SunTrust Park: New Home to the Atlanta Braves

Thursday, June 18, 2015

There has been a lot of controversy over the decision to move the Atlanta Braves out of Turner Field and in to Cobb County. There are both proponents that think the move couldn’t come at a better time and there are those opponents that think the Braves should stay in the city where they got their name. Whatever the viewpoint, the decision has been made and the dollars are being spent. I headed over to Smyrna to check out how the construction of SunTrust Park is coming along.
