Comcast Teams Up with the Braves

The Atlanta Braves baseball team and Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) announced a multi-year technology and real estate partnership to deliver multi-terabit network capabilities to SunTrust Park and the surrounding community.

Comcast will provide video, voice and high-speed Internet connectivity throughout the 60-acre project, which includes the new ballpark, retail shops, restaurants, an office tower, hotel, an entertainment venue and residential units. The development's all-fiber network is intended to be capable of delivering multi-gigabit speeds throughout the complex. Comcast will also become the Braves' signature tenant in a multi-story office building within the development.

The Comcast network will include two data centers, each with 10,000 fiber connections backed by dual 400 MW generators.
