I haven't decided how I feel just yet because I think Turner is/was great for the Braves and Atlanta. Gonna need to see what the new one will look like, but either way I need to catch a game or two before they move.

Would have never thought they would leave turner field this early. Surprised they would drop the capacity by that much, seems like that would cost them revenue.

Braves had some great seasons there! The Ted is a pretty cool park, but not originally designed for baseball, but obviously the new one will be. Can't blame em' for moving to the burbs from downtown ATL though. Doesn't seem that long ago when they demo'd Fulton County Stadium.

Turner is a great stadium. Good view from most any seat. Parking is a breeze. Access off the interstate is easy. This move could bite em.

There's tons of ways to get out of where they are moving to. I stay on the same exit every year in September for a meeting. It's also much closer to their ticket holders. Where they are now is dangerous if you walk more than a block away.
