As the state of Georgia tries to return to a slight bit of normalcy, could the Atlanta Braves and Truist Park host MLB games?
Hopefully, we are nearing the end of our baseball-less drought. Just like the rest of the world, I am ready to return to normalcy.
Before we get started, I must give a fair warning that I live in Georgia and as of writing this, my state is opening up certain types of businesses and seems to try and be leading the pack of restarting that thing we all long for again…normalcy.
This will obviously not be an article about any of that though, because obviously we are not a news outlet. We come here for baseball and more particularly, Atlanta Braves baseball.
So this all got me to thinking, though, Could Truist Park and the battery become another option for Major League Baseball to try and host some actual regular season games that count?
By now, most everyone has seen the three-state plan that is currently one of reportedly many options the MLB is looking into. Texas, Arizona, and Florida would host games in what would be a mostly spring training atmosphere.
Perhaps the Atlanta Braves and Truist park could offer another alternative and it would seem a tad bit more like a regular season game.
Another quality option would be the Omni hotel that is located mere steps away from Truist Park. A few teams could stay in the hotel very easily and stay isolated enough to follow government regulations.
That does not even include the option of a ton of other hotels still within walking distance to Truist Park in the battery.
I think it would be very easy for eight or so teams to be located at this location and be able to play baseball in the Atlanta area.
One small factor for our own good may very well be in a couple months (if fans are allowed to go back to games at all this season) that most of us here within driving distance to Atlanta could go see some teams and players we otherwise would not really have a chance too.
I know seeing a fan going to a game in stadium this year may be hard for some people to see, but who knows at this point?

Personally, I think it would be kind of cool for the Atlanta Braves and Truist Park to be able to hopefully help out and host some games here before long.
