SunTrust Park and the Braves have one of the five best stadium upgrades in Major League Baseball this season, according to a list compiled by MLB.com's Michael Clair.

While Clair cited several individual upgrades at other stadiums across the MLB -- from unique concession items to technology and new amenities -- the Braves were the only team to move to an entirely new stadium this season.

Among the new features Clair noted for the Braves were the floating baseball orb near the Todd English Tavern in The Battery, and the giant $26 Tomahawk PorkCHOP sandwich available at the Braves Big Bites stand.

The rest of the list included the subtracted centerfield bern at the Houston Astros’ Minute Maid Park, toasted grasshoppers to eat from the Seattle Mariners, premium season ticket art by the Chicago White Sox, and the Nintendo-inspired Super Bucco Run at the Pittsburgh Pirates’ PNC Park.
