Truist Park and the Atlanta Braves

Georgia

Truist Park opened in two thousand seventeen on the Cumberland Galleria site in Cobb County, just off Interstate Seventy-Five, replacing Turner Field as home of the Atlanta Braves. The Braves are one of baseball's oldest continuous franchises, tracing their lineage to the Boston Red Stockings of eighteen seventy-one, through the Boston Braves and Milwaukee Braves before landing in Atlanta in nineteen sixty-six. The club won fourteen consecutive division titles between nineteen ninety-one and two thousand five, one of the most sustained runs of regular-season dominance in baseball history, though the World Series rings were scarce until two thousand twenty-one, when the Braves defeated the Houston Astros for their fourth championship overall. Truist Park seats around forty-one thousand and anchors the Battery Atlanta, a mixed-use entertainment district that has become a template for the stadium-as-neighborhood model.
