Blame should be 50/50 with city and Georgia on that end.
Georgia pocketed money in 2005 and waived the clause for "first/top" tier standard for the Dome instead of renovating it.
The Dome was renovated later on, but not significantly.
I also wouldn't consider it a dump. The issue is that it's a convention center designed to host football with a limited amount tailgating dedicated to it in addition to the failed Bottle District area.
The city is ****ing stupid enough to have let the Rams have a clause to leave before the Dome was paid off in the first place.
