The ballpark features an expanded protection from foul balls.
The protective netting extends from behind home plate to the far end of both dugouts at Truist Park.
Although longer, Truist Park's protective netting isn't quite as high as Turner Field's.
The screen is 31 ¹⁄₂ feet (9.6 m) high, compared to 35 feet (11 m) high at the former stadium.
Derek Schiller attributed that difference to the geometry of ballpark and where the cables that hold up the screen are secured to stadium structures.
From directly behind home plate, the screen extends 145 feet (44 m) down the third-base line and 149 feet (45 m) down the first-base line, according to Braves field director Ed Mangan.
Schiller said innovations have made protective screens "thinner but in fact stronger," meaning "we're getting the ability to cover the most number of seats with the least view issues as possible."
