Fields Of Dreams: Sun Trust Park, Atlanta, Georgia


As of this writing, this is the newest stadium inwards baseball. Replacing the all the same useful Turner Field inwards downtown Atlanta, Sunday Trust Park brings the Braves to the suburbs inwards nearby Cobb County. Opened inwards 2017, the stadium is also the anchor to a novel shopping together with amusement oculus called The Battery Atlanta.

The Braves used to hold upwards called America's Team together with were the most pop squad inwards baseball game for awhile due to quondam possessor Ted Turner's massive broadcasting reach. Braves games were present nationwide on his Turner Broadcasting System (TBS) together with the squad had fans nationwide. During the 1990's, the squad won 5 National League pennants together with i World Series. Here are the stats:

Opened: 2017
Surface: Seashore Paspalum, Platinum TE
Construction cost: $622 million
Capacity: 41,804
Field dimensions: Left plain - 335 ft; Left oculus - 385 ft; oculus plain - 400 ft; correct oculus - 375 ft; correct plain - 325 ft.
Home team: Atlanta Braves (National League - MLB) 2017 - present
Events attended: 1 game


Good access all roughly the entire stadium. Wheechair seating is plentiful all roughly the seating bowl. Most accessible seats pick out an overhang from the deck higher upwards blocking the sentiment of the scoreboard. Video monitors are mounted to compensate.

Ticketing is easy, only become to Braves.com to click on wheelchair accessible seating.  We had no occupation getting seats for the wheelchair together with 2 companions.  Dynamic pricing way at that spot are no laid ticket prices but our seats yesteryear the left plain foul pole were roughly $50. 

Public transit is nigh non-existent to this park, at that spot is non plenty parking (we had to common a one-half mile away, pay $25, together with hike to the stadium), together with traffic is intense amongst no i directing traffic that nosotros could see.

There are a few lodging choices are available close the stadium such equally Marriott, Hilton, together with Omni hotels.

Food choices are the normal ballpark fare. We did bask the hot dogs but the popcorn was equally good salty. They could pick out had a meliorate beer selection. Our chip-enabled credit carte du jour would non operate at their snack bars, which required y'all to slide them through the magnetic strip reader.

The concourse is opened upwards together with monitors at the nutrient stands permit y'all to follow the game. This is essential because it took me the starting fourth dimension 3 innings to stand upwards inwards occupation together with larn our food...the staff was nowhere close prepared to handgrip the tape setting crowd that showed upwards the nighttime nosotros were at that spot (41,807) 

In general, nosotros were really disappointed inwards the fan sense at MLB's newest stadium.
