I sat in seats in the outfield and they felt like I was right on the field. The Braves fans that were around me were very passionate and knowledgeable about the game as I got into several discussions with a few around me that were season ticket holders. I am sure there are fans that go to the game just to go, but I know the author was not able to talk to each and every fan that was there.

The cool thing to me was that I was able to send my teenage girl with our youngest child to the Cartoon Network play area and it allowed us to enjoy the rest of the game instead of dealing with restless children after the 6th inning.

I applaud this site for its reviews because this is exactly what I was look for as a baseball experience in an opponents stadium. The pizza place he talks about was to die for, thanks again.

I live in Atlanta. The stadium/experience described in this article is pure fiction.

While I have only been to 11 different MLB parks the experience at a Braves game ranks near the bottom in every categoty compared to other parks.

What is the purpose of this site if they are going to let homers put on rose colored glasses and write a “review” of the ball park where they live?

As a fan of a visiting team, Turner Field was a nice place to take in a ball game, but there was absolutely nothing special about it, especially when compared to other modern ballparks such as Camden Yards or Coors Field. It was rather bland, dull and uninteresting. You get the feeling that they could have done so much more with the place.

I second the comments above in regard to the general apathy of Braves fans – during my visit, the fans of the visiting team were just as loud if not louder than the Braves fans. They were not “awesome” by any stretch of the imagination. And there isn’t much history in the park, despite the author’s mention of “the longest continuously running franchise in baseball history” (and much of that history was spent in other cities, so how is that relevant to this ballpark?). A few statues don’t make a great atmosphere. The food was good from my experience, though a few vendors near my section ran out of water on a hot summer day. And 5 extra points for a Cartoon Network play zone? Please, come on.

It’s a nice place, but it is certainly nowhere near the top major league ballpark.

I lived in NYC for 15 years used to go to Shea about ten times a season. In the left field seats, in the loge level, it was pretty routine to sit where there would be a grown man constantly screaming “Maddux is a faggot!” or something along those lines. At Turner, you can take your eight year old to a ballgame and not have to deal with that kind of creepy bullshit masquerading as “passion”.

I would give their fans a 2/5. After buying the $$ tickets behind the Mets dugout, I consistently find myself seated by people on blind dates asking getting to know you quesions, families that are more concerned about cotton candy than baseball and fans with very little baseball intelligence.

I will say that the environment as a Mets fan is not as hostile as you would think on enemy territory, but it’s also sad to see fans leave a 1-run game in the 8th to “beat traffic”.

If you’re a passionate baseball snob, these fans will make you crawl in your skin.

I actually really like everything else about the park. The inexpensive tickets are a double edge sword, because it allows people into the “high priced” seats who don’t need to be in those seats. In other words, I cannot pay any amount of money to get away from the “casual fan”.
