Turner Field was first presented to the world as Centennial Olympic Stadium, the crowned jewel of Atlanta’s campus for the 1996 Games. It would go on to serve as a location for major films such as Flight, The Change-Up, and the Clint Eastwood anti-computer vehicle Trouble with the Curve, in which Eastwood posits that he, as a blind man, could serve as a more effective baseball scout than any machine.
But following the Olympics, rather than letting it become a haunted, derelict structure as so many Olympic facilities do once the events have concluded, the Braves moved in, making it a slightly less unpleasant place than it could have been.
