Coconut Telegraph

The new Spring Training home of the Atlanta Braves has its name:  CoolToday Park.

“As part of our commitment to maintain a lifelong relationship with our community, this partnership with the Braves organization, City of North Port, and Sarasota County will cement our presence and strategy for southern Sarasota County,” said Jaime DiDomenico, President/Owner of CoolToday.  “The Braves have a proven track record of building strong ties to the community they operate in and we look forward to enhancing those ties going forward.  I’m very excited about what the future holds.”
 
The 20-year agreement includes scoreboard and dugout signage for CoolToday as well as exterior signage and promotional opportunities for additional events held at the facility. “This is a new chapter in Braves history and one that strengthens Florida as our home away from home,” said Mike Plant, President and CEO of Braves Development Company.  “CoolToday and the Braves share deep roots in the state of Florida and we couldn’t imagine a more perfect partner for this facility.”
 
CoolToday Park is being developed by the Braves in partnership with Sarasota County, the City of North Port and West Villages/Mattamy Homes.  Ground breaking on the facility occurred on October 16, 2017 and the first full Spring Training season will happen in 2020.
