I would question how much the slight elevation difference between Atlanta and the other Eastern major-league cities has much to do with the frequency with which home runs were hit there. I think that this was far more likely to be primarily to the dimensions, which were small for a major-league park. The outfield was particualry small after the plate was moved closer to the outfield fence and the amount of foul territory behind it increased.

I agree. It was the dimension of the park.

[edit] "Atlanta Stadium"

I recently found the date for the stadium being renamed - it was 1976. I updtaed this page as well as the Braves, Falcons, Crackers, and 1972 All-Star Game. I found the date referenced on the Braves website http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/atl/ballpark/history.jsp and the cover of the 1972 ASG program (http://www.the-forum.com/COLLECT/allstar.htm) only mentions Atlanta.

[edit] Fire

There really should be mention of the fire that happened in 1993 from someone who has knowledge on the matter. Anung Mwka 23:42, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
