New Orleans, Louisiana £R r

Sone members of the Lovisiana domed stadium
authority are planning to visit Atlanta on April 135 for
the opening of the Braves baseball season. As I understand
it, they will be guests of Mayor Ivan Allen and will mke
an inspection of the new Atlanta stadium.

Dear Ben:

a

Maybe you would be interested in having: your
Atlanta bureau file something on this visit -- reactions
to the stadium, comparison of Atlanta-New Orleans needs,
etc, ——- for the state wire. I would imagine the Atlanta
Mayor's office is co-ordinating the visit and could help
your people there.

Atlanta architects for the stadium there are
George T. Heory and Bill Finch, partners in two firms
which co-ventured design of the stadium and are also double
teaming the planning of a new stadium in Cincinnati.

An interesting aspect of the Atlanta stadium is
the fact that it was designed and built in under 21 months
as compared with from four to six years for other major new
stadia. The architectural team expects to bring in the
Cincinnati stadium in from 22 to 26 months.

_ We will be happy to supply any needed fill in data
on either the Atlanta or Cincinnati projects.

Thanks,
Sincerely,

:
