The last stadium concept, intended for the soccer club's move to Major League Soccer, would've had a maximum capacity of 25,000, but never began construction after an investor pulled out of joining team ownership.

Pawol breaks gender barrier, earns good reviews for her work behind the plate on historic weekend
ATLANTA (AP) — Jen Pawol breezed through Sunday's Marlins-Braves game as if breaking a gender barrier was just another day on the job. Considering Pawol became the first female umpire to work behind the plate in the majors, making unprecedented history appear to be routine was especially impressive. 'I think Jen did a really nice job,' Miami manager Clayton McCullough said after Atlanta's 7-1 win over the Marlins. 'I think she's very composed back there. She handled and managed the game very well. And big day for her. Big day for Major League Baseball. I congratulated her again on that because it's quite the accomplishment.' It was an impressive cap to a memorable weekend for Pawol. She made history in Saturday's doubleheader as the first female umpire to work a regular-season game in the majors. She called the bases in the doubleheader before moving behind the plate on Sunday, placing her in the brightest spotlight for an umpire. Pawol never showed any indication of being affected by the attention, even while knowing every call would be closely watched. 'Congrats to Jen, obviously,' said Braves left-hander Joey Wentz, who earned the win by allowing only one run in 5 1/3 innings. Asked about Pawol's calls, Wentz said, 'I try not to focus on the zone, to be honest with you. ... I thought it was good though.' There were few opportunities for disputes as Wentz and Miami starting pitcher Cal Quantrill combined for only three strikeouts. The first called third strike came in the fifth inning, when Pawol used a fist pump when calling out Miami's Kyle Stowers on a pitch that was close to the edge of the plate. McCullough was seen in the Marlins dugout with his palms held up as if asking about the pitch call. He said after the game it's not unusual to question a close called strike. 'Over the course of the game, there are a number of times that you just are going to be asking for clarity on one, if you aren't sure,' McCullough said. 'So it could have been that.' The 48-year-old Pawol was called up as a rover umpire, so her next assignment in the majors has not been announced. 'I wish her the best moving forward as she continues to, I'm sure, hopefully one day be up full time, you know, a permanent big league umpire,' McCullough said. Pawol also received positive reviews from Braves manager Brian Snitker, who on Saturday said, 'You can tell she knows what she does.' Pawol's work in the minor leagues began in 2016 when she was assigned to the Gulf Coast League. She worked in the Triple-A championship game in 2023 and in spring training games in 2024 and again this year. 'We certainly didn't call her up from A ball, right?' Quantrll said. 'So yeah, I'm sure she was well prepared. And like I said I think, you know, part of the game moving forward is that if this is normal then we're going to treat it normal, too. So, you know, I thought it was fine. I think she did she did a quality job. ... And yeah, I think she'd be very proud of herself. And, you know, it's kind of a cool little thing to be part of.' Pawol spoke to reporters on Saturday when she said, "The dream actually came true today. I'm still living in it. I'm so grateful to my family and Major League Baseball for creating such an incredible work environment. … I'm just so thankful.' Pawol received cheers from fans on both days. On Sunday, some held up 'Way to go Jen!' signs. ___ AP MLB:

Rookie Shane van Gisbergen remains NASCAR's king of the road courses with fourth victory of the season
As amazing as van Gisbergen's rookie season in the Cup series. The Trackhouse Racing driver joined 2020 champion Chase Elliott and NASCAR Hall of Famer Jeff Gordon as the only drivers to win four consecutive Cup races on road or street courses. SVG does it again! 🏁🏁🏁🏁 — NASCAR (@NASCAR) Advertisement Unlike his prior wins at Mexico City, Chicago, and Sonoma, van Gisbergen was unable to start from pole position after being edged by Ryan Blaney. After qualifying second, van Gisbergen bided his time and took his first lead on the 25th of the 90-lap race. He then settled into a typically flawless and smooth rhythm on the 2.45-mile road course. 'I'm just a very lucky guy to get to drive for an amazing bunch of people and just execute,' van Gisbergen said. 'The day went flawlessly.' The 36-year-old rookie made his final pit stop with 27 laps remaining and cycled into first place on Lap 74 of a clean race with only three yellow flags. Cruising to a big lead while leading the final 17 laps, van Gisbergen beat Christopher Bell by 11.116 seconds. Advertisement 'I'm thrilled because we've been struggling a little bit,' Bell said. 'Just trying to execute the races has been tough for us, so really awesome to have a good day. Frustrated to get our butts kicked by (van Gisbergen). He's doing such a really good job.' With five victories in only 38 career starts in NASCAR's premier series, van Gisbergen trails only Elliott (seven wins) and Kyle Larson (six) among active drivers on street or road courses. He also is the fastest to five Cup wins since the legendary Dan Gurney, who won his fifth race in his 13th start in January 1968. The win validated the decision by Trackhouse to sign van Gisbergen to a multiyear contract extension last week. Tied with Denny Hamlin for the series lead in victories, van Gisbergen holds the No. 2 seed in the playoffs with two races remaining in the regular season. The first round will be held at three oval tracks, where the inexperienced van Gisbergen, who raced exclusively on road and street courses while winning three championships in the Australia-based V8 Supercars, has an average finish of 26.9 this year. Setting himself up for playoff success. 💪 — NASCAR (@NASCAR) 'It ain't going to be easy, that's for sure,' van Gisbergen said of his playoff outlook. 'The first round, it's some very difficult left-handed tracks for me, but I'm getting better at it, and I'm enjoying myself, and it's a challenge. That's why we're here, and we'll have a proper crack at it.' Third-place finisher Chris Buescher improved to 34 points ahead of Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing teammate Ryan Preece in the battle for the final playoff spot. Advertisement Buescher outdueled van Gisbergen on the final lap to win at Watkins Glen last year. His team tailored its strategy Sunday toward amassing stage points instead of following the win-oriented strategy used by van Gisbergen. 'Last year, we didn't have to deal with the points side of things, so we brought a fast race car and made it happen,' Buescher said. 'We had a really fast race car again, just definitely took the opportunity to capitalize on some big stage points early.' It was another frustrating race for Ty Gibbs, who spun John Hunter Nemechek late in Stage 2 and then complained about the handling and strategy of his No. 54 Toyota. Joe Gibbs Racing competition director Chris Gabehart, who recently began working as a strategist and consultant to Gibbs' team, radioed the driver to 'stay in the game' after the Nemechek wreck and later took issue after Gibbs questioned his team's strategy. A replay from inside the Nos. 42 and 54. — NASCAR (@NASCAR) Gibbs, the grandson of team owner Joe Gibbs, finished 33rd and remained winless since moving into Cup after winning the 2022 Xfinity Series championship. Teammates Chase Briscoe, Denny Hamlin, and Christopher Bell have qualified for the playoffs with victories this season. The Cup Series will race Saturday at Richmond Raceway, which will play host to its only NASCAR race weekend this season. The 0.75-mile oval had two annual races on the Cup schedule from 1959-2024.
