The future of Turner Field

Georgia State is proposing repurposing Turner Field into a 30,000-seat football stadium and building another baseball stadium that will include Hank Aaron’s wall as part of the structure.

The proposed development would be a $300 million mixed-use facility that would convert Turner Field into a 30,000-seat football stadium and transform the surrounding space into a campus extension, consisting of green space, housing, classrooms and more athletic facilities.
