N.\'(( CLIFFORD OXFORD ATLANTA.GEORGIA 30303 ' BENNY L.IRVIN 525 - 3404 PAUL E. PRESSLEY ELLIS C. HOOPER November 13, 1964 The Honorable Ivan Allen Mayor, City of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia Dear Ivan: I want to congratulate you on procuring the Milwaukee Braves for 1966. The delay of one year should not be harmful, but actually should enable us to get a better start in presenting a good front during that season. In view of the fact that Legion Field in Birmingham has now been enlarged to 69,000 and has neither college football, professional football, or baseball in it does indicate the great need for a major stadium in a city of our size. I think it is wonderful that you have provided this leadership for an installation that never would have been built under the administration of your predecessor. I sincerely hope that the team will be successful in Atlanta and that we will ultimately procure a Major League football franchise. With kind regards, I am yours, Clifford Oxford CO/bjm cc: Mr. Arthur Montgomery �
