I think it's a Nashville thing more than anything else. I feel the same way about Memphis.

If i were to plan an ATL gathering...
ya tawlkin a multi-day mini regional-BR... or a GetToGether ( like at a local restaurant - for a few hours) ?

I ask because I've done both types; each has its own merits.

Heres the problem with baseball games though. I'm not paying for a dozen or whatever tickets in advance just for people to bail last minute and me to be out money. I would think we would want tickets seated together and for a good size group to get decent tickets the day of on a weekend can be troublesome as well. We can get em but they may not be the best. Thats not a problem for me as i go to plenty of games but for people that dont go regularly they may want better tix We would all have to agree on a pricepoint. Then there is the fact that with people traveling the time of the game could be a problem. Saturday games are almost always at 4pm. That means the game will end at 8 pm. Sunday's tend to be at 1. Ideally if we were to do a game i personally would want to meet up offsite so we can pull in together and park together and tailgate and bullshit for a coulle hours before hand. Btw parking at ballgames sucks so be warned.

Let me know what you guys might want to do.

I'd be up for it depending on the date. Between work and everything we have going on with the wedding coming up, my free time on nights and weekends is almost non-existent.

What the heck, we might. We're pretty dull though, I doubt anyone would even notice.

If any out of towners were interested, my wife could see about some hotel rooms for a discount. If that is a make or break stipulation for joining.
