Atlanta, GA  -  Fulton County Stadium

Atlanta Braves National League 404-522-7630

Directions: The Braves don't play at Fulton County Stadium anymore.  In fact, the structure doesn't exist.   It's a parking lot for Turner Field. The best way I got to Fulton County was by taking the MARTA. For more information on the MARTA, visit their website www.itsmarta.com General Area in State:  North central Georgia.  A 2 1/2 hour drive southwest of Greenville, SC; about two hours south of Chattanooga, TN; 4 hours east of Birmingham, AL. Host Hotel:  Visit the Atlanta Braves website www.atlantabraves.com for a list of hotels in the area.  Choose the Turner Field link on top of page, then select the Area Information from list on left side of page.

Date Visited: 6/21/96 - 6/22/96 and a few other times that year. Ease of getting to;getting in and out of:   I took the MARTA and it was just fine. Radio Announcer: Website:  Good Official website:   www.atlantabraves.com Customer Service: Adequate Personal Notes:   I enjoyed Fulton County Stadium.  I liked going to games there better than to Turner Field.  I can't quite figure out the reason.  Perhaps it was because the stadium was one of those circular ones that I like.  Or, it wasn't quite as congested as Turner Field.  Maybe because I saw Steve Avery hit a home run.  Am thrilled when pitchers do that.  I miss the stadium. I sat in a variety of different areas at Fulton County.  Way up in the Upper Deck on a hot Saturday afternoon.  My friends loved me for those seats.  On the third base side.  Up behind the home plate.  Those were probably the best.

Other things to do in the area: www.atlantathrashers.com Definitely visit the Atlanta Braves website www.atlantabraves.com for attractions in the Atlanta areas.  Choose the Turner Field selection on top of the page, then choose Area Information on the left side of screen.
