Construction on the Braves' new home, SunTrust Park, is coming along nicely in Cobb County. As you'll see below, crews have begun building the second and third levels. You can watch a live webcam that oversees the construction here.
Here is a look at the park as of today, June 29:

There's obviously a long way to go, but there is some serious progress being made here.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution had an interesting article today ($) claiming SunTrust Park may cost taxpayers less than originally expected. It's behind a paywall and I don't have access, but this has been a hot-button issue for some time now.
Cobb County's latest financial projections show taxpayer's annual payments for SunTrust Park construction could be about $3.3 million less than originally thought .
