FIVE months after the end of the Centennial Olympics, the Games main stadium has major cracks on the ground level and chips deep into the upper deck concrete. No cause of the damage has been determined, nor has it been decided who will pay for repairs before baseball's Atlanta Braves begin to play there on March 29th.

Richard Monteilh, executive director of the Games group charged with ensuring the quality of Olympic sites, called the cracks "superficial wounds."
