It was a flat out lie that they told to mollify those people. They talked about how it would be BB&T Field at Groves Stadium and that the Groves name would still be prominent in the stadium and signage. None of that ever happened. The Groves Stadium name was completely gone.So does this mean Groves is officially dead now? I know it’s been functionally dead since the BB&T deal, but with BB&T (and transitioning to Truist) it was BB&T/Truist Field, not Stadium (with the almost never said or acknowledged Groves Stadium name still technically there).
ETA: I don’t really care one way or the other, but I know a lot of folks were pissed when the first deal was done and the “at Groves Stadium” seemed to be the attempt to mollify those folks.
