Company
The Atlanta Braves
Company Description
The Braves opened Truist Park on April 14, 2017 (replacing Turner Field as their home stadium), with a four-game sweep of the San Diego Padres.[109] The park received positive reviews. Woody Studenmund of the Hardball Times called the park a “gem” saying that he was impressed with “the compact beauty of the stadium and its exciting approach to combining baseball, business and social activities.”[110] J.J. Cooper of Baseball America praised the “excellent sight lines for pretty much every seat.”
In addition to having strong fan support in the Atlanta metropolitan area and the state of Georgia, the Braves are often referred to as “America’s Team” in reference to the team’s games being broadcast nationally on TBS from the 1970s until 2007, giving the team a nationwide fan base.
