Truist Park is a baseball stadium in Cobb County, Georgia, about 10 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta. Since 2017, it has served as the Major League Baseball home of the Atlanta Braves.
In 2020, the ballpark was renamed Truist Financial after a bank merger between BB&T Corporation and SunTrust Banks.
The stadium was built as a public-private partnership with a $622 million total budget. For the renovation, the Cobb-Marietta Coliseum & Exhibit Hall Authority issued bonds worth up to $397 million. The county also received $14 million in transportation taxes and $10 million in cash from Cumberland Community Improvement District firms.
The Braves chipped in the rest of the funding for the park and The Battery Atlanta. In March 2015, the Braves’ owners, Liberty Media, filed a security filing allocating $672 million for Truist Park and $452 million for The Battery Atlanta, for a total cost of more than $1.1 billion. The Braves will invest $181 million over the next 30 years to help the county pay off the project’s bonds.
On March 31, 2017, during a preseason game against the New York Yankees, the Braves held a soft opening for season ticket holders. On April 14, 2017, the park hosted its first regular-season game against the San Diego Padres.
