Malone said the Braves have “great management, great new players, a beautiful new facility, an unbelievable complex that has been built in suburban Atlanta.”

“Anybody who gets a chance should go see it,” Malone said of SunTrust Park and The Battery Atlanta. “It’s, I think, a model for how to develop a sports-based complex.”

The brief meeting was held at Liberty Media’s corporate headquarters in Englewood, Colo., and broadcast on the company’s website.
