SunTrust Park hit a home run on photo-sharing site Instagram this year.

The Braves' new stadium was the most popular location in Georgia for Instagram postings, according to a list on BuzzFeed of "each state's most Instagrammed location in 2017."

The list featured, as BuzzFeed put it, “some of the biggest universities and incredibly stunning national parks” across the 50 states.

It also included four baseball stadiums in addition to SunTrust Park. Wrigley Field was the “most Instagrammed” location in Illinois, as was Fenway Park for Massachusetts, Busch Stadium for Missouri and Oriole Park at Camden Yards for Maryland.

That’s pretty good company for the rookie SunTrust Park.
