The_Admiral Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 The seating is similar, but the exteriors are pretty different. The Braves' stadium seems to be boilerplate HOK neo-retro, while Target Field has that cool stylish 1960s thing going. Target Field also has the smallest footprint of any park in the majors, if I'm not mistaken (Fenway might be smaller), which sort of necessitates the way it looks. The Barves have all the space they want. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 You're right, Target Field looks nothing like SunTrust Park. Give me a break.I'll bet they even put second plate base between first and third... just like in Target Field! Bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnclearInitial Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I'm never going to understand why American stadiums don't completely cover the fan sections, especially with what they charge to be behind home base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I'm never going to understand why American stadiums don't completely cover the fan sections, especially with what they charge to be behind home base.Well unlike football and soccer if it's raining they don't play anyways. Plus the trend in the NFL is retractable/glass roofs. Except out in Santa Clara. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music!

Sykotyk Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Are the Braves trying to see how few fans will want to attend their game. They've already done a bang-up job at Turner Field to have small crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 So is this where we look to renovate Sun Trust Park into parking lot someday? I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 This entire unnecessary stadium is offensive and puts the Braves firmly back on my Sports Hate list. What a waste of money and resources when you already have a perfectly good stadium downtown. I've been there, it's a good park. Can't wait until 2020 when the Braves decide they need a new stadium somewhere else in the Atlanta metro because this one isn't working. I wish they could pick Turner Field up and drop it in Oakland. "But traffic and it's hard to get downtown" Sounds like it's going to be hard to get to the new stadium too so that problem hasn't been solved.

The_Admiral Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I looked up SunTrust Park on Google Maps and it told me the park is located in Smyrna. I don't know whether it really is or isn't because Google Maps is being spotty on outlining city limits in Georgia, but I think it's funny because the Braves employed a clever bit of sophistry with the announcement of the new park, saying that it would "have an Atlanta address," which unless you're in the habit of writing letters to baseball parks, is irrelevant to the fact that it's clearly not in Atlanta city limits. So maybe they got a new post office? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so easy to hate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe they got a new post office? In the Baltimore area, there are many locations with Baltimore ZIP Codes that are outside of the city limits. Some are postal zones that lie both inside and outside the line. Others are nearby zones where you can apparently use either "Baltimore" or a different name for the location (ex., 21220 is Middle River or Baltimore, 21221 is Essex or Baltimore). Basically, any ZIP Code starting with 212 is/can be considered a "Baltimore" ZIP Code even if is completely outside the city (though 21220 and 21221 are the only ones I can think of where people regularly use the "Baltimore" label). That may be what is going on in this instance. The area near the 75-285 interchange has a ZIP Code of 30339. The ZIP Codes within Atlanta are all start with 303. http://www.zipmap.net/Georgia.htm Most Liked Content of the Day -- February 15, 2017, August 21, 2017, August 22, 2017 ///// Proud Winner of the CCSLC Post of the Day Award -- April 8, 2008 Originator of the Upside Down Sarcasm Smilie -- November 1, 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing Atlanta and their stadium history I wouldn't be surprised. Out of the 5 stadiums that they've had/have, not one has made it past 30 years, and I'd honestly be surprised if Phillips Arena did because they've finally realized how stupid it was to put all of their suites on one side.

So maybe they got a new post office? The city of Atlanta doesn't think it's in Atlanta, so I think you're right. http://gis.atlantaga.gov/apps/most/ The 30339 ZIP code doesn't seem to go into Atlanta at all, so I'm guessing it was a big hunk of nothing when they first assigned it a ZIP (maybe it still is). Why not add it into Atlanta? There's a village called Williamsville near me; its ZIP code is only about 25% in the village, but all of the farmland-turned-suburbia around the village is still normally called "Williamsville" because of the postal code. Kudos to the Braves for even thinking of such flowery BS to feed people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
