The Atlanta Falcons have reportedly decided to drop all negotiations to build the new stadium on the south site and build on the north site.
Lloyd Hawk, chairman of the board of trustees of Friendship Baptist Church, said his attorneys received a call Tuesday morning from Duriya Farooqui, chief operating officer of the City of Atlanta, saying the Falcons were turning their attention to the north site.
The move came as a surprise, because active negotiations were underway with Friendship Baptist Church. The latest proposals and counterproposals were being made as late as Monday afternoon with the gap between the two becoming more narrow.
“We had gotten closer,” Hawk said. “Every meeting, they’ve gotten a little closer. The dollars involved were getting pretty manageable.”
