Choice Turner Field seats to carry SunTrust name

Some tickets may cost as much as $300 a game

Atlanta-based SunTrust Bank has reached a deal to put its name on a new Turner Field seating section designed to appeal to the Braves' more affluent fans.

The multi-year deal, confirmed by SunTrust and the Braves, gives the team a naming-rights partner for the swanky club-type area currently under construction in the arc behind home plate.

The new section, scheduled to be completed by the start of next season, will include 158 seats closer to the action than any others at Turner Field. The seats will come with such amenities as unlimited food and beverage, valet parking, a private stadium entrance and access to a 5,000-square-foot lounge being built adjacent to the Braves' clubhouse.

The seats also will come with a steep price tag: as much as $300 per game or $24,900 per season.

So these seats will be where? They said in the arc behind homeplate but they will be closer to any other game. Does that means they are going to make the backstop even shorter?

Since I only go to about one game a year, I'd pay 300 a piece for that kind of experience.

I think its a good idea.
