicago and St . Louis, to be held simultaneously, and this
would involve July 13 throu gh July 20. From there we would
go to the West Coast to Anaheim, July 20 to July 27. It is our
plan to use five different ball parks during this three-week
period.
I am currently working with the American league and wi t h
Mr. Joseph Cronin, its president, so as to try and clear the

Of course, I can do the same, if neces s ary, with t he Natio nal
Lea gue , with its pres ident Mr . Warre n C. Giles . At the time
I know whether the Atlanta Stadium wi l l be ava i l able and y ou
would want us to use y our stadium durin g the above - mention ed
dates, I could f ollow throu gh wi th contacting Mr . Gile s .
I
ha v e spoke n to Mr . Glennon J. Walsh, Di r ec t or of Operations
f o r the Civic Ce nter Bu sch Memo rial Stadium, and he is quite
a g reeable to r e nting the stad ium to us i f we can clear it wi t h
the Nati o nal Lea g ue .
Are you willing to rent the Atlanta Stadium to the
Watchtowe r Bible and Tract Soc iet y of New York , I nc . , f or
these e i g ht day s with at least two d a y s f or ing ress and one
da y f o r e g ress , so t ha t we ca n g et t h i ngs s et up and then
d i sman tled? What wo u l d y ou r renta l f e e be?
Would you a l so l e t u s kn ow wh o handle s t he c oncess io ns

usua lly ope ra te s i t s own c afeteria and refre shme n t s t ands , as
wel l as ha n d li ng all o f the parking . ble want agre eme nt for
all of the facilities a vailable .
To gi v e you an example , a t Yankee Sta di um i n Ne w Yo rk city
we arrange wi th the concess io na i re through t h e management of
the stadium t o take ove r a l l of their fac i l i t ie s and t o opera te
them with our volunte er help, a ll of whom are very expe r i enced .
We have handled large c o nventions f or many years , but it may be
that you are not acquain t ed with us . That is why I would be
very happy to fly to Atlanta sometime early in June , if you
would gi ve me the choice of a few dates as to when you would
be available , and then we wou l d speak about this matter . Maybe
we cou l d c ome to some a greemen t a nd you cou l d g et a better
picture of what the Wa t chtower Bib l e and Tract Society is and
what we would like to do .
Now that you know the dates we would like to have I am
sure something could be done to arrange the 1969 baseball
schedule . We anticipate that we would bring between 40,000 and
45,000 people to Atlanta and that very likely we would have
that many in attendance at our closing session, the eighth
day of the convention. That will give you some estimate of
the crowd that we expect . Whatever price you would gi ve us
for the stadium we would want to include parking faci lities
that you have, and stadium concessions. We have worked out
these matters satisfactorily with all other stadiums, and I am

confident that it can be work ed out with the Atlanta Stadium .
We would very much like to include Atlanta, Georg ia in
our s etup for the i nternational assembly of Jehovah ' s witnesses
in the United States in July of 1969 and would be very happy
to hear from you .
I f you would li ke to discuss th i s more

Dear Chief J enkins:
I have a pr oblem with which I hope you can he lp . Because of the nature of
my wor k , I am unable to attend ma jor league sporting events as often as I ·
would like . I have severa l children, two of whom are avid ba seba ll and
s occer fans. It has been my habit to carry them to the games when I cannot also attend and then pick them up after the games . In the past this has
been no problem because I simply entere d the taxi lane, drove to the front
of the stadium as any other taxi might do, picke d t hem up and left;,. I have
never before been stopped or even questipne d in my use of this lane after
the games. However, on the afternoon of J une 25th, when I attempted to enter this lane I was st oppe d by one of your officers . I explaine d the situation,
but he laughed and said he couldn 't help it . If his orders were as he sa id, to
prevent anyone using the taxi lane, then I think his orders should be change d.
If these were not hi s orders , then I think he should be punished. In any event
I fe el that he should be counsele d in how to m eet the public even when refu sing a c itizen's r equest .
Exce pt for the use of the bus and taxi lane, I have be en unable to find any
other route to the stadium after a stadium event. Las year I calle d the Atlanta Police Department and a sked for a dvice in this m atte r and was tol d
that there was nothing they knew of or any way t o get t o the stadium. It was
that night that I began using the taxi lane .and I had use d it on Saturday, June
24th , in this manner . On Sunday afternoon, as I stated earlier, when I attempted to turn from Me morial Dr ive onto Capitol Avenue into the taxi lane,
I was stopped by a police officer , badge number 1319 . At that time, for a
period of approximately a minute and a half, there was not one vehicle in
sight up over the Expressway ramp in the taxi lane. This is a distance, as
you well know, of approximately a block and a half to two blocks. My presence in tlrls lane would not have crowded it in the least and would not have
inconvenienced anyone in the stadium area. It would , however , have spared
me a great deal of distress in that it required me approximately 20-25 minutes
to get close enough to the stadium to allow one of my other children to go and
search for the ones who were waiting to be picked up.

I know you have many problems and I know your officers are called on for
many things. I do not want to add to your burdens or to theirs, but I do
feel that it would be a better set-up if you allowed private citizens traveling to the stadium to pick up spectators to do so with the same privileges
as commercial vehicles exercise. Certainly, before the game starts, I
can see where the taxi lane should not be used, particularly since there are
several other lanes leading to the stadium itself. However, after the stadium events are over there seems to me to be no logical reason why we
could not use the lane for the same purpose as the commercial vehicles use
it. I would appreciate your giving this your careful consideration. For
their information, I am forwarding copies of this letter to Mayor Ivan Allen
and to Mr. William C. Bartholomay.

SUBJECT:
Roof for Atlanta Stadium
Dear Mr. Mayor:
It is suggested that a study be made to the feasibility of the type
roof for the Atlanta Stadium described as follows:
That telescoping rafters or tracks be installed and eight to twelve
pie shaped roof panels of light weight materials be installed on tracks.
Panels could be raised or lowered when necessary. It seems that a roof
of this nature could be operated up and down in a matter of minutes.
The telescoping tracks could be anchored to steel beams now supporting
roof.
Sincerely,

NOTE: If an umbrella type cover is decided using a retractable pole to
lift cover I suggest as a substitute a gas filled balloon to lift cover and
a system be devised to recover the gas for future use.

Re:
Atlanta Stadium Dome
Dear Ivan:
As you requested, we have over the past few months made an
extensive study of the possibilities for a removable roof
for Atl a nta Stadium.
Working with Birdair Structures, Inc., we have now developed
a design for an air-supported "umbrella" roof dome that
Birdair believes can be put up or taken down in only three
hours.
This roof would be lifted into place by a 300-ft. hi g h
telescoping mast in the center of the field, which would
then retract into a missile-type "silo," leaving the stadium
covered and ready for use. We submit herewith slides and
drawings illustrating the system.
Rough pre liminary estimates indica te that the r oof system
and mast, i ncluding the air-support e quipme nt and a ventilation system , would probably cost between $1½ and $2
million. However, the present field lighting system would
have to be modified, thereby making the total cost of the
roof, its support systems, lighting modifications, and
other work on portal vestibules , etc., possibly as hi gh
as $4 or $5 million. However, a side benefit of t he lighting modifications could be t he raising of li ght levels to
new requirement s for night color television for footbal l .
As you will recall, all other types of dome structures and
mechanical systems proposed in the past have been estimated
at $15 to $18 million.
�HEERY AND HEERY· Fli'JCH. ALEXANDER, BARNES. ROTHSCHILD.AND PASCHAL
The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr .

This new approach would not only be less objectionable aesthetically, but could be utilized as a permanent-type roof,
should the Authority subsequently find it desirable to
install a heating a nd air conditioning system and plan to
leave the roof in place for extended periods of time or
permanently. The probable cost for a heating and air conditioning system for the stadium would run between $5 and
$6 million, which would still give Atlanta a far better
barga in than the Houston stadium, which cost some $38 million and is substantially smaller in both seating capacity
and dimension than the Atlanta Stadium .
We believe that this design may be an answer to your desire
to assure f a ns traveling to Atlanta Stadium from cities
throughout the Southeast that scheduled events will be
played on the scheduled dates.
Sincerely yours ,

A giant umbrella raised in less than three hours may be in the
works for Atlanta Stadium.
Proposed to Atlanta Mayor Ivan Allen today was an historic
first--an air-supported stadium roof project costing less than one third
that for previous similar projects.
The plastic umbrella, going up or down according to the weather,
could become a model for other stadium structures in the country.
Its
development resulted from the joint efforts of the architects who
designed Atlanta Stadium and a Buffalo, N. Y., manufacturing company.
Architects George T. Heery of Heery & Heery and James H. Finch
of Finch, Alexander, Barnes, Rothschild& . Paschal presented Mayor Ivan
Al l en , J r . thei r s olution to a s tadi um dome to assure fair weather for
all a t hle ti c c ontes t s and other e vent s at Atl a nta Stadium .
"The b eauty of th is typ e o f c overi n g ," th e arch itec t s said, "i s
its flexibility .
We can hav e s unsh i n e for o u r grass in f a ir weather
and still provide complete protec t ion for fans wh e n e v er t he rai n s come."
The unique design will give Atlanta the larg~st protected playing
field in the world, exceeding by far Houston's celebrated Astrodome
in si.z e and spec tator capacity.
�- Page 2 A 300-foot tall telescoping mast in the center of the field
would raise the roof into place, and then would retract into a
missile type "silo" leaving the stadium covered and ready for use

Mayor Allen had requested the architect's study, seeking a
way to cover Atlanta Stadium without the expense and problems
rn;;g un t§r~g "t1y Houston with its p
rm n
nt:. dom
.
"Atlanta 's weather is unusually good," he had pointed out,
both ba seball and football.
" f or
We we r e looking for a de vice to assure
Atlanta fans and those who travel from Southeaste r n c iti es t hat
they would see the scheduled conte s ts . "
Heating and cooling will still be p oss i ble under th e umbre ll a
arrangement, if the Atlanta Stadium Authority feels the expense is
justified.
However, a ventilation system will b e a part of the
original project that will maintain comfortable conditions for the 3-4
hours of expected periods of u se.
The plastic roof initially will demand modifications of lighting,
portal v estibules and other work which will run the total cost to
four to five million dollars.
But this compares with a $15 - 18 million
figure for dome structures and mechancial systems proposed in the past.
Houston Stadium was constructed with dome at a cost of about $38
million, and is over 100 feet smal le r than Atlanta Stadium, wi th 10,000
less seating capacity.
�- Page 3 -
Construction cost of Atlanta Stadium was $18 million, including
land,
financing cost and other fees connected with the revenue bond.
The new umbrella dome would give Atlanta the world's largest
roof span with approximately 740 feet in diameter, free of obstruction.
Various forms of design since the early 1920's in Germany have
flirted with oval coverings, beginning with the Zeiss-Dywidag method
extending to the Union dome in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1958--at
that time the largest dome ever built, measuring 394· feet in diameter
and rising to 116 feet.
The Buffalo, N. Y.,
firm who participated in the Atlanta
proposal, estimates the roof system, ventilation system and air
support equipment will probably cost $1½ to $2 million, excluding the
lighting changes.
A byproduct of the lighting modification would be raising of
light level to ideal requirements for night color television.

Proposed Covering for Atlanta Stadium
Dear Mr. Nixon:
You asked for my comments on the proposed air-supported covering
on the Atlanta Stadium, and I would think that the following
information would be necessary before one could fairly judge the
above structure:
1.
The material used and the life expectancy.
2.
The noise of the inflating equipment.
3.
The number of men that it takes to erect and take down
the covering, as they would have to be trained people
on a regular payroll in order to function efficiently.
4.
For an ingress and egress for a large number of people
the method of controlling the pressure for keeping the
dome supported.
I am afraid this is not of much help, but I believe the information
would be necessary before one could make a recommendation.
Yours truly,

Re:
Atlanta Stadium
Dear Arthur:
Following your call earlier this week, we have started
reviewing all of our past studies and reports on doming
and air conditioning the Atlanta Stadium. In addition,
we plan to investigate other possibilities.
We will try to bring this together in the form of a
report that will recommend at least one system. We
will illustrate its basic concept and attempt to define
its probable cost as well as possible.
In addition, we will make other studies of "up-grading"
features that might be undertaken. These may well involve improvement of football seating configuration
,tnd/01• o apl:\oi t i o s , as woll l\'3 1,u,i tho ds of conve1•sion to
ice hockey and other uses,
One of our major concerns will be the selection of a
system and methods that will allow the work to go forward without interruption of the regular baseball and
football seasons . In this regard, we are operating on
the assumption that, should such a project be undertaken,
the stadium could be out of use in the months of December,
January, February and March.
We hope to bri ng this study to a tentative conclusi on

Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Sid:
The stadium elevator badly needs either air
conditioning or a strong ventilation fan to provide
some form of relief for the operator.
I personally think it would be helpful if you could
put in better ventilation and also pipe sound in to
it so that the operator would have some idea of what
is happeningnin the ballgame.
In so many words, I think Andy should be looked out
for.

Ivan Allen. Jr.

Dear Mr . Knorr:
y I first explain that due to con·traotual agreements the Atlanta Braves
have preference in schedulin events at Atlanta Stadium during the base ball se son . At no time during the present season have we had a period
of ten consecutive days without an event bein scheduled .
Because of thi , it has been n ceasary to consult with the Atlanta
Br ves a to the vailability of the stadium for ten days during the
1969 se on . The Br ves h ve given this matter considerable thou ht
and have held sever 1 inter- or anizational meetin
concernin the
matt r .
It i
now the Bravea studied opinion that they would be reluctant at

Sir:
In t he mont h of J une, 1966, a brochure was sent t o
me, Nathan H. Knorr, President of the Watch Tower Bibl e and
Tract Society , with the headin g "Atlanta Invites You. 11 Our
Society has given consideration to y our letter of June 14 ,
1966 , t hat came wi th the brochure, inviting us to h old a large
convention in Atlanta. I very muc h app r ec i ated your letter.
The brochure a l so contained a lett er f rom t he Governor of
t he State, as we ll as letters f rom t he Atlanta Convention
Bureau, the Atl a nta Hot e l , Mote l As s oc iat ion a nd t he Atlanta
Chamb er of Commer ce .
We had c onsidered c oming t o Atl ant a during t he day s of
July 6- 13, 1969, Sunday t o Sunday i nc l usive, and we con clude d
that we woul d ver y muc h l ike t o have t he use of the Atl a nta
Stadium, which I belie ve has a seating capa ci t y of ab out
57 , 000 people .
I wrote a letter t o Mr . Si dn ey Scarb or ough, dated May
I am encl osing a
copy of this letter that sets out all of th e de t ails . However,
I am sorry to say that up t o this writing I have not yet received
an answer to my letter . Whether the letter may have g one astray,
or whether Mr. Scarborough is n o longer in charge of t he stadium
rentals , I do not know. I thought I had the right information
that Mr. Scarborough would be the man who could answer my
questions.
25, 1967, concerning our plans f or 1969 .
I have been working with the officials in the Na t i onal
and American Baseball Leagues in regard to adjusting dates
in 1969, so that we could use various stadiums throughout the
United States. I had thought that we would by this time ha ve
a reply from Mr. Scarborough, whom I believe to be the general
manager of the Atlanta Stadium and the one to deal with in
these matters, telling us what the price would be, whether
the dates we desire would be available and whether the stadium
is open to conventions such as ours.
We anticipated bringing 40,000 to 45,000 people to Atlanta
during the eight days of the convention in 1969. But to work

out our program for the summer of 1969 we must know well in
advance whether organization controling the Atlanta Stadium
would rent the stadium to us and work out arrangements with
the Society for the use of t he stadium during these particular
dates.
I know that Mr. Joseph Cronin of the American League and
Mr. Warren Giles of the National League have appointed two
gentlemen to speak to me about trying to work out dates for
1969 so that we could use Yankee Stadium and Atlanta Stadium,
as well as other ballparks, such as Comiskey Park, Busch
Memorial Stadium and the Anaheim Stadium. We have had very
fine relations with the New York Yankees, Chicag o White Sox
and the other stadium officials mentioned, but for some
reason we do not have any definite word from Atlanta, Georg ia.
Perhaps your good offices could put me on the ri ght
track as to the person with whom I should communicate so as
to get an answer to our request for use of the Atlanta Stadium
on t he dates we need it. We would be delighted to come to
Atlanta and we li ke the facilities t hat you describe in
your broch ure. I would be very happy to come to Atlanta to
s ee t he s t adium a nd the facil i ties availab l e and to talk
contract terms a nd to let the ge ntleman in c harge kn ow what
we have done thus f ar with other sta dium of ficials across

The Watc ht ower Bible a nd Tract Society would be happy to

Dear Mr. Scarborough :
The Watchtower Bible and Tract Socie ty of New York, I nc. ,
(Jehovah 1 s Witnesses) are interested in arrangin g f or a con- ·
vention in Atlanta , Georgi a, July 6 through J uly 13, 1969 .
We wou l d need at least two da ys of ingress a nd one da y f or
e gress. So the dates that we would require are Jul y 4 through
J uly 14, 1969, if we were to have our co nvention in Atlanta.
I fully appreciate t hat in orde r to make arrangements to
use the Atlanta Stadium things must be worked out wi th the
baseball schedule first, but very likely if you speak with
the officials i n the Nat i onal league t o clear these da t es they
may do s o. However, before this would be done there are a few
questions that you may be able to answer . If yo u think it is
better for me to see you personal l y then I could fly to Atlanta
to discuss the whole matter with you and at the same time see
the sta dium and the fac ilities .
What the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, (Jehovah 's
Witnesses), would like to do in 1969 is have another international assembly in the United States . There is no place in
the United States that is large enough to hold all of Jehovah' s
witnesses in one place . So we have to have the convention in
sections and we hope to have an eastern section convention
July 6 through July 13, from Sunday to Sunday inclu sive, in
the summer of 1969. We wou ld like to have a convention at
Yankee Stadium in New York and in At l anta, Georgia on the
same dates . This would handle the eastern part of the
United States.
The following week we would like to arrange for conventions
in Chicago and St . Louis, to be held simultaneously, and this
would involve July 13 throu gh July 20. From there we would
go to the West Coast to Anaheim, July 20 to July 27. It is our
plan to use five different ball parks during this three-week
period.
I am currently working with the American league and wi t h
Mr. Joseph Cronin, its president, so as to try and clear the

Of course, I can do the same, if neces s ary, with t he Natio nal
Lea gue , with its pres ident Mr . Warre n C. Giles . At the time
I know whether the Atlanta Stadium wi l l be ava i l able and y ou
would want us to use y our stadium durin g the above - mention ed
dates, I could f ollow throu gh wi th contacting Mr . Gile s .
I
ha v e spoke n to Mr . Glennon J. Walsh, Di r ec t or of Operations
f o r the Civic Ce nter Bu sch Memo rial Stadium, and he is quite
a g reeable to r e nting the stad ium to us i f we can clear it wi t h
the Nati o nal Lea g ue .
Are you willing to rent the Atlanta Stadium to the
Watchtowe r Bible and Tract Soc iet y of New York , I nc . , f or
these e i g ht day s with at least two d a y s f or ing ress and one
da y f o r e g ress , so t ha t we ca n g et t h i ngs s et up and then
d i sman tled? What wo u l d y ou r renta l f e e be?
Would you a l so l e t u s kn ow wh o handle s t he c oncess io ns

wel l as ha n d li ng all o f the parking . ble want agre eme nt for
all of the facilities a vailable .
To gi v e you an example , a t Yankee Sta di um i n Ne w Yo rk city
we arrange wi th the concess io na i re through t h e management of
the stadium t o take ove r a l l of their fac i l i t ie s and t o opera te
them with our volunte er help, a ll of whom are very expe r i enced .
We have handled large c o nventions f or many years , but it may be
that you are not acquain t ed with us . That is why I would be
very happy to fly to Atlanta sometime early in June , if you
would gi ve me the choice of a few dates as to when you would
be available , and then we wou l d speak about this matter . Maybe
we cou l d c ome to some a greemen t a nd you cou l d g et a better
picture of what the Wa t chtower Bib l e and Tract Society is and
what we would like to do .
Now that you know the dates we would like to have I am
sure something could be done to arrange the 1969 baseball
schedule . We anticipate that we would bring between 40,000 and
45,000 people to Atlanta and that very likely we would have
that many in attendance at our closing session, the eighth
day of the convention. That will give you some estimate of
the crowd that we expect . Whatever price you would gi ve us
for the stadium we would want to include parking faci lities
that you have, and stadium concessions. We have worked out
these matters satisfactorily with all other stadiums, and I am

confident that it can be work ed out with the Atlanta Stadium .
We would very much like to include Atlanta, Georg ia in
our s etup for the i nternational assembly of Jehovah ' s witnesses
in the United States in July of 1969 and would be very happy
to hear from you .
I f you would li ke to discuss th i s more

Dear Chief J enkins:
I have a pr oblem with which I hope you can he lp . Because of the nature of
my wor k , I am unable to attend ma jor league sporting events as often as I ·
would like . I have severa l children, two of whom are avid ba seba ll and
s occer fans. It has been my habit to carry them to the games when I cannot also attend and then pick them up after the games . In the past this has
been no problem because I simply entere d the taxi lane, drove to the front
of the stadium as any other taxi might do, picke d t hem up and left;,. I have
never before been stopped or even questipne d in my use of this lane after
the games. However, on the afternoon of J une 25th, when I attempted to enter this lane I was st oppe d by one of your officers . I explaine d the situation,
but he laughed and said he couldn 't help it . If his orders were as he sa id, to
prevent anyone using the taxi lane, then I think his orders should be change d.
If these were not hi s orders , then I think he should be punished. In any event
I fe el that he should be counsele d in how to m eet the public even when refu sing a c itizen's r equest .
Exce pt for the use of the bus and taxi lane, I have be en unable to find any
other route to the stadium after a stadium event. Las year I calle d the Atlanta Police Department and a sked for a dvice in this m atte r and was tol d
that there was nothing they knew of or any way t o get t o the stadium. It was
that night that I began using the taxi lane .and I had use d it on Saturday, June
24th , in this manner . On Sunday afternoon, as I stated earlier, when I attempted to turn from Me morial Dr ive onto Capitol Avenue into the taxi lane,
I was stopped by a police officer , badge number 1319 . At that time, for a
period of approximately a minute and a half, there was not one vehicle in
sight up over the Expressway ramp in the taxi lane. This is a distance, as
you well know, of approximately a block and a half to two blocks. My presence in tlrls lane would not have crowded it in the least and would not have
inconvenienced anyone in the stadium area. It would , however , have spared
me a great deal of distress in that it required me approximately 20-25 minutes
to get close enough to the stadium to allow one of my other children to go and
search for the ones who were waiting to be picked up.

I know you have many problems and I know your officers are called on for
many things. I do not want to add to your burdens or to theirs, but I do
feel that it would be a better set-up if you allowed private citizens traveling to the stadium to pick up spectators to do so with the same privileges
as commercial vehicles exercise. Certainly, before the game starts, I
can see where the taxi lane should not be used, particularly since there are
several other lanes leading to the stadium itself. However, after the stadium events are over there seems to me to be no logical reason why we
could not use the lane for the same purpose as the commercial vehicles use
it. I would appreciate your giving this your careful consideration. For
their information, I am forwarding copies of this letter to Mayor Ivan Allen
and to Mr. William C. Bartholomay.

SUBJECT:
Roof for Atlanta Stadium
Dear Mr. Mayor:
It is suggested that a study be made to the feasibility of the type
roof for the Atlanta Stadium described as follows:
That telescoping rafters or tracks be installed and eight to twelve
pie shaped roof panels of light weight materials be installed on tracks.
Panels could be raised or lowered when necessary. It seems that a roof
of this nature could be operated up and down in a matter of minutes.
The telescoping tracks could be anchored to steel beams now supporting
roof.

Re:
Atlanta Stadium Dome
Dear Ivan:
As you requested, we have over the past few months made an
extensive study of the possibilities for a removable roof
for Atl a nta Stadium.
Working with Birdair Structures, Inc., we have now developed
a design for an air-supported "umbrella" roof dome that
Birdair believes can be put up or taken down in only three
hours.
This roof would be lifted into place by a 300-ft. hi g h
telescoping mast in the center of the field, which would
then retract into a missile-type "silo," leaving the stadium
covered and ready for use. We submit herewith slides and
drawings illustrating the system.
Rough pre liminary estimates indica te that the r oof system
and mast, i ncluding the air-support e quipme nt and a ventilation system , would probably cost between $1½ and $2
million. However, the present field lighting system would
have to be modified, thereby making the total cost of the
roof, its support systems, lighting modifications, and
other work on portal vestibules , etc., possibly as hi gh
as $4 or $5 million. However, a side benefit of t he lighting modifications could be t he raising of li ght levels to
new requirement s for night color television for footbal l .
As you will recall, all other types of dome structures and
mechanical systems proposed in the past have been estimated
at $15 to $18 million.

This new approach would not only be less objectionable aesthetically, but could be utilized as a permanent-type roof,
should the Authority subsequently find it desirable to
install a heating a nd air conditioning system and plan to
leave the roof in place for extended periods of time or
permanently. The probable cost for a heating and air conditioning system for the stadium would run between $5 and
$6 million, which would still give Atlanta a far better
barga in than the Houston stadium, which cost some $38 million and is substantially smaller in both seating capacity
and dimension than the Atlanta Stadium .
We believe that this design may be an answer to your desire
to assure f a ns traveling to Atlanta Stadium from cities
throughout the Southeast that scheduled events will be
played on the scheduled dates.
Sincerely yours ,

A giant umbrella raised in less than three hours may be in the
works for Atlanta Stadium.
Proposed to Atlanta Mayor Ivan Allen today was an historic
first--an air-supported stadium roof project costing less than one third
that for previous similar projects.
The plastic umbrella, going up or down according to the weather,
could become a model for other stadium structures in the country.
Its
development resulted from the joint efforts of the architects who
designed Atlanta Stadium and a Buffalo, N. Y., manufacturing company.
Architects George T. Heery of Heery & Heery and James H. Finch
of Finch, Alexander, Barnes, Rothschild& . Paschal presented Mayor Ivan
Al l en , J r . thei r s olution to a s tadi um dome to assure fair weather for
all a t hle ti c c ontes t s and other e vent s at Atl a nta Stadium .
"The b eauty of th is typ e o f c overi n g ," th e arch itec t s said, "i s
its flexibility .
We can hav e s unsh i n e for o u r grass in f a ir weather
and still provide complete protec t ion for fans wh e n e v er t he rai n s come."
The unique design will give Atlanta the larg~st protected playing
field in the world, exceeding by far Houston's celebrated Astrodome
in si.z e and spec tator capacity.
�- Page 2 A 300-foot tall telescoping mast in the center of the field
would raise the roof into place, and then would retract into a
missile type "silo" leaving the stadium covered and ready for use
in only three hours erection time.
Mayor Allen had requested the architect's study, seeking a
way to cover Atlanta Stadium without the expense and problems
rn;;g un t§r~g "t1y Houston with its p
rm n
nt:. dom
.
"Atlanta 's weather is unusually good," he had pointed out,
both ba seball and football.
" f or
We we r e looking for a de vice to assure
Atlanta fans and those who travel from Southeaste r n c iti es t hat
they would see the scheduled conte s ts . "
Heating and cooling will still be p oss i ble under th e umbre ll a
arrangement, if the Atlanta Stadium Authority feels the expense is
justified.
However, a ventilation system will b e a part of the
original project that will maintain comfortable conditions for the 3-4
hours of expected periods of u se.
The plastic roof initially will demand modifications of lighting,
portal v estibules and other work which will run the total cost to
four to five million dollars.
But this compares with a $15 - 18 million
figure for dome structures and mechancial systems proposed in the past.
Houston Stadium was constructed with dome at a cost of about $38
million, and is over 100 feet smal le r than Atlanta Stadium, wi th 10,000
less seating capacity.
�- Page 3 -
Construction cost of Atlanta Stadium was $18 million, including
land,
financing cost and other fees connected with the revenue bond.
The new umbrella dome would give Atlanta the world's largest
roof span with approximately 740 feet in diameter, free of obstruction.
Various forms of design since the early 1920's in Germany have
flirted with oval coverings, beginning with the Zeiss-Dywidag method
extending to the Union dome in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1958--at
that time the largest dome ever built, measuring 394· feet in diameter
and rising to 116 feet.
The Buffalo, N. Y.,
firm who participated in the Atlanta
proposal, estimates the roof system, ventilation system and air
support equipment will probably cost $1½ to $2 million, excluding the
lighting changes.
A byproduct of the lighting modification would be raising of
light level to ideal requirements for night color television.

Proposed Covering for Atlanta Stadium
Dear Mr. Nixon:
You asked for my comments on the proposed air-supported covering
on the Atlanta Stadium, and I would think that the following
information would be necessary before one could fairly judge the
above structure:
1.
The material used and the life expectancy.
2.
The noise of the inflating equipment.
3.
The number of men that it takes to erect and take down
the covering, as they would have to be trained people
on a regular payroll in order to function efficiently.
4.
For an ingress and egress for a large number of people
the method of controlling the pressure for keeping the
dome supported.
I am afraid this is not of much help, but I believe the information
would be necessary before one could make a recommendation.
Yours truly,
R. G. Aaron

Dear Mr. Moore:
A Housing Resources Committee is being established in Atlanta to
work closely with and as an adjunct to the Mayor's Office in a
special effort to provide through pr·i vate enterprise, non-profit
organizations and public housing sufficient housing units for all
those in low and medium income brackets in Atlanta to be housed
in decent, safe and sanitary housing and to eliminate existing
slums in our city.
Sub-committees of the Housing Resources Comnittee will soon be
appointed in various fields of endeavor to serve on the Committee
for accomplishing this momentous objective.
You have been nominated to serve with several others on the
Public Information Sub-Committee. It is anticipated that at its
first meeting each Sub-Committee will . elect its own Chairman,
wh o will also be the Sub-Committee's representative on the
Executive Group of the Housing Resources Committee as a whole.
It is also expected that each Sub-Committee, in addition to
supplying "know how" in its particular field, will also be
influential at all levels to gain acceptance for and promotion
of the program and would select at least two young men from
firms which can afford to devote part of their time for intensive
work with the Sub-Committee.
It would also be helpful if each Sub-Committee could form an
advisory panel of people active in the field of housing who would
�Mr. Moore
Page Two

remain free to pursue their active business without conflict of
interests.
We hope that you will be able to serve on this Sub-Committee.
Please advise Col. Malcolm Jones (telephone 522-4463, Ext. 432

Dear Ivan:
I bring to your attention an article in the Sunday Atlanta Journal-Constitution
about the rent strike against the Public Housing Project in St. Louis because
of the deplorable condition the property is in. The article related that the
project was 12 years old and the elevators are out of order, there is garbage
in the hallway and extreme valdalism, most of which is done by children who
live in the project and who are from fatherless families. There was also re-
ported cans, bottles and garbage in the yards. The article reported further
that these people propose to continue this "rent strike'' until this deplorable
condition is corrected by the City of St. Louis by providing more police pro-
tection and better janitorial service. It seems to me that some of these problems
could be solved by better housekeeping on the part of the tenants instead of ex-
pecting the governmental authority to look after them.
I have just written a letter to Rodney Cook relating to possible legislation
against tenants of willful destruction to property. It seems to me that now
is the time to require the tenants to show responsibility and appreciation for
their own property as well as the property of others. We will be happy to
do anything we can to help this type cf legislation through the proper chanels.
Kind regards, and I look forward to hearing you speak to our Board on
the 15th.
Cordially,

Dear Dr. Davis:
May I acknowledge receipt of your wire.
I would suggest that you prepare the resolution outlined in your
wre and submit it immediately to the Housing Resources
Committee, Mr, Cecil Alexander, Chairman, and, perhaps, to
the Community Relations Commission, Mr. Irving Kaler,
Chairman. Please also forward me copies.
I basically concur in the general outlines which you have furnished
me, and in regards to Item 6, Fair Housing legislation, I will
publically support the President's new Civil Rights Bill advocating
a@ non-discriminatory housing policy.
This latter topic is a matter that must be handled at the National
level and will be fully supported on that basis by me.
Sincerely,
Ivan Allen, Ir.
