Georgia State buys Turner Field, plans to convert to football stadium
Placeholder Image
ATLANTA — Georgia State received approval Wednesday to purchase Turner Field for $22.8 million, clearing the way to convert the former home of the Atlanta Braves into a downsized college football stadium. The Panthers, members of the Sun Belt Conference, plan to move into the stadium next season after playing at the much larger Georgia Dome since the program was launched in 2010. The 68-acre site was sold in August to the Georgia State Foundation.
