The Atlanta Business Chronicle had a writeup about the new Georgia State baseball stadium this week. The school has filed for a construction permit.
For those wondering where it will be, it's going to sit on the site of the old Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium where the Braves played until 1997. Some other takeaways from the article (since it ain't cheap to access articles on the ABC website): the stadium will have a capacity of 1,000 and will cost $15.9 million. It will be located next to Georgia State's football stadium (the former Turner Field) and the Georgia State Convocation Center, where their basketball teams play. Construction is expected to take at least 16 months to complete so they almost certainly won't make their target of having it ready for the 2026 season.
The old left field wall from the old Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium that has remained for decades to mark where Hank Aaron hit his 715th Home Run is expected to remain.
A 900-spot parking deck is being built on Fulton Street, I believe behind the Convocation Center
Georgia State is expected to move the Turner Field Hank Aaron statue, which currently sites at their football stadium (the city refused to let the Braves take it when they moved to Truist Park) will be moved to the new Georgia State baseball stadium.
