Previous sessions of the course tour have introduced century-old classic courses such as The Red Sox Fenway Stadium and the Cubs' Wrigley Field, and this issue introduces one of the most modern stadiums in major leagues - Truist Stadium on the outskirts of Atlanta. The stadium is the latest stadium in the entire major league, and it was only officially put into use in 2017, compared to the old-fashioned stadium, the facilities here can be described as a variety of facilities. More importantly, of course, is that the stadium brought them a World Series trophy.
Apparently, Truist Wasn't the First Course since the Warriors came to Atlanta, and in 1966, after traveling between Boston and Milwaukee, the Warriors moved to Atlanta in the southeast. Their first stadium was the Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, where the team spent 30 years; but between 1966 and 1991, they shared the field with the NFL Falcons. After the Falcons moved away, the Warriors waited until 1997 to move to Turner Field.

Turner Field, a stadium built in Atlanta to host the 1996 Olympic Games, was a 100-year olympic landmark; however, after the Olympic Games, the stadium was designed to be used only for baseball games, and naturally for the Warriors.
But by 2013, turner's turf was deteriorating to a lesser extent than the minor leagues, but its subsequent maintenance costs were as high as $150 million, far higher than the maintenance cost of a new stadium. Another problem is that the stadium is located in the city center, Atlanta traffic congestion is serious, and fans have complained that the stadium does not have enough parking spaces; and the Warriors have no ownership of the area around the stadium, so there is no way to develop more baseball-related facilities, which is very detrimental to the promotion of the team.

So, combined with the above reasons, the Warriors planned to build a new stadium, this time they chose a suburban location, but located near the traffic artery, it is very convenient to leave the game; in 2014, the team began construction, and in two and a half years, the new stadium was officially opened, which was called SunTrust Park at that time. If there is no accident, the name of this stadium does not need to be changed, but in 2019, Sunshine Trust Bank and BB&T merged and changed its name to Truist Bank; the name of the gold company was changed, and the name of the stadium naturally changed, so in the 2021 season, the stadium was officially named Truist Stadium.

Fans familiar with the Warriors will understand that the Warriors were in a dynastic period in the 90s, but began to experience a long period of lows after 2005, during which the team rarely performed well; coupled with the poor traffic environment at Turner Stadium, a large number of fans were lost. Therefore, the team owner changed the stadium on the one hand, there is a targeted way to save the ball market, on the other hand, he also hopes that the new atmosphere of the new stadium will turn bad luck for the team; as a result, the second year of the Yangguan Trust Stadium, that is, in 2018, the Warriors successfully entered the playoffs, and then played in the playoffs in the next two years, and one step at a time, almost entered the World Series in 2020.
A badge that belongs to the Warriors
In 2021, the same year that the stadium was renamed, the Warriors were depressed in the first half of the regular season and full of injuries, and the Back End forced the anti-Supers metropolis, and the Phillies won the top spot in the National League East. The first round of the playoff series left the Brewers in a dud, and the National League Championship did not fall twice on the same rock, thwarting the Dodgers to the World Series. In the face of the invincible astros, the Warriors were even more fearless in the World Series, and finally won the World Series championship 4-2.

Although Truist Doesn't have the beautiful scenery of Oracle Stadium adjacent to the bay, nor does it have the long history of "Green Monsters" and Ivy Walls, but as a new course, it is characterized by advanced. It is designed to best meet the needs of today's fans, and it can even be said that it is the best stadium in the entire major league to meet all ages.
In terms of appearance, this stadium is no different from most of the stadiums, with a huge LED screen behind the stadium, two huge lamp posts on the left and two huge lampposts in the right and right infield, and the roofs of the stands on the left and right sides are also equipped with spotlights to ensure the night lighting of the stadium. Behind the right outfield is a huge office building with a huge Warriors badge outside the office building; how can the Axe Gang not have a tomahawk element? Under the stadium honor flag, there are 3 neon lights in the shape of tomahawks, and the audience will also sing tomahawk battle songs as the colors of the neon lights change, stirring up the atmosphere of the stadium.

In order to meet the preferences of young people, a large bar was set up on the second floor of the right outer stand of the Truist Stadium, where girls and boys could enjoy the game while drinking. In order to let the children who come to watch the ball not be bored by the long break, the stadium of course set up a game experience area; such as rock climbing and zipline for the older children, there are also baseball-related games, such as baseball bottle smashing. Of course, the strike cage is essential, in addition to the VR virtual hit, where you can feel the best major league pitchers throwing various variations of the ball at you in the virtual world.
