Five things we learned this week about SunTrust Park, the Braves’ new Cobb County stadium that will open next year:
1. SunTrust Park architect Earl Santee predicted the stadium will feel “twice as intimate as Turner Field.” That is in part the result of having almost 10,000 fewer seats and in part because of the design, said Santee, a principal at Kansas City-based architecture firm Populous. Many seats will be 30 to 50 feet closer to the field than corresponding seats at Turner Field, he said. Click here for full story on the first detailed look inside the stadium.
