Stadium Report Cards: Turner Field

Team: Atlanta Braves
Location: Atlanta, GA
League: Major League Baseball(NL)
Built: 1996
Capacity: 50,096
My event: Regular season game, vs Philadelphia Phillies

1. Outdoor Design
Built for the Olympics, this was one of the better stadiums I've seen. A basic 90s ballpark made of brick.
8/10

2. Indoor Design

So very cool. Behind the scoreboard, there was a big plaza with the team shop, a kids park, bands, and other fun stuff. There was stuff all along the inside part under the seats.
10/10

3. Prices
I'm use to cheap Tropicana field tickets, so this was a little pricey. We sat first row, upper deck, on the first base side. It cost(I think) about 20 dollars. But on the lower part, it's up there in price.
6/10

4. Food
Meh, average ballpark foods. Got your hotdogs, burgers, ect.
6/10

5. Staff
From what I remember, the staff was pretty good. The mascot was fun, and the people checking tickets were too.
7/10

6. Cleanliness
No problems at Turner.
7/10

7. Parking
Before Turner, the Braves played at Fulton County Stadium, which was right next door. When they finished Turner, they demolished it, leaving a HUGE parking lot.
10/10

8. Atmosphere

The game I went to was a big division rivalry with the Phillies. It was a FOX Saturday game too, so that added to it. Everyone stayed till the very end, where we saw the Braves beat the Phillies on a walk-off single. A lot better than what I'm use to in Tampa
9/10

9. Playing Surface.
It was amazing. The crew got it clean fast, and it was mowed fantastically.
9/10

10. Scoreboard

It was huge, and HD. Very nice.
8/10

New high score! A score of 80/100 is what Turner Field receives. It'll be hard to beat.
