Braves, Marlins to play at Fort Bragg on July 3

In a unique event over Independence Day Weekend, the Braves and Marlins will pay tribute to the nation's military servicemen and servicewomen by playing a regular-season game at Fort Bragg, the North Carolina military base that is the most populated installation in the United States.

The first professional contest to be played on an active military base, the Fort Bragg Game is slated for 8 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 3, at a newly constructed 12,500-capacity ballpark, Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association jointly announced Tuesday. The game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball, ESPN Radio and MLB.
