Description
SunTrust Park is a baseball park under construction that will serve as the future home of the Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball (MLB), located in the Cumberland area of Cobb County, Georgia, northwest of Atlanta. Instead of renovating Turner Field, their current ballpark, the Braves announced on November 11, 2013, that they would leave when their lease ends after 2016 for a new stadium to be built in Cobb County, north of Atlanta.BackgroundTurner Field has been the home of the Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball since the 1997 season. It was originally built as Centennial Olympic Stadium for the 1996 Summer Olympics, then partially reconstructed as a baseball-only stadium for the 1997 baseball season, eliminating the possibility of other sporting event uses such as track and field. The stadium is owned by the Atlanta-Fulton County Recreation Authority (AFCRA) and leased to the Braves, who have full control over its operations. Turner Field is a relatively new facility, being younger than 14 of Major League Baseball's other 29 stadiums, nonetheless there were numerous issues that eventually led the Braves to seek a new ballpark.
