what's the name of the atlanta braves new stadium
SunTrust Park SunTrust Park is a baseball park located in the Atlanta metropolitan area 10 miles (16Â km) northwest of downtown Atlanta in the Cumberland neighborhood of Cobb County. It is the home ballpark for the Atlanta Braves, the city's Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise. On November 11, 2013, the Braves announced that the franchise would leave Turner Field for a new park after the 2016 season.[14] The Braves have played their home games at SunTrust Park since April 2017.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium On March 7, 2013, the Atlanta Falcons and the city of Atlanta agreed to build the new downtown stadium. The maximum public contribution for the project is $200 million, coming from the hotel-motel tax in Atlanta and unincorporated Fulton County. The Atlanta City Council officially approved the stadium on March 19, 2013. The council voted, 11â€“4, in favor of the use of city hotel-motel taxes to pay $200 million toward construction costs and potentially several times that toward costs of financing, maintaining and operating the stadium through 2050.[35] On May 21, 2013, the NFL approved a $200 million loan to the Falcons organization for the purpose of building the stadium.[36]
