Study finds Cobb residents are paying $15 million dollars to run Truist Park home of Atlanta Braves

ATLANTA, Ga. (CBS46) - It’s been five years since the Braves landed in Cobb County and are the current World Champs.

A new study from a Kennesaw State University Economics professor shows while everyone in the state is still basking in the Braves world series glory, the promised economic boom to the county the stadium would bring is more like a foul ball than a homerun.

“What I’ve tried to do is do a comprehensive look at revenues that have come into Truist Park and what return the county is getting,” said J.C. Bradbury, a Professor of Economics at Kennesaw State University.
