ATLANTA -- Major League Baseball Commissioner-elect Rob Manfred and
Hank Aaron were among the many dignitaries who flocked to Cobb County on
Tuesday morning to be part of what Braves CEO and chairman Terry McGuirk
described as one of the most important days in the franchise's history.
They all gathered for the groundbreaking of SunTrust Park, a state-of-the-art
stadium that will open before the 2017 season.
"A groundbreaking is a beginning," McGuirk said. "In two years, we'll
transform this bare patch of dirt from what it is today into a magnificent
ballpark and a majestic ballpark village."
While the ceremonial breaking of the ground with shovels stood as the basis
of the event, the highlight occurred during the early portion of the
ceremonies, when McGuirk revealed that SunTrust Bank would serve as the
naming rights partner for the stadium.
"We are extremely proud to be affiliated with a world-class franchise with
tremendous business potential and incredibly loyal fans," SunTrust chairman
and CEO William Rogers said.
The ceremony was held inside a tent that was positioned on a plot of dirt
that will soon serve as the new stadium's center-field area. Around the
open-air, 41,500-seat ballpark will be a mixed-use village that will include
restaurants, hotels, office space and residential opportunities.
With this mixed-use development, the Braves are hoping to gain year-round
revenues that will continue to assist them in their efforts to construct
championship-caliber rosters on a consistent basis.
"The feel of this new ballpark will foster a one-of-a-kind experience
unrivaled in all of baseball," club president John Schuerholz said.
Manfred said the vision of this facility is another example of the business
excellence the Braves have shown over the years.
"The Braves have always had great leaders, from [past owners] Bill
Bartholomay to Ted Turner, to Terry McGuirk and John Schuerholz," Manfred said
. "The Braves truly have been blessed with business acumen and vision.
"Today, here in Cobb County, there is a new history of the Braves being
launched. The state-of-the-art facility that will be built here will be
essential to the Braves continuing their great winning tradition, and this
project is an example of the kind of vision the Braves have always shown.
"No club in Major League Baseball has ever undertaken to building a facility
and a stadium that is as fully integrated with a mixed-use project as this
one. It will provide a unique experience for the fans of the Braves."
While the day was certainly special for McGuirk and Schuerholz, who have long
beamed when speaking about the new stadium and mixed-use development that
will attempt to attract consumers 365 days a year, this event was truly a
celebration for Braves executive vice president Mike Plant, who spearheaded
the initiative.
As far back as 2005, Plant had visions of building a mixed-use facility
around Turner Field. But when it became apparent that he would not be able
to complete this project, he set out looking for alternatives, and he found
what he was seeking in Cobb County.
"This is going to be a legacy transformation and a generational impact
throughout the whole Southeast," Plant said. "I think we're going to set an
example for sports teams well into the future. I feel proud that I helped get
it going in the beginning and have a pretty significant role moving forward
working with our whole team.
"We've got a lot of good people working on this. I think we all understand
the significant impact this is going to have not only on this region, but
the whole sports legacy."

其實最近這十幾年有很多新球場落成
洛杉磯那兩座球場歷史也很久了,皇家隊的主場也是
紅襪的話可能要在波士頓找一塊地來蓋芬威球場的復刻版
