The Atlanta Braves will soon change the name of their stadium, and it’s likely going to include the word “Truist.”
What’s going on: The Braves will change the name of their stadium — currently known as SunTrust Park — to something that will include the Truist brand, which is a recently-merged bank, CNN reports.
- The full name of the park could become Truist Park or Truist Financial Stadium.
- The name hasn’t been decided.
- It’s not clear when any of this will happen.
- SunTrust and BB&T merged in December to become Truist Financial, USA Today reports.
What they’re saying: Kelly King, the CEO of Truist, said there’s no reason to be worried about the shift in name, according to CNN.
- King: “It’ll be fun. Baseball is baseball. There will be just as many home runs under Truist ... hopefully more.”

Yes, but: The change might not happen immediately, WXII-12 reports.
- “It could take up to two years before brand names of larger properties like the baseball park and branches are changed to the Truist name.”
