Insider Tips

01

The One Thing

Arrive 90 minutes early and walk The Battery Atlanta before the game. It is the most complete stadium district in baseball.

02

The Food Priority

Buy boiled peanuts from a walking vendor in the seating bowl. The most distinctly Southern ballpark food in professional sports.

03

Arrive Early

Get to The Battery 90 minutes before first pitch. The restaurants and bars are better than anything inside the park.

04

Stay Late

Post-game in The Battery is the best stadium-district post-game in the NL East. Bars stay open well after the final out.

05

Parking Reality

Truist Park is car-centric. MARTA connections to Cumberland are limited. The parking structure attached to The Battery is the best post-game exit. Book SpotHero.

06

Best Value Seat

Upper level sections 310–325 on the first base side. Covered, good sight lines, reasonable prices.
