		After reconstruction was complete in 1997, the 1960s-era Atlanta Fulton County Stadium, whose south parking lot the new stadium was built in, was imploded.

		Even ACOG's critics--those who believe the bidding process' complex requirements, financial cost and stringent selection criteria keep far too many African-American companies on the outside looking in--say that these figures represent a vast improvement over the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, where Black businesses were afforded little opportunity to share in the wealth.
