New Renderings

Welcome to corporate blandness, guys. A giant bank bought our naming rights and the stadium looks like every cookie cutter condominium complex found along the 400 corridor.

Maybe Ikea will take over the naming rights to the 755 Club

I don't care. It gets the Bravos more mulah to spend on a lineup that loves strikeouts.

That depends: how likely are you to buy a t-shirt with that slogan printed on it? If it doesn't appeal to you, we have some old "This is Braves Country" merchandise we can bring back out. Or you can even take a look at some "This is why we Chop" relics from last year.

A corporate team run by a corporate conglomerate that counts the Braves as just another business investment. I miss Ted Turner.

The stadium itself looks pretty boring to me.

I mean, this isn't just Atlanta. It's the nature of the beast now. Jerry Jones started it and you best get with it if ya wish to keep up with the joneses.

As long as they're still on TV this is a non-issue for me.

That sucks. Would've rather had Coke, or the people's democratic republic of the Atlanta braves with a towering picture of Kim il sung.

The only redeeming quality this can have is if they give ya boi free parking since I use Suntrust. Probably not.

They should be happy anyone wants their name associated with them at the moment.

Some of you young bucks truly missed out on a magical time, especially that '91 Season.....worst to first baby. Atlanta was on fire for the first time since Sherman went through. That '91 WS was probably the best played I've ever seen regardless of the outcome.

I mean, the new Sphincter Dome has more personality than this thing. Plain walls. Plain brick facade. Plain Wrigley Field Ivey. Plain chophouse. Plain scoreboard. Plain architecture. Plain multipurpose complex next to a plain water feature. There's just nothing overly exciting about it. 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.

Yeah I mean if it's gonna be something super corporate I'd at least rather it be something that screams Atlanta like coke or delta or some shite. Suntrust? Yawn.

Plus, Coke advertising is pretty creative. There could be some neat features to a Coke stadium.

We can probably afford an extension for B.J. now.

Braves have been in several good ones. Braves/Blue Jays was classic. 3-4 games went into extra innings. The first baseman, Kent Hrbek, pulled one of our runners legs off 1st base and they called him out.


Of course, Braves/Indians was classic mainly cause we won that one.
