Former Site of the Stadium where Home-Run King Hank Aaron played for the Atlanta Braves and hit his 715th homerun, breaking Babe Ruths record of old. It is now a parking lot with a replica of the baselines painted on the asphalt.

Original home of the Atlanta Braves and Atlanta Falcons. Torn down after the building of Turner Field and the 1996 Olympics. Foot print preserved in the parking lot of Turner Field.

  • How could they turn a site of such importance into a Parking lot? How could they knock it down? It's horrible.
