Editorial Review for Turner Field – by Jay Patrick
The Venue
Nicknamed "The Ted," the plush, classic stadium made just for baseball sports a giant 30-by-38 foot video screen, Braves museum and kids' entertainment areas. Other amenities include an enormous Coke bottle made of baseball paraphernalia and left-field sprinklers for summer afternoons. A wide variety of food--from hot dogs to the obscure "conewich," a barbecue sandwich in a bread cone--is available. At 19-by-22 inches, the seats are downright roomy for a big-league park.
The Experience
There's no spectacle in Atlanta that equals 49,714 Braves fans chanting while raising red foam tomahawks in synchronicity. Games stretch on, though, and the center field bar--a bona fide meat market--is a hot spot for less-enthused spectators. The tour, which starts at the Braves Museum and Hall of Fame and includes the luxury suite, dugout and broadcast booth, provides a less-obstructed view of the stadium. (Call (404) 614-2311 for hours and prices.)

Insider Tips
Save MoneyAvoid high concession prices by carrying your own food and unopened plastic bottles of water and soft drinks into the stadium.
Know Before You GoThree hours before game time, skyline seats go on sale for $1.
ParkingYou can drive and pay about $10 per car to park in surface lots or take MARTA to Five Points and catch a free shuttle to the game.
Look GoodIt's not wise to purchase tickets from non-licensed vendors outside the stadium. Bar-coded tickets are scanned, not torn, so those discount passes you're eyeing may have been used already.

If you love baseball or just want to go out for a night with a group of friends for some great food in a lively atmosphere go to the 755 Club at Turner Field. This place is always rocking and has good food. Be aware that the prices will be pretty pricey since it is a baseball game but you will love the club's newly renovated interior flourished with HD-TV's and tapas like tables. Not to mention you wont miss a minute of the game since you can view it from inside or outside the club. And oh yeah! they have televisions in the bathrooms. Now, back to the baseball aspect of Turner Field. If you wanna head out and watch a game I suggest buying some lower-level tickets. You will not be let down, by the view or the service. If you get lower level tickets (dugout or a few aisle's left and right to the dugout) there is in seat service. The fun doesn't stop there; lets say you have kids but still want to catch a game. You can go to the game and check out the state of the art amusement park Tooner Field (from Cartoon Network) inside the stadium at no extra cost. If you are going to park at the game I suggest parking your car in one of Turner Field's lots. You can notice them easily, they say "Turner Field Parking." The reason I would park there and pay the $2 extra (most Turner lots are $12 while some "local" lots are $10-$12) is for safety and convince. They are safer since you have security guards monitoring the cars and they are closer to the stadium. I prefer parking in the Gold lot. I find it the easiest to get in and out of .
Pros: Awesome Seats, Great Ballpark Food and Amazing Amenities
Cons: Parking Can be a pain

I had a great time watching the Red Sox sweep the Braves this past summer at Turner Field. Ticket prices were reasonable; I think that I spent more on concessions than I did for the tickets and I had great seats for all of the games. Turner is a nice traditional baseball park with modern amenities.
Pros: Plenty of good seats with a good view of the field.
Cons: Get there early to get parking close to the stadium.
