A new stadium and new start times for the Atlanta Braves, as they announced Wednesday that all weekday evening homes games will begin at 7:30 p.m. to improve fans travel experience.
The decision was made after a comprehensive traffic data study by Kimley-Horn showed that the majority of traffic clears out by 7 p.m.
“We recognize that traffic in the Atlanta area is an issue, and certainly has been a key frustration at Turner Field before and after ball games,” said Mike Plant, Braves president, development. “But the combination of tremendous infrastructure improvements, 360-degree access to the ballpark, pre- and post-game activities at The Battery Atlanta, and our new start time will make travel to and from SunTrust Park a better experience for our fans.”
The Braves also launched a Web site that details infrastructure improvements around the SunTrust Park area, and plans for easing congestion to the stadium and the mixed-us development. It includes 14 primary access points compared to two at Turner Field, 360-degree parking surrounding the ballpark, three pedestrian bridges and more total parking.
“At SunTrust Park, we will be closer to the majority of our fans and benefit from the multitude of transportation enhancements, many that were already underway or planned for the area,” Plant said. “These improvements are going to make traveling to the ballpark a much more enjoyable experience for the majority of Braves Country.”
