Braves release photos of new stadium construction
The Atlanta Braves may be struggling to begin the year, so maybe a new home stadium is exactly what they'll need to turn things around in 2017.
SunTrust Park will be the new home of the Braves next season and on Thursday, the franchise decided to give fans a sneak peak of the under-construction stadium that will house the chop for the foreseeable future:

The Braves have made Turner Field their home since 1997, but did most of their damage at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium during a dominating era in the 1990s.
