AdventHealth Stadium is a baseball park located in Rome, Georgia. Opened in 2003, it is the home of the High-A Rome Emperors of the South Atlantic League and has a seating capacity of 5,105. The ballpark was built following the relocation of the Class A Macon Braves from Macon to Rome.

History

After the City of Macon and the Atlanta Braves organization failed to reach an agreement on a new ballpark to replace the aging Luther Williams Field, home of the Class A Macon Braves, the Braves decided to relocate the team to Rome, Georgia. Rome voters subsequently approved a SPLOST to finance the construction of a new stadium, helping secure the franchise's relocation. Funded entirely through SPLOST revenues, the ballpark was completed in time for the 2003 season, with construction costing $19 million.

On February 28, 2003, Rome-based State Mutual Insurance Company acquired the stadium's naming rights. The 18-year agreement was valued at $250,000. In April 2022, the naming rights were acquired by the nonprofit health care system AdventHealth.

Features

The stadium contains 14 luxury suites, a full-service restaurant, and a group pavilion. The field dimensions mirror those of the Atlanta Braves' former home, Turner Field, located approximately away. The relatively large outfield contributes to the ballpark's reputation as a pitcher-friendly venue.
