Transitioning from Racetrack to Ballpark: Bristol’s MLB Transformation Gains Momentum

Bristol Motor Speedway is undergoing a significant transformation as it prepares to host its first Major League baseball game on August 2, 2025, featuring the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds. The conversion, which began in June, involves extensive renovations, including the removal of track features, laying down synthetic turf similar to that used by the Toronto Blue Jays, and constructing essential facilities like locker rooms and concessions. With an expected crowd that could set a record for attendance at a baseball game, the event will feature a pregame concert and numerous fan activities. After the game, the venue will race against the clock to revert back to its original racetrack configuration for the upcoming NASCAR playoffs in September.
