I've been there. It's like 10 miles away from downtown Atlanta. Truist Park doesn't have adequate public transit. Maybe some of the bars/restaurants nearby are minority owned but people at the games would be staying all over the area, including farther away from Atlanta.

Kemp couldn't find minorities to pose with him in the bill signing photo op? Hmm...
