"Due to the relatively high elevation of the Atlanta area (situated at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains), Fulton County Stadium boasted the highest elevation in baseball when it opened, at 1,050 feet (320 m) above sea level.

The power alleys were never shorter than 370 feet (113 m) from the plate; on at least two occasions they were as far as 390 feet (119 m). Over time, it gave up fewer home runs than any other park in the National League.[6] The Astrodome's reputation as a pitcher's park continued even in the mid-1980s, when the fences were moved in closer than the Metrodome, which was long reckoned as a hitter's park."
