The Atlanta Braves said they’ll build a new stadium in a suburban area northwest of downtown Atlanta, with the opening set for the 2017 Major League Baseball season.
With the Braves’ lease at 17-year-old Turner Field expiring in 2016, the team estimated that its new ballpark will cost $672 million, executives said today at a news briefing in Atlanta. The Braves will be a significant investor along with Cobb County, Georgia, and the club will cover any cost overruns, the team said.
