The future of Turner Field following the Atlanta Braves' departure has finally been determined, as the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Katie Leslie and J. Scott Trubey reported Monday the 20-year-old venue will be sold to real estate firm Carter and Georgia State University.
Monday's announcement by the Atlanta Fulton County Recreation Authority comes on the heels of a two-month bid process that left the future of the former Olympic Stadium in doubt.
Carter and Georgia State plan to restructure Turner Field into a football stadium and add student housing, apartments and retail to the area, per the AJC.
