It's a ploy to see how fast Elly De La Cruz can run around a NASCAR track.

I'm so damn excited. I don't care what the tickets run, I'll make the relatively short drive from Lexington to go watch the Reds play there.

If the Braves are that interested in playing in a poorly-attended cavern, they should just play a game at Turner Field again

Why would the tickets be expensive? It's a huge stadium with terrible views. It's just a gimmick to see how many people they can get to attend a baseball game.

I see no reason they shouldn't make this a twofer. A baseball game with a nascar race around the track.

Although not as popular as Truist,the Braves never drew less than 2 million and had several seasons drawing 3 million+.

If you really wanted to see a poorly attended cavern that would be old Fulton County in the 80's

Make one of the turns in play. Like Tal's Hill, with the added risk of getting hit by a car.

They should have got the A's and the Marlins to play and see what the attendance would be

If they wanted to be really inventive they’d figure out a way to play two games in the stadium at once

Any renderings of how the hell they are going to fit a baseball fields dimensions in there?

With the exception of it was in the ghetto, had literally 1 bar within walking distance, required you to risk you life walking Underground or catching a bus transfer from MARTA…sure.

The speculation is it will be August 1st. Both teams have July 31st off before the start of a three game set in Cincinnati and could easily travel there.

Might as well since NASCAR can't sell the stadium out anymore.
