The Braves' revenue increased by $124 million - a 47-percent rise - in 2017, their first year in SunTrust Park, according to financial results released Thursday by team owner Liberty Media.
Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei described the revenue increase as “astounding,” saying in a news release that it demonstrated “the appeal of the new SunTrust Park and (adjacent mixed-use development) Battery Atlanta.”
