Two months after the selective demolition of parts of the 98-year-old Golden Park began, officials and fans gathered Tuesday at the historic stadium for the ceremonial groundbreaking to celebrate the next step in the $50 million renovation that will bring professional baseball back to Columbus for the first time in 17 years.
But when the Atlanta Braves move their Double-A affiliate from Mississippi to Columbus for the 2025 season, the stadium won’t be named Golden Park.
It will be Synovus Park instead.
Synovus, the Columbus-based banking and financial services company, has bought the naming rights for the city-owned baseball stadium.
