SunTrust Park Opening Day 2017.jpg Truist Park is a major league baseball stadium that serves as the home of the Atlanta Braves. Located in a portion of Cobb County with an Atlanta mailing address, the ballpark replaced the club's previous downtown venue and sits beside a large mixed-use development. It is primarily used for games played by the Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball, but it also hosts concerts, community events and private gatherings.

Location, layout and capacity

The stadium was built on the outskirts of the Atlanta metropolitan area to provide a modern spectator experience and to anchor surrounding commercial and entertainment spaces. Its design emphasizes a bowl of seating that places fans close to the playing field while offering multiple tiers of seating, premium suites, and open concourses that promote movement and sightlines. The ballpark has seating for roughly forty thousand fans, supplemented by standing-room areas and club-level accommodations, with a mix of general admission, reserved, and premium options.

History and naming

Planning for the new park began after the Braves decided to leave their former downtown stadium. Construction and delivery occurred in the mid‑2010s, with the venue opening for the 2017 season. During the planning phase the stadium carried a corporate name after the Braves reached a naming-rights agreement with a regional bank; it opened as SunTrust Park. When SunTrust merged with another bank, BB&T, the combined company adopted the new corporate identity Truist. The stadium's signage and branding were updated and the Truist Park name became official in January 2020.

Features, adjacent development and uses

Beyond the playing surface, the ballpark is integrated with an adjacent mixed‑use neighborhood that includes restaurants, shops, office space and entertainment venues. This district provides year‑round foot traffic and amenities for visitors before and after events. Inside the stadium, common features include diverse concession offerings, party suites, club lounges, team stores, and plazas that host fan activities. The facility is also configured to accommodate non‑baseball events such as live music, corporate functions and community gatherings.

Access, transportation and sustainability

The site was chosen for its regional highway access and available land, and it is served by major roadways and local shuttle or transit options on game days. Parking is provided in multiple lots and decks integrated with the surrounding development. The venue's operators have emphasized crowd management and pedestrian connections between the ballpark and the adjacent commercial district to encourage walking and to reduce congestion at ingress and egress.

Notable facts and distinctions

  • The park serves as the Braves' primary home after the club's move from its previous facility.
  • Its name reflects corporate naming rights that changed following a major banking merger; the change from SunTrust Park to Truist Park was implemented in early 2020.
  • The stadium is part of a larger trend of modern ballparks paired with mixed‑use developments designed to create year‑round destinations rather than single‑purpose venues.
