Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed says the Braves could stay longer at Turner Field should construction fall behind on the team’s new stadium in Cobb County. The catch is that the team must commit to five years.
The Braves are scheduled to leave Turner Field after the team’s 2016 season. The team has in its contract a five-year option to stay at the site, reports Atlanta Business Chronicle broadcast partner WXIA-TV.
Reed doesn’t seem inclined to cut the team any slack on the time frame.
Several developers have expressed interest in the Turner Field property, Reed said Thursday. “We could sell Turner Field right now,” he added.
“They gotta take it all,” Reed said smiling. “Can’t take a piece. You gotta take all five years.”
