How much did Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium cost?
Built to bring major-league baseball to Atlanta, the circular Atlanta Stadium opened in April 1965 and later hosted both the Braves and the Falcons. Hank Aaron hit his record-breaking 715th home run there, and the venue hosted Olympic baseball in 1996 before its demolition in 1997. The reported $18 million is the approximate cost of the original stadium, not a present-day replacement price.
