Hot Topic: Proposed stadium for Falcons

Posted: Updated:

Atlanta has been talking for months over the Falcons push for a new stadium. With a $1 billion price tag, many residents aren't sold on the idea of helping to pay for it.

While the team would cover the bulk of the cost, and estimated $300 million would come from the state's hotel/motel tax. Some residents believe that money could be better spent on things like infrastructure or roadways.

The NFL says if Atlanta wants to host another Super Bowl, a new stadium would improve the city's chances.

So, we want to know: How do you feel about the proposed new Falcons stadium? Post your responses on our FOX 5 Atlanta Facebook page, tweet us @GoodDayAtlanta, or email us at goodday@myfoxatlanta.com! We'll read some of your responses during the 9 am hour of Good Day Atlanta.
