Farewell to the Ted: Braves end 20-year run at Turner Field (The Associated Press)

ATLANTA (AP) -- Turner Field has aged well. It's got all the expected amenities of a modern big league ballpark, from luxury boxes to a mammoth video board to the restaurant that hovers above right field to concession stands selling all manner of food and drink.

Want a gourmet steak sandwich? Step right up. Craft beer? No problem. Hash browns from local favorite Waffle House? Make 'em scattered and smothered.

Of course, at 20 years old, it's not exactly a baseball relic.

But its time in the big leagues is over.

The Braves are heading to the suburbs next season, trading the ballpark affectionately known as ''the Ted'' - a nod to former owner and namesake Ted Turner - for 41,500-seat SunTrust Park , hastily being assembled some 15 miles away as part of a mall-like complex that will generate even more money for the team.
