Turner Field, Atlanta Georgia

The team will start playing at a brand new stadium next spring. SunTrust Park is the name of the new field. It is located in Cobb County, Georgia which, is twelve miles away from Turner Field.

SunTrust Park will offer more to fans than just a place to watch the Braves play. It will also have a hotel, restaurants and shopping.

Braves fan, Ryan Veasey, is excited for the move to the new field. He says, "Hopefully we can start winning more games and start the next season off on the right foot."
