ABM, a leading provider of facility solutions, has entered a multi‑year agreement with the Atlanta Braves to manage janitorial services at Truist Park, the Braves’ home stadium. This partnership represents ABM's tenth collaboration with a Major League Baseball team and marks its first venture in Atlanta.
Spanning 1.1 million square feet, the venue welcomes roughly three million fans each year and hosts between 150 and 200 events, ranging from games to concerts. ABM’s responsibilities will cover the entire campus, ensuring that the massive footprint remains spotless for every occasion.
The collaboration goes beyond traditional cleaning. ABM will deploy a suite of technology‑enabled communication tools that feature live translation and real‑time location tracking, aiming to streamline coordination among staff and improve response times during high‑traffic events.
