Truist Park, the Atlanta Braves, and the "Elephant In The Room" 

Turner field was in a terrible location and traffic was exponentially worse. I admit, not being within a few miles of the airport can leave some frustrated when we are limited to hotel gouging, but theres no denying location for access and now a hugely improved social district is far better.

Turner Field was a nightmare traffic wise, which was causing a dip in attendance, as people weren't coming out to games, additionally ot needed 350 million dollars in structural, and internal upgrades, hence why they decided to move

As a Atlanta Braves fan since the days of Fulton County stadium in the 1960's I was so happy to see this new park, It is beautiful and in a much better location being right on I285, I live in east central Georgia and find it is so much easier to get in and out of the area now. In the old days at Fulton County stadium and Turner field, there was nothing around that area really to do after the game, the whole concept of the battery with all the restaurants is great and all the amenities in the area make it so you don't really have to leave after the game to eat or whatever. Our favorite restaurant there is Superica. Thanks for the info about the places closing after the game in the Battery, I never really looked into that. We usually go to day games on the weekends and never saw any of the restaurants closed afterward. Also I never knew about many of the places you were showing cause we usually get the tickets and sit in the same area every time.

Great tour! Big fan of your channel

Next summer for me (fingers crossed). I hope the M’s are there since ATL is in SEA this season.

I went to my first braves game in 1996 at Fulton county stadium I went to my second game in 98 at Turner Field went to two other games at Turner Field the only thing that I would say that this ballpark does not have to put it over the top the homerun wall that Henry Aaron hit 7:15 over when they built Turner Field is still stood and that's one thing they cannot transfer to this new location but other than that even though Turner Field was only 20 years old it was definitely time for a new stadium it's a beautiful stadium I can't wait to go to the game there

Turner Field was literally in the hood, and there would be homeless people roaming around harassing you as you walk to your car. Truist Park is leagues above the old stadium. There was nothing to do around Turner Field. No restaurants or anything. The Battery isn’t even comparable to the surrounding area of Turner Field because there was nothing to compare to

How is food choice surrounding area?

The location of Turner Field was Terrible.....

Thinking about getting a cheaper hotel outside the immediate ballpark area, do you think getting an Uber drop off and pickup would be feasible on a weekday night game?

Bought some standing only tickets for the playoffs. Anywhere you would recommend standing for the better views?

Is turner field demolished?

amazing there's no roof. big mistake.

Looks like a great place for baseball and I hope I get to visit one day....but, what is wrong with "the chop?" I think it's awesome they all do that.

This guy doesn't know what he's talking. I grew up 10 minutes west of the stadium, and his opinion is uneducated... this guy is a joke!

The braves didn’t own Turner Field. They own the property they are on now and not to mention turner field was in a terrible area of town. You couldn’t park your car and walk to the the stadium without feeling like you were gonna be robbed. I like the new stadium. I’ve been a Braves fan my whole life but I like the new area.

what a slam job. Sorry we did had to move out of Atlanta. We can tell how much it pissed you off. Also, stadium holds 41084. Average for all MLB stadiums is 42,675. So its only 1500 less than the average stadium. The long lines are because we sell out almost EVERY game!

Thanks for the video of the park, but, you sound like a complete hater. Go Braves!!!! I’m here to enjoy the experience

Need a BBQ place

They’re gonna leave Truist and build another park in about 15 years

And yeah we’re still doing the chop. Cry about it

The chop is so racist what a ridiculously embarrassing thing to do in this day and age. Atlanta fans should be ashamed of themselves . I'm from Toronto area and we would ban that crap. I mean the name is bad enough I would avoid Atlanta for that reason alone what a shame because the park and surrounding area look fantastic. Thanks for the great tour

All these parks should be privately financed. It is kind of crazy to read a lot of the pro-Truist comments here. Are none of these folks Cobb County taxpayers? All the taxes used on the Braves could have been used to maintain the current Cobb County infrastructure. In contrast the Cardinals stayed downtown and then built Busch Stadium and Ballpark Village with private financing. It ended up fixing the area around the ballpark. Also it’s kind of frustrating to see narrow concourse parks still built in this era.

As an Atlanta fan, I miss a downtown park. Location serves only season ticket owners, who are white and affluent, stadium is only here for them. Cobb County tax payers will suffer for years and will lose a billion dollars when the Braves move the ballpark again. There's no public transit connection which is a crime, MARTA needs a NW line to TP or else the Braves can change their name to Cobb County Braves because its a stressor getting to a game. The stadium is a local politics rush job with tight concourse areas that become congestion corners during peak crowds which shows how fast they approved these designs, no thought. It's a cookie cutter design that pulls from other Populus designed stadiums while recreating Turner Field in a compact style. The most disgusting oversight by the Atlanta Braves Organization is the statue of Henry Aaron behind Home Plate being flanked by integral concrete pillars. Hank should have his own building dedicated to him in a separate rotunda on a mountain, not an after thought of a location. The GOOD things about TP is there is no bad seat in the stadium. The seats tier over each other to provide best visibility. A downtown park is what Atlanta needed connected to established public transit, and the Braves failed its fans in favor of the short game of catering to deep pocketed whites.
