Do the Braves advertise locally?

There is nobody at this game tonight. I realize it’s only on national Tv and against a division rival, but you’d think they could get a better crowd out there.

It’s tough to compete with Game of Thrones I guess. Then again, if I went to a baseball game and heard the Ric Flair ‘woo’ I may not wanna go back either.

So was the stadium built in a shitty location?

Highly congested location that’s really a pain.

No realistic convenient transit options to the stadium, so I never even consider going

Damn.

Way to go Braves. At least they have some mixed use development around there to go with the park. Geez...pathetic...

It was a rain delayed start. Ran a lot of people off. But it’s not like Braves fans are known for packing the park every night. And that goes back to Fulton County Stadium.

It’s Sunday night, masters day, game of thrones premiere, and possible weather that did cause a 30 min delay.

It was a sellout last night

It’s not that bad.. it’s right on two major highways and a massive 8 lane road in front. The only thing that can suck is the Uber area after a packed game

The Masters, GOT, Sunday night, and a downpour that delayed the game all had something to do with it

I live right there at the stadium, and its really not that bad.

Sunday night games in general are tough and I know some schools are starting back up from spring break today. It had stormed all day bad in the Atlanta area, and Im sure that kept some people away. The stadium is 80-95% full most weekend games.

I was there last night. The crowd was not too bad for a Sunday evening on a school night. Plus, there was a rain delay and a cold front moved in.

Getting to and from the stadium is not bad at all. Cobb County’s finest does a good job directing traffic around the stadium. The fact that there are a lot of food and entertainment options around the stadium means people do not all arrive and leave at the same time.

Pretty easy to see that no one knows what they are talking about in here.

No kidding

Braves attendance is quite good.

Stadium has excellent traffic ingress/egress, especially by Atlanta standards. Battery is almost always crowded. It's much easier to go to games for all but people south of midtown.

But that’s the rational they gave for building the nw stadium in the suburbs and abandoning Turner Field.
