MARIETTA — Cobb County leaders on Tuesday approved seven agreements governing the Atlanta Braves’ move and plans to build a new stadium. The Cobb County Commission voted 5-0 on an operating agreement that calls for the Braves to occupy the new stadium for at least 30 years. Opponents to the move and stadium deal spoke out during the meeting, and local news media outlets reported that some were asked to leave for being disruptive.
