About tonight’s Cobb Commission meeting.

When: 7 p.m.

Where: 100 Cherokee St.; Marietta, GA 30090

Three things you should know:

1. Arrive early. A big crowd is expected and seating is limited.

2. There could be a limit on speakers. Cobb commissioners spoke last week about limiting the number of speakers to six who would speak in favor of the stadium and six who would speak in opposition. That may not happen. But if they stick with that format, then arriving early to sign in to speak might help one's chances.

3. There will be tighter controls. Unlike the town hall meetings, where there was a free exchange between Cobb leaders and citizens, the commission meeting is more formal. That means it's likely only folks who have signed up to speak at a designated podium will be allowed to speak.
