[sturg33]

I like the name

 

[Hawk]

Sigh.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I actually love this. Agree or disagree, this looks amazing.

Going to be a lot of interesting aspects to the stadium. Taller wall in right field. Trees in center field. 4 story Chophouse.

Are we that much of a corporate sellout that we can't name after it Hank Aaron? Bobby?

Seriously? You're just looking for stuff to bitch about now.

Do you want a bigger payroll? Or do you want Bobby Cox stadium?

 

[bravesnumberone]

We're not getting a bigger payroll.

 

[bravesnumberone]

It's going to look very nice, though.

 

[rico43]

We're not getting a bigger payroll.

You already have. Where do you think all the multi-year deals came from?

We're owned by a giant corporation, so, kinda by definition, yes.

Also, if Bobby or Hank wrote Liberty an eight-figure check, I'm sure they'd be glad to name the stadium after one of them.

I'll await for the team to go out and sign real impact players and have the ability to acquire difference makers in July.

 

[Hudson2]

That looks awesome!

 

[CyYoung31]

Is it just me, or is this pretty much the exact same ballpark that we have now?

 

[goldfly]

can't wait to go to "The Bank"

 

[BravesBlock]

Waiting for the "STP" images to be posted.

 

[Gary82]

more like untrust park amirite?

 

[jason27nc]

I thought the big announcement was that we had fired Fredi. SMH.

Just an observation about the pictures of the stadium I have seen. It is not much for an architectural statement. It is pretty boring if you ask me. It looks partly TED partly something else, what that is I do not know, but there is nothing special in anything I have seen picture wise. I love Pittsburgh's park, the view is just awesome, this has none of that. There is nothing within the stadium that has a feature like many other stadiums do. The only good thing I see is it appears this time they will have lighting other than just the outfield.
