New Astros/Nationals Spring Training Home Set For First Game

Construction on the new Ballpark of the Palm Beaches has wrapped up just in time for Spring Training. The city of West Palm Beach "might not issue the stadium's initial certificate of occupancy" until this afternoon, "less than 24 hours" before the scheduled start of the venue's inaugural game featuring the Astros and Nationals. City inspectors "agreed to work side by side with construction crews over the weekend." The city today "should be able to issue a temporary certificate of occupancy, which will allow the stadium to open to the public" (PALM BEACH POST, 2/26).

Meanwhile, Cobb County on Friday "issued a certificate of occupancy for SunTrust Park to the Braves." This comes "more than a month ahead of the first game at the new ballpark" (AJC.com, 2/24).
