The Battery

Lore & Background

On November 20, 2013, the Braves unveiled plans to build a $400 million entertainment district that would surround its new ballpark planned for Cobb County, Georgia. The district would feature a street lined with retail, restaurants, and bars leading up to the stadium. The $400 million figure often refers to the total project including public funds for the ballpark, and the ballpark itself received public financing from Cobb County bonds. On October 14, 2015, the Atlanta Braves announced that the complex would be called The Battery Atlanta. On December 10, 2014, the Braves released new renderings of the planned entertainment complex. The complex also will feature a brewpub and Braves store. The Braves named architectural design firm Wakefield Beasley & Associates as the lead designer. On March 17, 2015, the Braves announced a partnership with Comcast, under which Comcast will provide high-tech infrastructure for the ballpark and will become an anchor tenant at The Battery Atlanta. Comcast will occupy 100% of a nine-story office building. On April 28, 2015, the Braves announced a 50-50 partnership with Omni Hotels & Resorts on a luxury hotel to be built overlooking the ballpark. The full-service hotel will have 16 floors and 264 rooms. The Omni Hotel at The Battery Atlanta opened on January 3, 2018. On July 16, 2015, the Braves and concert promoter Live Nation announced a deal to develop and manage the long-planned entertainment venue adjacent to the ballpark. The venue is called the Coca-Cola Roxy. The first restaurants announced for The Battery Atlanta were Antico Pizza, Cru Food and Wine Bar, Tomahawk Taproom featuring Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q, chef Ford Fry's Superica restaurant, and a new steak concept by chef Linton Hopkins. On May 19, 2016, the Braves announced several new signed tenants including Wahlburgers, Harley-Davidson, and Goldbergs Bagel Co. & Deli. Venue developer Cordish Cos. plans a trio of concepts including a Professional Bull Riders Association Bar & Grill. On November 17, 2020, Papa John's Pizza announced its new global headquarters would be moved to Three Ballpark Center at The Battery Atlanta.

In Their Own Story

The evening air hummed with anticipation as fans spilled out from Truist Park into The Battery. Streetlights flickered on above brick walkways lined with Georgia pines, casting a warm glow on the sea of navy blue and red jerseys. Somewhere in the distance, the sound of a post-game concert drifted through open-air patios where families toasted to a victory. It was more than a stadium exit; it was the heartbeat of Atlanta's summer nights.
