Panasonic designed and installed a fully-integrated network of audio-video solutions, including a massive centerfield videoboard display, scoreboards, ribbon fascia displays and a large contingent of digital signage throughout the ballpark and adjacent spaces. Adding to the overall sensory expe rience, Panasonic also supplied the fully-integrated sound system. Behind the scenes, Panasonic installed a scalable security management system and associated security camera equipment to ensure the park is safe for its 41,500 visitors per game.

In addition to outfitting SunTrust Park, Panasonic also solutioned and installed technologies throughout The Battery Atlanta, the adjacent entertainment district that provides fans an experience that extends well beyond the gates of the ballpark. Billed as the preeminent sports and entertainment venue in the country, the district delivers over 1.5 million square feet of retail, entertainment and office space—an epicenter of activity.

The multi-use development and community, located in the north Atlanta suburbs, offers a truly unique environment, with technologies intertwined throughout the 60-acre space. Panasonic worked alongside the Braves executive leadership team to enhance the visitors' sensory experience in this first of its kind destination.
