Truist Park

Optimizing fan comfort and minimizing construction costs for an open-air stadium

Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves, is a 41,500-seat open-air ballpark with three decks of seating and a large shade canopy. Baseball season in Atlanta can include a wide range of weather conditions. To promote spectator comfort, the ballpark’s design needed to incorporate features like sun shades and natural ventilation appropriate to local seasonal conditions. We supported a successful project outcome with precise, well-founded recommendations to the park’s design team. We helped minimize materials and construction costs while optimizing design elements that will promote spectator comfort in the baseball seasons ahead.
