State Mutual Stadium has been the home of the Rome Braves of the South Atlantic League since its completion in 2003. It seats 5,105 people. The playing field dimensions are a mirror of the parent club's Turner Field, which is a mere 70 miles (110 km) away. The naming rights were sold to Rome-based State Mutual Insurance Company.
