google earth remains awesome one day later
So when did they completely pave over Fulton County Stadium's old resting spot? On Google Earth, you can see Fulco's field sitting next to Turner's. It looks like the stadium itself is gone, but the diamond and grass remains. I would think this picture had to be taken sometime in late 1997, as they blew the Stadium up in August or September of that year, I believe.
Meanwhile, 30 or so miles northwest of there, the Avenue at East Cobb rests in plain site, dating the picture to late 1999, at the earliest. I'm fairly sure it opened up sometime in September or October of '99.
Okay, there's really not much difference between this and Google Map, but the presentation is infinitely cooler.
