If you want to take an Uber, be prepared to wait upwards of two hours for your ride home. Forget public transport, no MARTA line out to the stadium (which seems insane). If you drive, you will walk about a mile to the stadium. Which quickly segways to the bad, if you don't stay at the Battery, getting to the stadium as a tourist is a nightmare. The energy is good, nice music, and little fireworks. Starting with the good, we enjoyed the baseball, and the views from almost any seat were great. Don't waste your money on this, huge let down, even if we got to see BP, The thought of taking a child on this tour would have been excruciatingly painful, Braves, ya'll gotta do betta! Our guide finally took us down to the field, still in the stands we were adjacent to the Braves dugout, at which time we were told that we might be able to get the players to interact? So that was a big no for us, I just wanted to see more of the inner workings of the braves organization, I honestly felt like this was a promotion for their upgraded areas, down to telling us how much each space cost. I wanted to see things pertaining to braves baseball, you know, the game! We did get to go up in the press box which was cool, but that was about it. We took off on our tour,which consisted of basically getting to see places you are never going to be able to attend, suites, hank Arron club, infinity club, etc. Needless to say, I was really disappointed. First things first, bad news, batting practice had been cancelled due to the fact the team traveled late the preceding night. We got a bottle of water, Braves baseball and a braves pen before we headed out on the tour. We arrived at 3pm, game time was 720 that night, met by a nice elderly man that was going to be our tour guide, along with another couple. My wife gave me the VIP tour as a birthday gift, we are huge Braves fans so we thought this would be an awesome experience. Another stadium designed by someone who has never watched a game The layout of the stadium is the worst I have seen except Tropicana Field. The concessions were well run but expensive. There is no public transit to get there either and it is located on the intersection of I 75 and 275 well west of Atlanta. The parking is awful, not run by the stadium and not close to the stadium and the stadium is on a hill. If you attend a game here get seats close enough so you don't get a sore neck trying to watch the game. Most parks curve or bend beyond the first and third base bag so you can see 80 percent of the action. Whoever designed the seating never watched a baseball game. You can see the pitcher or the batter without looking almost 90 degrees to the left. These seat which are expensive have a perfect view to watch the umpire who covers second base because the seats face the left field wall all down the fowl line. The seats we got were in the 9th row beyond first base.
