Turner Field

Turner Field is a baseball park located in Atlanta, Georgia. From 1997 to 2016, it served as the home ballpark to the Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball (MLB). Originally built as Centennial Olympic Stadium in 1996 to serve as the centerpiece of the 1996 Summer Olympics, the stadium was converted into a baseball park to serve as the new home of the team. The Braves moved less than one block from Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium, which served as their home ballpark for 31 seasons from 1966 to 1996.

Opening during the Braves’ “division dominance” years, Turner Field has hosted the NLDS a total of 11 times (1997–2005, 2010, 2013); it has also hosted the NLCS four times (1997–1999, 2001), as well as one World Series (1999), one NL Wild Card Game (2012, the first in baseball history), and the 2000 Major League Baseball All-Star Game.

On November 11, 2013, the Braves announced that they would leave Turner Field for SunTrust Park. The new ballpark is located in Cobb County, in the northwest suburbs outside of Atlanta. This was prompted by the expiration of the lease (in 2016) allowing the Braves to play in Turner Field. The new stadium is being constructed in a public/private partnership.[6] Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed announced on November 11, 2013 that the Turner Field site would be redeveloped once the Braves vacate the stadium.[7] Georgia State University submitted the winning bid for the Turner Field property on December 21, 2015, with plans to renovate the facility for use as a football stadium.[8] The Braves played their final game at Turner Field on October 2, 2016, a 1–0 win over the Detroit Tigers.
