WELCOME, Y'ALL!

The Atlanta Braves open their new SunTrust Park, hosting San Diego at night. A sellout crowd of about 41,000 is expected to see the stadium that replaced Turner Field, the Braves' home for the past 20 years. This will be the first real test of the suburban park's ability to accommodate Atlanta's notoriously tough traffic - the issue was complicated by a fire under an overpass that has shut down a section of I-85, one of the major interstates in the city, for several weeks.
