About Atlanta's Turner Field...
Catch a baseball game with one of the best teams in the last decade - the Atlanta Braves. Turner Field is among the nicest stadiums in the country with fun, hands-on exhibits, great food and more. Regular season runs from April through September.
The stadium was originally constructed as the 85,000-seat Centennial Olympic Stadium and used for the Centennial 1996 Summer Olympics. Following the games, much of the north end of stadium was removed in order to convert it to its permanent use as a 45,000-seat baseball facility. Turner Field, also known as The Ted, was named after the then owner, Ted Turner.
Turner Field is built in the style of old-time ballparks, but also includes a number of attractions besides the baseball game itself. It's a good idea to come to the game early and take in the various attractions, especially if you have children along. These Turner Field attractions include:
- The Braves Museum and Hall of Fame features memorabilia commemorating legendary stars and key moments in Braves history (take a gander at the bat Hank Aaron used to hit his 715th home run). The museum is open to ticket holders on game days 3 hours before game time and 1 hour after the completion of the game.
- Scouts Alley is designed to teach fans about the fine art of scouting. Fans can test their hitting and throwing skills, call up scouting reports on former and current Braves, play a trivia game, call a play-by-play inning of a game, and much more.
- At The Cartoon Network's Tooner Field, kids can hang out with Cartoon Network characters or play interactive games in the Digital Dugout.
- At The East Pavilion, fans can have their images inserted into either a baseball card or a photo of a great moment in Braves history.
- The Braves Clubhouse Store is full of Braves-themed merchandise, some of which is available only at the stadium.
- Tour Turner Field: Tours depart every half-hour Monday to Saturday 9:30am to 4pm and Sunday 1pm to 4pm on non-game days, and Monday to Saturday 9:30am to noon on game days. Tours include the museum, the dugout, the press box and broadcast booth, the clubhouse, Scouts Alley, and more. Call for tour ticet prices.
