OLDCASTLE PRODUCTS DELIVER DESIGN AND INNOVATION TO ATLANTA'S SUNTRUST PARK BASEBALL STADIUM

Construction site with crane lifting concrete and workers walking

Oldcastle Architectural, Oldcastle Precast, and Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope® all contributed to the project. The design of SunTrust Park centers around the use of brick and precast stone, both of which give the stadium a timeless look that fits in with similar popular patterns in the southeast.
SunTrust Park is one of the largest stadiums in the United States.
Turner Field, which was the Atlanta Braves home for nearly 20 years and host to the 1996 Olympics, was relatively new at just 20 years of age. However, it would require nearly $350 million for renovations and fan improvements if the the Braves decided to maintain their lease. They started a new chapter in 2017 as they officially moved from Turner Field to the newly constructed park.
