Anyone familiar with the Newnan, GA/Peachtree City area ?

Very decent area. That’s all I got.

with baseball to the north and football to the south, you can really stay anywhere in town. Not much down in Peachtree City, but maybe that's perfect.

But that's a solid hour drive from the baseball park.

At a minimum, unless you get to the Battery around 3 pm or so. Then you have to park and walk, which may be as much as a mile or two depending on where you buy parking. And you likely won't get back to your hotel until well after midnight if you don't leave the Braves game early. It's almost assuredly going to be a sold out game, which means it's gonna take a while to get out of there, not mention the walk back to the car.

There are quite a few places to stay around Truist. It may make sense to get a hotel there Friday night and then another closer to Auburn and check in on the way to the game on Saturday. There's an Omni Hotel right behind the stadium. That way you don't have to worry about the drive and you can hang out in the battery before and/or afterward. There's a Doubletree, Aloft and Hampton Inn on the southwest end of the battery as well.

Grandparents used to live in the Arbor Springs neighborhood. Amazing little town and relatively close to Atlanta.

There's Calloway gardens near LaGrange...locals may call it touristy but it's a great time if you two enjoy bike paths, hiking, or golf.

Thanks guys ! Never been to Braves game or auburn so really looking forward to this.

A couple of more thoughts...

If you narrow it down to Newnan or Peachtree City, I would lean Newnan because it is much easier access to 85, with several hotels right off the interstate. Peachtree City is a bit off the interstate.

Food wise, most of Newnan's offerings will be chains. The majority of restaurants are clustered near exit 47 aling Bullsboro Drive or the Newnan Bypass.. If the AU game is under the lights, there is a Taco Mac (wings, sports bar) that has a ton of TV's for catching early games.

Also, Sprayberry's BBQ is pretty good. It is in the little town of Newnan. Get the Lewis Grizzard Special - pulled pork sandwich, Brunswick Stew, and onion rings.

good advice. There are some good hotel options in Newnan right off of the exit. Newnan has the usual BWW and Taco Mac but also has the square downtown. Redneck Gourmet, Rednexican, Karvelas Pizza, Meat n Greet for burgers, Goldens is a meat and three place. Checkout the Cellar too. Dinner is kinda pricey but they have an outdoor bar area that has live music.
