SunTrust Park is scheduled to open in 2017 and the club recently released some new renderings of the stadium.
The Braves are also paying for a development around the new ballpark for some $400 million in restaurants, shops and hotels.
But there’s just one little, teensy, weensy problem.
In the rendering, on the big scoreboard located in the lower left corner of the image, the Braves are losing.
The scoreboard shows the Braves trailing the Washington Nationals 6-3 either in the bottom of the seventh or after seven innings.
So the architectural firm Populous could best be chastised thusly: YOU HAD ONE JOB!
With the ability to create a perfect world in which anything is possible, the artist who drew the rendering had the team losing.
One. Freaking. Job.
Maybe the hope was that being where it is tucked away, no one would notice.
Guess what????? We noticed!!!!!
A $672 million stadium–$400 million of which is being paid for by the taxpayers—and you can’t even have the team winning?
That is just so … wow.
