This is an attempt to document what happened to the parts of Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. While the steel from the structure was recycled and many smaller items, such as seats, signage and other items are now in the hands of private collectors, other bits of the ballpark continue to serve on, whether as museum exhibits or as parts of working stadiums.
This page, like this site, is an ongoing project that depends on the generosity of you, my guests. Your contributions to this page -- or any other part of this state -- are welcome. Please feel free to contact me.

Concourses
Stands/Playing Field

By far, the single largest concentration of relics from the old ballpark may be found here.
Pedestrian tunnel beneath Capitol Avenue/Hank Aaron Drive
Outline of playing field
All of the concrete from the stadium was crushed on site and used as backfill and base material for the parking lot. Read more about it here.
Part of retaining wall, including the right-hand side of the old service tunnel (it is not known if the wall visible now is the original retaining wall.)
Replica of left-field wall section, with replica of "715" sign
City's rather large dedication plaque for the stadium is on display on one of the sidewalks south of the old stadium site.
Statue of Hank Aaron
Statue of Phil Niekro
Statue of Ty Cobb
Seats (later hard plastic style)
Turnstile (at entrance)
Re-creation of dugout, including a section of the (much-worn) bench, bat and helmet racks, dugout railing, electric fan and telephones
Re-creation of lockers from Braves clubhouse
Division and league championship signs, as well as retired number signs, formerly mounted on the Club Level have been mounted above the entrances to the stands.
1995 World Championship sign is now mounted on the left side of the Braves' office suites in left field.
The old left-field scoreboard and out-of-town scoreboards were originally integrated into Turner Field. The out-of-town scoreboard was mounted atop the 755 Club, while the old left-field scoreboard was reconfigured as an auxiliary scoreboard in right field. However, since both scoreboards were prone to malfunction, they were replaced with new electronic scoreboards in 1998. Their ultimate fate is not known; however, I seriously doubt that they are missed.

Sound system -- speakers, amplifiers and mixing board. (Only about five or six speakers were installed at Engel Stadium; two were donated by the Chattanooga Lookouts to the new University of Tennessee-Chattanooga softball stadium, and the rest were donated to venues around Chattanooga.)
