The Atlanta Braves want to zip you around SunTrust Park.
The team is planning on building a zip line into their new stadium in an attempt to add family-friendly entertainment to the facility.
"We are very family friendly, and that is a significant portion of our audience," Braves executive vice president of sales and marketing Derek Schiller said at a conference Friday, according to Douglas Sams of the Atlanta Business Journal.
According to the team, the zip line is expected to run behind the stadium's video board and serve as a form of transportation between both ends of the concourse.
SunTrust Park, which will be the Braves' third home since moving to Atlanta in 1966, is set to open for the 2018 season.
