What a Project! The Atlanta Braves Spring Training Facility
What a day! The culmination of years of conversation, creativity, problem-solving, passion and team work. What a moment! Taking in the fact that over 7,000 people were enjoying the outcome of 16-months of construction, and 9-months of design. What a feeling! The juxtaposition of excitement and exhaustion. The rare mixture of accomplishment and nerves. The overwhelming sense of gratitude. The opening game in the new Atlanta Braves Spring Training Facility was a milestone for the Fawley Bryant team, the conclusion of the largest project FBA has ever completed. With the players lined up, the National Anthem filled the stadium, and the first pitch was thrown. We couldn’t help but take a deep breath – we did it!
Here is a recap of some of the great social media posts, press and quotes we collected from the day. We couldn’t be more humbled to have worked with such great people – client, consultants, engineers, designers, CMs, and community leaders. Thank you.
