Truist Park outside Atlanta in Cobb County is the home of the Braves, built as the centerpiece of The Battery Atlanta, a mixed-use entertainment district of restaurants, bars, shops, and residences that surrounds the ballpark on every side. Unlike most modern parks built downtown, Truist Park was designed with the neighborhood built around it from scratch, so gameday spills seamlessly into the district before first pitch and long after the final out. The layout gives fans sweeping views and a suburban, festival-like atmosphere distinct from Atlanta's older downtown stadiums. It has quickly become one of the most walkable, destination-style ballparks in the majors.
Truist Park opened in 2017, replacing Turner Field as the Braves' home after just two decades of use there. It hosted Games 3, 4, and 5 of the 2021 World Series, the first Fall Classic games ever played at the ballpark, as the Braves went on to win their first championship since 1995. The Battery Atlanta development built around the stadium has been held up as a model for the modern ballpark-village approach to stadium construction, blending real estate development with the team's home venue. Its quick jump to hosting a championship just four years after opening cemented it fast as a meaningful part of Braves history.
