It’s easy logic to put a sports bar and restaurant just a few steps away from the Georgia Dome and Philips Arena. But the details are a little more complicated, said Alpharetta sole practitioner Eric S. Chofnas, who represented the business venture that recently launched Stats, which boasts 70 high-definition TVs and technology that gives patrons their own supply of beer at their tables.

Real estate was a challenge, given that the area around Centennial Olympic Park is one of the fastest-developing in town. But Chofnas’s clients, David D. Marvin and Winston A. Porter, are veteran developers of that neighborhood.
