Georgia State University (GSU) and its development partners, Carter and Oakwood Development, released new renderings today showing what Turner Field will look like once it becomes a mixed-use development, according to a report at the AJC.

GSU closed on the $30 million purchase of the The Ted last week and plans to transform the current venue into a football stadium for The Panthers. A new baseball stadium will be built on the site of the former Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, which is now a parking lot.

Around the sports complexes, will be student housing, office buildings, retail/restaurant space and apartment buildings.
