As first reported by the Marietta Daily Journal, the Atlanta Braves will announce their intention to leave the 16-year-old Turner Field for a new stadium in Cobb County, Georgia, when their stadium lease expires after the 2016 season.

(The Atlanta Journal-Constitution just confirmed the report. The announcement was made this morning by Braves officials, including team president John Schuerholz.)

According to the Daily Journal, the new stadium would be completed by 2017, and would be built near the intersection of I-75 and 285. That would put it in Cumberland, closer to Marietta than to Atlanta.

Turner Field is what remains of the Olympic Stadium built for the 1996 Atlanta games. It was converted into a baseball stadium, opened for the 1997 season, and is somehow already the 17th-oldest ballpark in MLB.

Haha.  Even fewer necks will show up out there.

Yeah they really need a new stadium!

But hey look on the bright side - they can put 13k seats in there so they can have a sellout...maybe

this actually will increase attendance

no one lives in atlanta expect for poor blacks....most people live in the burbs and this is where the stadium is going.

[PhillyPhreak54]

that is great

[SunMo]

the only reference I didn't get was the trash cans

[PhillyPhreak54]

From the STL playoff game when they pelted the field with all the garbage....

[SunMo]

no it won't.

[Rome]

Cobb County is one of the richest counties in the country, so theoretically it should but the same lame asses who don't go to Atlanta won't go there either.

[smeags]

exactly, the issue is the lame ass fanbase not the location of the stadium.
