From the early stages of construction until opening night, a time-lapse video has been created documenting the building of SunTrust Park.

More than two years of construction of the new Braves stadium is boiled down to just 90 seconds, using EarthCam’s live streaming video and “billion pixel panorama time-lapse webcam.”

Take a look, from foundation to completion, February 2015 to April 2017, courtesy of EarthCam.

The Braves began their second homestand at SunTrust Park on Monday night, losing 7-5 to the New York Mets. The seven-game stand continues with three more games against the Mets and a weekend series against the St. Louis Cardinals.
