Braves Release Another Picture of Future Ballpark
ATLANTA (AP) – The Atlanta Braves have released new renderings of their planned suburban stadium that show a hotel and office building towering beyond the right-field stands.
The four images focus on the multi-use development around SunTrust Park, which is set to open in 2017 in Cobb County. It will replace Turner Field near downtown Atlanta, the team’s home since 1997.
In addition to the hotel and office tower, the Braves say there will be restaurants, retail shops and housing around the stadium. They did not release details of possible tenants Wednesday, saying talks are still ongoing. But they expect to begin making announcements next year.
Some pesky details have yet to be worked out, including a planned pedestrian bridge that will allow fans to park on the opposite side of Interstate 285.
