Midtown
Midtown Atlanta is a district in Atlanta, Georgia, situated between the commercial
and financial district of Downtown to the south and the affluent residential and
nightlife district of Buckhead to the north. Midtown includes the city's tallest
building, Bank of America Plaza, and about one-third of the city's high-rises. It
is bounded by Monroe Drive on the East, I-85 and I-75 to the North, Northside Drive
on the west and Ralph McGill Blvd on the south. Note that the socio-cultural boundaries
may differ slightly from the official boundaries.
The stadium was built across the street from the former home of the Braves, Atlanta-Fulton
County Stadium, which was demolished in the summer of 1997. From 2002 to 2004, the
failed Fanplex entertainment center was located adjacent to the park's parking lot.
The stadium contains 59 luxury suites and three party suites.
The most popular name choice among Atlanta residents for the new stadium at the
time of its construction (according to a poll in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
was Hank Aaron Stadium. After the ballpark was instead named after Ted Turner, the
city of Atlanta renamed the section of Capitol Avenue on which the stadium sits
Hank Aaron Drive, giving Turner Field the street number 755, after Aaron's home
run total.
Piedmont Park is the 189 acre "Central Park" of Atlanta, Georgia, located in Midtown,
north of the city center. Originally the land was owned by Dr. Benjamin Franklin
Walker, who used it as his out-of-town gentleman's farm and residence. He sold the
land in 1887 to the Gentlemen's Driving Club (later renamed the Piedmont Driving
Club), who wanted to establish an exclusive club and racing ground for horse enthusiasts.
The original Walker residence has been incorporated as a room in the clubhouse.
The Driving Club entered an agreement with the Piedmont Exposition Company to use
the land for fairs and expositions and later gave the park its name.
