Turner Field or "The Ted" was a pretty iconic piece of Atlanta in my time there. It started life as Centennial Olympic Stadium during the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. It was built to be able to easily transition into the Atlanta Braves new stadium after the Olympics. By the time I got to Atlanta in '98, The Ted was still very new, and even though I'm not personally a massive fan of baseball I saw several games there. The last was a year or so before I left and on that particular night, yes, it rained. It poured cats and dogs until I didn't have one dry stitch of fabric left on me and we gave up and left. I wonder how many stuck it out during the rain delay?

It still seems strange to me to imagine the Braves have left The Ted. In my mind it's still that virtually new stadium in my memories.
