Braves vs. Mets is trending today, and if the rivalry has you thinking about a trip to Atlanta, Truist Park rewards visitors who show up with a plan. Here’s how to build a full Atlanta itinerary around a game.
1. Truist Park Stadium Tour
On non-game days, a guided tour takes you through the dugouts, press box, and clubhouses, with stops at Coca-Cola Corner, Hank Aaron Terrace, and Monument Garden.
2. The Battery Atlanta
Arrive hours before first pitch to explore this entertainment district next to the stadium — it has kid-friendly activities, restaurants, and bars, and it’s often as much a destination as the game itself.
3. Parking Strategy
Braves-operated lots near the stadium start around $25 for single-game visitors, but the more distant Lot E47 is typically the cheaper option if you don’t mind a longer walk. Pack comfortable shoes from our Men’s Collections for that walk.
4. Downtown Atlanta and the Beltline
If you have extra days, the Atlanta Beltline connects several neighborhoods with a walkable, green path lined with restaurants and public art — a good contrast to the stadium’s entertainment-district energy.
5. Sports Bars Around Truist Park
The lifestyle neighborhood surrounding the stadium is packed with dining and sports bar options, so even if you don’t have tickets, it’s worth visiting on a game night. Bring something versatile from our Women’s Collections that works for both a stadium seat and a night out afterward.
Timing Your Atlanta Trip
Rivalry games like Braves vs. Mets tend to draw bigger crowds and a livelier atmosphere both inside and outside the park, so plan to arrive well before first pitch if you want the full Battery Atlanta experience beforehand.
How early should I arrive at Truist Park for a game?
Arriving a few hours before first pitch is recommended so you have time to explore The Battery Atlanta before heading into the stadium.
Is parking at Truist Park expensive?
Rates start around $25 for Braves-operated lots close to the stadium, though the distant Lot E47 offers a cheaper option for visitors willing to walk further.
What else is there to do in Atlanta besides the game?
The Atlanta Beltline is a popular option for a walkable day of restaurants and public art, offering a nice change of pace from the stadium district.
