About Stadium

An open-air ballpark located in downtown Atlanta, George and serves primarily as home field for Major League Baseball’s Atlanta Braves from the National League East.

The stadium was originally named Centennial Olympic Stadium in 1996 for the ’96 Summer Olympic Games before being named to Turner Field.

The Braves previously played at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium for the first 30 years of their existence starting in 1966.

The 2016 Season will be the last to feature the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field, as they plan to move to a new location, SunTrust Park, in Cobb County.
