Atlanta Braves Still Mulling New Spring Options in Florida

A report in Sunday’s Sarasota Herald-Tribune indicates that there is still interest and activity going on toward getting a deal for a new Spring Complex for the Atlanta Braves in North Port (near Port Charlotte; roughly halfway between Sarasota and Ft. Myers), though progress has been slow as the team continues to weigh multiple options.

At one point, Sarasota County had envisioned a dual-team facility in which the Braves and second club would start their seasons in the midst of a planned development called ‘West Villages’, but at this point, no second club has emerged – a fact that could hurt the County’s bid.
