Braves kicking ballpark food up a notch at new SunTrust Park

ATLANTA (WDEF) – It’s a long way from the days of the typical baseball dog at the old Fulton County Stadium.

When the Atlanta Braves open their new SunTrust Park in Cobb County in three weeks (April 14th), expect a stadium food upgrade.

The new ballpark offers several of Atlanta’s top restaurants and chefs.

Take a look at who is on the menu.

Also, the concessions stands will serve up a “taste of Braves Country” by serving cuisine from throughout the South.
