ATLANTA — The Braves' new ballpark looks like a throwback stadium with its green seats, brick walls and its old-school, intimate feel.

That's from an initial glance inside the park.

Beyond the stadium walls sits the real wow factor that could be a game-changer for the industry.

Atlanta's new SunTrust Park is part of a 60-acre complex that will include restaurants, retail shops, residential areas, a four-star hotel and a concert hall. The $622 million ballpark is the main attraction, but it is only part of what the Braves are promoting as "the South's preeminent lifestyle destination" — The Battery Atlanta.
