FORT BRAGG (CBSMiami/SportsDirect) – You can’t do much better on July 4th weekend.
Regardless of the results of Sunday’s series finale between the Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves, the contest will be an unforgettable experience as the two teams meet at Fort Bragg, N.C. for the first major-league regular-season game played on an active U.S. military base.
The contest will be held at Fort Bragg Field, constructed in four months on an old golf course with a seating capacity of 12,500.
The military personnel who fill those seats will see Atlanta attempt to win the series, after the Braves won for the 10th time in 17 games in Saturday’s 9-1 rout at home.
