The team would have a major disadvantage against the Braves, because it'd be farther from the center of population, which is approximately where the new stadium is going. The stadium is also outdated for the same reason it'd be so expensive for the Braves to upgrade it.

I have warmed some to the idea of the Braves playing in Smyrna - mainly because I really don't believe that most the ragtag crowd that hangs around Turner Field will follow and the atmosphere will actually be fun out there. But it isn't just people in Midtown that it will affect...many people come from the Southside of Metro Atlanta and will now have one hell of a drive to get up that way. The central location seemed to be a nice compromise. Well, minus the undesirables.
