===Former parks===

The Boston Braves played at the [[South End Grounds]] from their inception. After a fire destroyed the park in 1894, the club temporarily played at the [[Congress Street Grounds]] until the South End Grounds could be rebuilt.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/great-south-end-grounds-fire-1894/|title=The Great South End Grounds Fire of 1894|website=New England Historical Society|access-date=January 5, 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.projectballpark.org/history/pl/congress.html/|title=Congress Street Grounds|website=Project Ballpark|access-date=January 5, 2025}}</ref> During the 1914 season, it became evident that the South End Grounds was too small to accommodate larger crowds, prompting the team to play some games at Fenway Park.<ref name="fenway"/> To address the need for a larger venue, [[Braves Field]] was built in 1915.<ref name="bf1915"/>

Braves Field remained the club's home in Boston until the team relocated to Milwaukee. [[Milwaukee County Stadium]] was constructed in 1950 to attract a Major League Baseball team and became the Braves' new home in 1953.<ref name="Story Behind This 1953 Brewers Ticket">[https://www.milwaukeemag.com/story-behind-this-1953-brewers-ticket/ The Story Behind This 1953 Brewers Ticket], ''Milwaukee Magazine'', Matthew Prigge, Nov. 1, 2017. This article includes a picture of a never-used 1953 Milwaukee Brewers ticket, the minor league team which would have opened at the new stadium.</ref>  The team played there until moving to Atlanta in 1966.

The city of Atlanta constructed [[Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium]] in 1965 after reaching an agreement with the Braves to relocate from Milwaukee.<ref name="Storied">{{cite book|last=Smith|first=Curt|author-link=Curt Smith (author)|title=Storied Stadiums|url=https://archive.org/details/storiedstadiumsb00curt|url-access=registration|year=2001|publisher=Carroll & Graf|location=New York City|isbn=0-7867-1187-6}}</ref> The Braves played at Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium until 1997, when they moved to [[Turner Field]]. Originally built as [[Centennial Olympic Stadium]] for the [[1996 Summer Olympics]], the venue was later converted into a ballpark for the Braves.<ref name="braves move">{{cite news |title=At Close of Games, Braves Will Move Into Olympic Stadium|last=Sandomir|first=Richard|date=July 30, 1996|access-date=January 5, 2025|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|url=https://www.nytimes.com/specials/olympics/0730/oly-stadium-braves.html}}</ref> Turner Field served as the Braves' home ballpark through the 2016 season.
