Suntrust Park may suit it because it looks about as bland as the waiting area of a local Suntrust branch. Then again it is in Cobb County so maybe plain and corporate suits it.
I agree. It's cookie cutter. They didn't take any risks in the design or features. Kind of like the ted now, very basic. Look at the stadiums that have been built in the last 10-15 years: PNC Park, Pac Bell or whatever it's called now, Citi Field, etc.. all have something somewhat unique about them. This is just same old boring shite.

Considering the debt involved I think a bank is very appropriate.

It should be a retractable teepee. They are missing out on a great opportunity.

This is the kind of shite we need. Really rub it in the faces of the PC crowd.

Great idea....they could also bring back Chief Knockahoma...
....but instead of a tomahawk he can run around with pre-approved credit cards and 0% loans on overpriced houses.

Why do you hate corporate America? 
Stadium looks fine to me and a much better situation vs downtown Atlanta.

There isn't a single damn homage to the South, to the state of Georgia. Hell, the only thing truly Atlanta about the whole thing is the giant as rotating "A" they've got on some architecturally pointless column-shaped building. This thing is really underwhelming.

Don't get me wrong, it's not an abortion of ugliness. It's just so... boring. Remove all the Braves logos and there's no way in hell I could identify it as being in Atlanta. Or Georgia. Or even in the Southern United States. I was hoping for a bit more personality than this.

And at leas with turner field there's an awesome view of the skyline. This shite is booooring.

I think that's what it's missing. It's completely removed from the team's namesake. The only thing Atlanta about this location is going to be the otherworldly traffic that folks will sit in at the 75-285 interchange before first pitch.

Have to say The Ted looks nicer. Wonder if the muggers will follow.

Yea, it isn't exciting but the only reason I am excited for it is getting it out of that shite hole and for the added revenue.
And for those who rather have Coke or Home Depot or whatever...here's the thing: They have more than enough exposure in Atlanta and pretty much the nation. Why would they need to drop a chunk of change into a stadium name? Suntrust is meh but I was hearing shite way worse like some Japanese firms.

meh..it aint that bad...im just pissed that they are moving to Cobb county...frick that place...it might be safer...but it sure as hell aint better....i miss FCS....saw lots of games there with my dad... 
...adn i agree with the skyline thing...being able to see the sun shining off the capital on a clear day...it made you proud of where you were from...i go to liek 1 game a year now...will probably go to like...none after this gets built...not cause of its apperance or sponsor...but because of where it is...

What features do each of these stadiums have that are unique or highlight something from their city/region? Serious question because I don’t know besides AT&T having McCovey Cove and a giant baseball glove in LF.
