SunTrust Park Filled With Tech For Atlanta Braves Fans, Offering Something For Everyone

ATLANTA — SunTrust Park hosted its first regular season game to a sold-out crowd of more than 41,000 as the Atlanta Braves beat the San Diego Padres 5-2. Modern amenities and intimate sight lines accentuate massive concourses and exposed brick, culminating in a retro-modern aesthetic made popular after Camden Yards opened in 1992.

“The Braves being the oldest continuously run franchise in baseball, they said, ‘You know what, we’re a franchise with history, we have a lot of tradition, so something too modern wouldn’t feel right for us,'” said Zach Allee, senior associate at Populous, the architecture firm hired to design the stadium.
