There are occasional milestones in sports that become "firsts" or "lasts" in the video games that represent them. Whether it be expansion teams, relocation or new stadiums, those are notable for helping distinguish one year's product from others.
The latest one of those regards SunTrust Park, the Atlanta Braves' new stadium, which is featured in "MLB The Show 17." It's the first new stadium to open since Marlins Park in 2012.
The home opener won't occur until April 14, but fans can check it out now in the video game. We've put together a video showing off the inside of SunTrust along with highlights from the first game played against the San Diego Padres.

"MLB The Show 17" is available now and features Ken Griffey Jr. on the cover, new MLB Network presentation, a throwback to the '90s with a Retro Mode, and story-like elements added to its Career Mode known as "Road to the Show." The game can still be ordered for 20 percent off by those with Amazon Prime.
