As we discussed today, I’m going to need to shift gears, so the list of people to-interview is a lot longer than the people I have.
I have talked to Bryan Harris at Jackson Spalding, and he did give me some general insight into the plans of the ballpark as well as the communication strategies that went into promoting it. We talked about plans for the future as well as preparation past and present. Harris is a reputable and intelligent source on the park, because his job requires him to be, and I believe I have at least some usable stuff from talking with him.
From there, I will analyze ballparks with similar layouts to the ones the Braves are planning, with Dallas/Arlington as a temporary model. I’m working on figuring out who exactly those people will be (I know this goes against instructions here, but I’m in full course-correct mode), but I know that chamber of commerce from these cities will be involved, as well as local business owners, where I’ll just spend a day in that area and talk to people.
