Built in 2003 , the Rome Braves stadium has been the setting for thousands of priceless memories for fans and families throughout the area for decades . Rome has been home to several stars from Brian McCann and Jeff Francoeur to 2021 World Series Champions Max Fried , Austin Riley and Ozzie Albies . Aside from the Braves ’ stars of tomorrow , the Rome Braves stadium plays host to several high school and college baseball games throughout the year . In 2021 , the Southern Athletic Association held its conference baseball tournament in Rome , and the GHSA also annually hosts several state championship games with the Rome Braves .
AdventHealth ’ s partnership with the Rome Braves includes team member appreciation nights and a Strike Out Stroke night in May in honor of National Stroke Awareness Month featuring our EMS teams as honorary team captains . A few weeks after announcing the stadium ’ s new name , the Atlanta Braves 2021 World Series trophy was on display during a Rome Braves game at AdventHealth Stadium , and Mike Murrill , president and CEO of AdventHealth Redmond and the AdventHealth Southeast Region , threw out the first pitch .
“ We ’ ve been fortunate to have a growing partnership with the Rome Braves for many years ,” said Murrill . “ The Rome Braves are an impressive organization , and our values of making a positive impact in our community align naturally . We are honored to have the stadium named after AdventHealth , and we look forward to working together for many years to come as we help our communities and our region feel whole .”
AdventHealth Redmond is exploring several additional opportunities to enhance our partnership with the Rome Braves including combined community outreach efforts to take our mission of Extending the Healing Ministry of Christ beyond the walls of our hospitals and outpatient settings .
