Best seats in order of shade, comfort, food?

Best hotel close to the park? Omni is sold out.

Thinking about taking my 2 little baws this weekend. They've been asking to go to a game for awhile now.

Exactly, so it's a win regardless.

No one will answer you because none of the barves fans here have ever gone to a game

Good info here: LINK

Terrace reserved seats for a cheaper option. Stayed at the renaissance and you can walk it.

Ignore the astros fan

Braves season ticket holder here. Sit on the first base side lower level (113-120). That’s where my seats are. You’ll be in the shade in late afternoon and you’re close to The Chop House, H & F, the Terrapin/Fox Bros bar and the Battery.

Hotels - tons of options. I would stay in Buckhead if the Omni is sold out - it’s an easy drive up 41.

Purchase a parking pass or take Uber. Not a lot of public lots nearby.

Best seats are gonna be delta/suntrust seats but for a weekend game those are gonna run you $200 a piece. It is all you can eat and drink though.

Best normal seats IMO are first base line 100s. Youre in the shade all of the game and its easy to pop right out into the battery.

Make sure you get there early, walk around the battery. Antico Pizza is fantastic and Fox Bros BBQ is good too. Sports and social and punch bowl social have games for the little ones if you want to hit those up before the game as well (ping pong, ski ball, bowling, foosball) and sports and social has a virtual golf if youre into that as well.

Once in, go to the hall of fame behind home plate and check out the team store and game worn store...all pretty cool. If you want food in the stadium, the best is H&F Burger behind third base or at the chop house up top. There is also a waffle house right there at third base... a crispy order of hashbrowns on top of the H&F is next level and a fry place that has some pretty good chicken bacon ranch fries that are tremendous about 5 hopsecutioners deep. Let me know if ya wanna know anything else

Embassy Suites was solid when we went. Within walking distance, plus they have a complimentary shuttle to and from the park.

do not make the mistake of sitting in the outfield in a day game. I was a dumbass and went a couple years ago and thought "Only $15 to sit on the 2nd row in the outfield. Why not?"

I roasted my nuts off.

The horror of watching one of the best teams in baseball.

Mets fans are so miserable.

If you are a beer fan, sit down the first base line towards the outfield. They have a Terrapin Tap room that you can walk in and out of that is connected to the stadium. The beer is much better and considerably cheaper than what they sell in the stadium. I think they actually have cheaper mix drinks too.

That's what I do during the game. Sitting in 113, it's easy and fast to pop over to Terrapin for beer. They offer a range of beers from a fine Pilsner to IPAs (and everything in between). Grabbing a brisket sandwhich at Fox Bros is nice as well.

I went for the KC game last month. I had corporate season ticket seats, so they were under the overhang behind the visitors dugout. I stayed in a Hampton Inn a few blocks away. We walked, but it would be a haul with two kids. Battery will be crowded for food so plan accordingly. Just my opinion here, very nice stadium, but lacks any "wow" visuals. Feels a bit stale.

Hotel Indigo in Vinings is less than ten minutes away and a nice relatively cheap hotel. They will give you a discount if you ask. Usually less than $125 per night with a little smooth talk. Get seats in the club section and you can have some AC for breaks. Uber and other ride services do a great job at the park. Designated drop and pick up areas. Go Braves.

How little? Depending on age you will want to go to the stadium early so they can visit the Sandlot area that has games and activities before the game. You don't want to be telling them to hurry it up because you want to see first pitch.

There's really not a bad seat in that ballpark. If you're on a budget, the 420's or 320's are decent since you have the canopy and a nice breeze as the sun goes down. Food is pretty standard across the park. Customer service at the concessions is hit/miss, but usually a miss (Delaware North, the food service contractor, has been pretty abysmal for the organization and I'd be surprised if they renew their contract at the end of the year). I'd recommend hitting up one of the restaurants in the Battery before the game.

If you have a little more dough I'd spring for the Infiniti Club.

Check the Hampton Inn off Circle 75.

8 and 6. Definitely want to catch BP one day. Was hoping they'd get to run the bases after Sunday's game but looks like it's moved to Monday.

A team that's leading their division by 5.5 games? What a dumb take.

It might be a little lite banter between two friends who are fans of rival baseball teams

Maybe
