"Georgia State University plans to name its new athletics complex in Summerhill after Hank Aaron and create a museum in his honor, according a person familiar with the project.
Georgia State has been working with Aaron’s widow, Billye, on the design. It will feature a 24/7, walkthrough memorial for the Atlanta Braves icon, who died on Jan. 22, at the former site of Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. It will sit between GSU's soon-to-be built baseball and softball complex, which will also be named after Aaron.
The museum will be adjacent to the "715" home plate location where Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s iconic home run record in 1974. It will also highlight a redesigned plaza area that will recognize Aaron, one of the greatest baseball players of all-time."

That will be pretty cool.

Impressive move to align with such greatness.

No disrespect but will you have to enter campus to see it?

Yes if you're a GA Southern fan.

Lol

apparently $20mil price tag.. to be completed in 18-24 months.

What will be interesting to see is the start date on that timeline as the $20M has to be raised.

Very thoughtful of Georgia State to honor one of, if not the most famous native sons of Mobile. So thankful to have known him through his brother Tommie, who I played ball against several times.

Without knowing any details, I would think that should be easily raised.

Great tribute to a great man. I was actually at the game when Hammer'in Hank broke Babe Ruth's record. Of course, 100's of thousands of folks now make that claim, but I am sitting right next to the certificate, ticket stub, and 2 photos my friend took hanging in a frame on my office wall.

Let the Mobile edition be played in The Hank.

Mobile is the page two part of the Henry Aaron story.

How you figure that??? He was born and raised in Mobile. His story starts in Mobile, without Mobile, there is no Hank Aaron.

Was scouted and signed by Indianapolis of the Negro League while playing for $3 a game for the Mobile Black Bears.

Then go ahead and spend $20M and build him a stadium and monument.

Plain and simple (for those that have a hard time understanding), Hank Aaron was born and raised in Mobile, Alabama, where he learned how to play the game of baseball.

Way to make the narrative about you and not about where he broke he Home Run record, during the Civil Rights movement and settled for the rest of his life..
