Warm ups/batting practice.  I've never had a seat this close at a major league ballpark.  It was delightful. Underneath the Budweiser sign in center field is an area for drinking and eating during the game.  They show that area frequently when watching Braves games on TV.

Date Visited: 4/98 and once or twice a season since. Ease of getting to;getting in and out of: Wonderful if you take the MARTA.  A hassle with traffic and parking if you go by car. Radio Announcer: Website:  Official website: Good. www.atlantabraves.com Customer Service: Personal Notes: A little expensive.  Can get hot in the summer.  Beautiful stadium. A huge Coke bottle display made out of baseball equipment.

Here's the coke bottle I mentioned.  It's made out of balls, bats, gloves, catcher's equipment, and more.  Quite interesting to see.
