ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves have released renderings of their new stadium in suburban Cobb County, which will seat 41,500 and include plenty of revenue-generating amenities around the ballpark. The Braves say the proposed stadium will be the hub of a "play, work, stay" destination that includes shops, restaurants and entertainment venues, as well as a boutique hotel, office space and approximately 500 residences. The county is set to contribute $368 million toward the cost of the $672 million project, with the team providing the remainder of the funding.
