Atlanta, Georgia November 11, 2013- The braves are making a new home in Cobb County, that will accommodate residents and fans. SunTrust Park is the new name for the stadium that will feature delicious eatery’s such as Antico Pizza, Superica and Fox Bros Bar-B-Q. The property will contain more than 60 acres from the northern intersection of I-75 and I-285 in Atlanta. The new community will include a mixed use development adjacent from SunTrust Park, shopping centers and a hotel that will have views into the stadium. "We want our fans to be immersed in the experience of SunTrust Park," said Derek Schiller, Executive Vice President of sales and marketing for the Atlanta Braves. "That starts by locating our preview center adjacent to the construction site, where fans can watch the park come to life in real time.”

The cost of the new is stadium is estimated at $672 million. The Atlanta braves will be the prime shareholder to the upcoming project while Cobb County taxpayers will provide nearly $300 million of the cost. Though the project on the stadium is underway, questions from the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) are still left unanswered such as access to major roadways and the mass of transit to SunTrust Park. The Braves lease at Turner Field stadium will expire at the end of 2016.
