For the past couple of days, there have been rumors circulating that the Braves and Comcast were set to make a major announcement concerning a partnership of sorts. This morning, they made the announcement, which was that Comcast would become the "signature tenant" of the mixed-use development project that will surround SunTrust Park.
From the press release:
Comcast will provide video, voice and high-speed Internet connectivity throughout the 60-acre project, which includes the new ballpark, retail shops, restaurants, an office tower, hotel, an entertainment venue and residential units. The development's all-fiber network will be capable of delivering multi-gigabit speeds throughout the complex on game days and every day in between. Comcast will also become the Braves' signature tenant in a multi-story office building within the development.
"From the outset, we said the Braves would set a new standard of excellence in every aspect of this project, and building the most technologically advanced ballpark in history and redefining fan connectivity is key to accomplishing that," said Braves Chairman Terry McGuirk. "Our partnership with Comcast will keep us head-and-shoulders above other sports venues and mixed-use communities around the country and allow us to meet our fans' high expectations for engagement, awareness and access. Shoppers, hotel guests and office tenants will also enjoy an experience unlike any other community."
Naturally, this means that we'll now be treated to seeing Comcast and xfinity logos at various places in and around SunTrust Park.

Whether you love or hate Comcast as a company, it's always nice for a pro sports franchise to take corporate money any chance that they get. That's just a fact of life when it comes to the business side of things. Now, what does this mean for the Braves from a baseball operations perspective? To be honest with you, it doesn't mean too much. Whatever money the Braves make from this particular partnership probably won't be invested into the playing team itself, so don't expect this to have any sort of impact on what the Braves team looks like in the future.
However, if you're a fan of (hopefully) having reliable Wi-Fi and other techie bells-and-whistles all over SunTrust Park and the surrounding area, then this should be good news for you.
