[情報] 勇士隊新主場開工

[colin79813 (kjam)]

ATLANTA -- Major League Baseball Commissioner-elect Rob Manfred and

Hank Aaron were among the many dignitaries who flocked to Cobb County on

Tuesday morning to be part of what Braves CEO and chairman Terry McGuirk

described as one of the most important days in the franchise's history.

They all gathered for the groundbreaking of SunTrust Park, a state-of-the-art

stadium that will open before the 2017 season.

"A groundbreaking is a beginning," McGuirk said. "In two years, we'll

transform this bare patch of dirt from what it is today into a magnificent

ballpark and a majestic ballpark village."

While the ceremonial breaking of the ground with shovels stood as the basis

of the event, the highlight occurred during the early portion of the

ceremonies, when McGuirk revealed that SunTrust Bank would serve as the

naming rights partner for the stadium.

"We are extremely proud to be affiliated with a world-class franchise with

tremendous business potential and incredibly loyal fans," SunTrust chairman

and CEO William Rogers said.

The ceremony was held inside a tent that was positioned on a plot of dirt

that will soon serve as the new stadium's center-field area. Around the

open-air, 41,500-seat ballpark will be a mixed-use village that will include

restaurants, hotels, office space and residential opportunities.

With this mixed-use development, the Braves are hoping to gain year-round

revenues that will continue to assist them in their efforts to construct

championship-caliber rosters on a consistent basis.

"The feel of this new ballpark will foster a one-of-a-kind experience

unrivaled in all of baseball," club president John Schuerholz said.

Manfred said the vision of this facility is another example of the business

excellence the Braves have shown over the years.

"The Braves have always had great leaders, from [past owners] Bill

Bartholomay to Ted Turner, to Terry McGuirk and John Schuerholz," Manfred said

. "The Braves truly have been blessed with business acumen and vision.

"Today, here in Cobb County, there is a new history of the Braves being

launched. The state-of-the-art facility that will be built here will be

essential to the Braves continuing their great winning tradition, and this

project is an example of the kind of vision the Braves have always shown.

"No club in Major League Baseball has ever undertaken to building a facility

and a stadium that is as fully integrated with a mixed-use project as this

one. It will provide a unique experience for the fans of the Braves."

While the day was certainly special for McGuirk and Schuerholz, who have long

beamed when speaking about the new stadium and mixed-use development that

will attempt to attract consumers 365 days a year, this event was truly a

celebration for Braves executive vice president Mike Plant, who spearheaded

the initiative.

As far back as 2005, Plant had visions of building a mixed-use facility

around Turner Field. But when it became apparent that he would not be able

to complete this project, he set out looking for alternatives, and he found

what he was seeking in Cobb County.

"This is going to be a legacy transformation and a generational impact

throughout the whole Southeast," Plant said. "I think we're going to set an

example for sports teams well into the future. I feel proud that I helped get

it going in the beginning and have a pretty significant role moving forward

working with our whole team.

"We've got a lot of good people working on this. I think we all understand

the significant impact this is going to have not only on this region, but

the whole sports legacy."

其實最近這十幾年有很多新球場落成

洛杉磯那兩座球場歷史也很久了，皇家隊的主場也是


紅襪的話可能要在波士頓找一塊地來蓋芬威球場的復刻版
