Curbed Atlanta has a report on three potential site plans for Turner Field once the Braves depart for their new home in Cobb County.

The mixed-use development led by Georgia State University and Carter development company will feature a mix of athletic arenas — including a retrofitted Ted — housing, retail, restaurants and more.

The concepts, designed by Perkins + Will, work to reconnect the Pittsburgh and Summerhill neighborhoods that were divided by the interstate system and the building of the first stadium back in the 1960s. Residents who live in the stadium neighborhoods are also being encouraged to weigh in with their recommendations at this link.
