Braves Move Weeknight Start Times To 7:30pm At SunTrust Park

The Braves will "move the starting time of their weeknight home games" to 7:30pm ET next season at SunTrust Park. The start times were pushed back from 7:10pm for all Monday-Thursday night games this season at Turner Field in a move "intended to alleviate rush-hour traffic issues." The team "didn’t announce any changes on game times at the new stadium for weekend series" (AJC.com, 8/3).

Also today, the Braves launched a new website at BravesUpdate.com to "detail the infrastructure improvements and plans for easing congestion and enabling easy access to the new ballpark and mixed-use development" (BIZJOURNALS.com, 8/3).
