ATLANTA (AP) SunTrust Park, the new home of the Atlanta Braves, is moving into the college football business.

Kennesaw State will play Jacksonville State at SunTrust Park on Nov. 17, 2018.

Braves president of development Mike Plant says the only necessary modifications will be removing the pitcher's mound and home plate. One end zone will back up to the Braves' dugout on the first-base line. The other end zone will be on the left-field wall.
