It also helps that the Braves have been consistently good since Truist opened.


Absolutely. But the point is they were consistently good at turner field and Fulton county stadium as well.

At AFCS, they would've been more consistently bad

Basically the only highlights were 1982-84 (and the stadium was still half empty) and obviously the 90s run (the first time average season attendance ever broke 30,000 was 1992). That carried over into the Ted, but by the mid-2000s the NLDS losses really took their toll. Attendance finally cratered after 2013 when the team was in rebuild mode to 24K, and they got a bump with the Cobb move from 2017 onward. Only in the past three years has attendance reached the early Ted years on average.
