Remember Turner Field, where the Atlanta Braves played for a whopping 19 years in downtown Atlanta? In 2017, the team moved northwest to SunTrust Park.
So, what did the city do with the old baseball field? It now belongs to college football. In January, Turner Field was sold to Georgia State University, along with a private development team. The first game at the stadium is Thursday night against Tennessee State.
Wait, how did they convert a baseball stadium into a football one?
The optics of Turner Field were turned a bit. Where home plate used to be is now the corner of one of the end zones.
