NEW YORK (AP) — The Atlanta Braves are scheduled to open SunTrust Park on April 13 against the San Diego Padres, according to a copy of the team's preliminary schedule obtained by The Associated Press.
The 2017 schedule, which is tentative and subject to change, has the Braves opening the season with a three-game series at the New York Mets on April 3, then going to the Pittsburgh Pirates for a three-game series. Atlanta also has a two-game series at the Miami Marlins before heading home for the Thursday opener against the Padres, the start of a four-game series.
Teams opening new ballparks often host exhibition games at the new stadiums before opening day, and it is possible the Braves could schedule some at SunTrust ahead of the regular season.
Braves officials declined comment on the schedule, since it is not yet official.
"It might be more real when the year is over and you start to look forward to everything and start processing things for the new year. You get going and get excited to start a new year." Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said Wednesday.
Atlanta is in its 20th and final season at Turner Field, which was built for the 1996 Olympics and then converted for baseball use. Plans for the new ballpark, in a northwest suburb, were announced in November 2013.

about 500 yards outside the perimeter.
I guess it technically is in a suburb, but the way Atlanta has grown, it's practically in town.
I was over there yesterday. Traffic was a cluster at 1130 in the morning. Hopefully they can get the highway work done by next April.
Not being an engineer, I can't predict how long that sort of thing takes, but it looked like longer than 10 months to me.

I wouldn't want to go on Opening Day. I feel like it is going to be a total clusterfrick with traffic at first.

I am excited. I wonder who our new GM will be?

Hoping to move back to Atlanta in September. Acworth anyway. Looking forward to going to games on a regular basis again. It's going to be a clusterfrick there though.

Does anyone know how the public transit to the game works now? In the past id take it to west end and then the shuttle

WTF they couldn't even give them an opening day home game?

Meanwhile, the new Falcons stadium has already been delayed twice and will cost 50% more than what they said. And people wonder why the Braves left downtown...
