Had such an awesome time at one of the free summer baseball games here at the Braves stadium. if you plan on going though, definitely make sure you bring a hat and sunscreen cause whichever way the sun is facing there's only limited shading. But we went for the brave and Orioles game and it was a lot of fun. We were watching them hit them out the park. My son ended up finding two out in the parking lot and he was super excited to bring a ball home! They have some bites like hotdogs, peanuts, cookies, and also some drinks. They do have an elevator for anyone who needs it and a gift shop downstairs that was open. read more

I actually love this spring training stadium. This is one of the nicer ones I've been to. Good crowd. Well maintain and great space. Concessions a bit expensive but just know that going into it! read more

Nice rather new facility for spring training baseball. Home of the Braves. It was clean and well kept except for the sinks in the Men's room I visited. Food choices were pretty basic hotdogs, peanuts & crackerjacks. Fans were respectful, the game announcer kept making negative comments about the visiting team.it was odd that there was so little Braves team branding. It would be nice to have signage identifying sections from the concourse so you don't have to ask an usher. read more

Cool today park is a great venue for spring training games. Seating is more comfortable ( leg room I'm 6'2") than most arenas. Concessions are expensive -$14 beers $12 hot dogs etc - there is variety from chipotle to dogs to hamburgers tacos mixed drinks etc. One very disappointing and unhealthy situation- the men's room I visited today 3/14 @ Red Sox game had NO RUNNING water to wash up only one bottle of sanitizer. Now I know most men do not wash their hands after taking a dump or holding their privates - but I do and this is a very unhealthy situation for the ticket price you pay and expectation for sanitation. read more

Baseball is back and it's hard to beat the Red Sox versus Braves, even if it's Spring training. This was my first time to this venue and next time I will sit on first base side of field- third base gets all the sun. Nice ballpark with lots of food options but traffic can be a nightmare (Strongly recommend arriving early). Staff was nice - sellout crowd; game ended in a tie. read more

I love this park , but I am a Braves's fan from back in the day and after living outside of Atlanta we couldn't have been more excited when we found spring training would be so close to us. They have great and free parking and we did a little champagne and snacks in the parking lot before the game. Every single employee we came in contact with greeted us and wished us a great time. Lovely fans all around. I told the man sitting next to me that he had permission to jump on top of me to catch a ball if it was about to hit me in the head. No sooner than I said it, here comes one right at me. Let's just say, I'm glad I shaved my legs cause he was all over them trying to get that ball for his grandson. Lol, I was just trying to get out of the way. Everyone was excited but grandpa most of all. Had a delicious chick fil a sandwich and there was no line!!! The website is confusing as one says zero outside beverages and food and another says one bottle of sealed water can be brought in. They let me bring in my water. I'm going to try and post a picture of seats that keep you in the shade. It was nice and windy and the Braves won! The man who got the fly ball said, " sorry I jacked you up a bit!" As we left. It was all in good fun and no head injury here. Can't wait to go back! read more

This is a pretty nice park. However, our experienced suffered by not only having no good available places to sit and consume the food and drinks we purchased, but the strangely belligerent attitudes of the bartenders at the "Tomahawk Tiki Bar" -- not allowing anyone to sit or stand at the substantially sized bar, citing a dubious reason of causing confusion over who is waiting to order a drink and who is not. Somehow every other bar in the country can figure this out, but in this park -- despite the clearly roped off areas to stand in line to order, they just can't deal. I do recommend seeing a ballgame here, but I don't recommend eating and drinking here. read more

Cool Today Park - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Venice, Florida

Great stadium. Very poor on parking for handicapped. Arrived 2 hrs early. Drove by handicapped lot & saw many open spaces. Were directed to another lot & refused entry to the handicapped lot. Leaving they only use 1 lane of traffic when 2 are available. 45 min in a line barely moving! read more

Bottom Line: A new park but a bit generic and needing some kinks to be worked out. My husband and I were excited to check out the brand new Cool Today Park, the Spring Training Home of the Atlanta Braves. Overall it was pretty underwhelming and they have some kinks that they still need to work out. I'll break this down into the pros and cons: Pros: - Pretty approach to the park. Well manicured and nicely landscaped. - A very modern and sheik exterior. Things look new and snazzy. - You can walk all the way around the field and check out views from every angle. I point that out because not all smaller ballparks are like that. - It's easy and fun to peer into the bullpens. - The screen/scoreboard is big for a Spring Training Park. - Big bathrooms and no waits. Family restrooms too. - Friendly staff - Very clean - A huge team store. Two floors of Braves and Grapefruit League gear. - Seating on a grassy berm that is great for kids. No need to try to confine little ones to seats for three hours. - A decent variety of ballpark food - hot dogs, burgers, nachos, soft pretzels, craft beer, etc. - A good amount of much needed shade for a 1pm start time. - Various nice ways to recognize the military. Cons: - Long wait to get to parking lot. We only waited in about 20 minutes of traffic but I heard others say they waited in an hour plus jam. We arrived about 11:30am for a 1pm game. - Inside of park is generic. It needs some more decor on the facade of the building. Some Braves logos or something; even some stripes would help. It looks unfinished. - Some sections didn't seem to be numbered like Section 119. We had to find an usher to point us in the right direction. - Horrendously long wait times for concessions. We were fourth in line at the Chicken Coup and it took 35 minutes to get chicken fingers and fries. Volunteer working concessions kept telling people he couldn't accept credit cards with a chip. - Blaring music at the security checkpoint. People were having a hard time hearing the directions security was giving them. read more

This is a fun place for after work happy hour. They usually have some sort of entertainment and specials. The sunset hot dog plus beer special is a deal! Tonya, the bartender, is a reason to come back all by herself. She is so fun, personable, and provides the guests a memorable experience. read more

Nice place to go for lunch good sandwiches and baseball Atmosphere The baseball stadium is first class Good parking. A very helpful Pleasant staff We went to the outdoor restaurant on the open air fourth floor Food was good. And served hot. The servers were pleasant and we listened to a live band. Will go again. And will attend Soring training and see a few games read more

This might be the best Spring Training Park in South Florida. Parking was easy the stadium was new and easy to navigate. Parking is $10... not the worst for Baseball. But an elegant facility and enjoyable to watch the games. This has been my favorite of three of SWFL stadiums, easy for beers or food. It's well staffed and enjoyable, I hardly saw a line. read more

The Atlanta Braves spring training facility is home to the Atlanta Braves. The facility is located in Venice, Florida. The park is open with limited capacity for fans to attend spring training games. If you get a chance to visit the area stop by this location and catch a game. read more

Gorgeous Park! Beautiful views of game and sunsets! Tiki Bar is a very large bar with great views of the large screen and field. Food is ok for bar food. We had wings, asked for them to be extra crispy and they arrived barely cooked; wing sauce however was fabulous! They typically have fun special beer promotions, but I really wish they had bottled wine. With so many patrons into wine, I think it would be well-received. What I really love is the service! Spectacular!!! Shout out to Tink who has the best customer service on the planet! We will be back, for sure! read more

Great venue for cocktails or beer overlooking the ball field. Friendly bartender and reasonable drink prices.

The staff was very nice, a little crowded around the food stands. The person who runs the music is an absolute jerk. We are Red Sox fans, so at Red Sox games he/she plays nothing but New York music, trying to be funny I guess! Play Atlanta music and support your own team, don't be a jerk! read more

Three stars because we are huge Braves fans and baseball fans. Good sight lines. Our food and drinks were fine. Hot dogs and Land Shark beer. Staff was very friendly. Souvenir shop was very nice with a good selection. We arrived very early so traffic was not an issue. There were enough restrooms. Stayed until the end and leaving took about 15 minutes which is fine. Now the rest of the story. No particular order. You can't walk around the facility, only the stadium. Major bummer for a big fan and something we have done at several other venues. Ribbon scoreboards did not have enough baseball info. Other than video boards very little indication we were at a Braves game. And whoever picked the hand washing sinks in the bathrooms has never washed their hands in a crowded restroom. But Go Braves. Hope it gets better. We will be back next year. read more

I have been to many Spring Training parks in Phoenix and all are nicer than this one. This really surprised me since it is so new. One of the benefits of going to spring training games is seeing mlb up close without all the hassles and cost. The tickets are very expensive for watching mostly minor leaguers. However I could deal with that if there was still a small park feel. Whoever designed the stadium created choke points getting in and out of the stadium and worse in and out of the parking. There is one single exit road that everyone in the stadium uses. Took an hour to go 1 mile. read more

Attended the fireworks on July 4th. The stadium is very nice. Plenty of room for big crowds. Easy access to seating. Seats are pretty comfortable. The restrooms are a great size - no waiting. Nice food options with plenty of registers so a very short wait for service. The best deal I could find was the smoked chicken sandwich with fries at $8. It was delicious, a little spicy, and a pretty big portion. Huge problem for persons with disabilities. Unless you are able to climb the equivalent of 3 flights of stairs, the only way into the stadium is through a very small VIP entrance to access an elevator. At the beginning and end of an event, the wait time to go through security in that tiny space and get a turn in the elevator is pretty long. read more

Went to today's game. Game was great. We had a lunch and game package. Lunch was illegally served. Cold uncooked hotdogs and cheese that was served semi melted, warm, and disgusting. Go for the game. Avoid the food. read more

bumper to bumper traffic to get in. it took 25 minutes to get to the parking lot. From the street. I have been to many spring training stadiums and the traffic hasn't been this much of a bottleneck ever. No handicap parking either. I asked and was told someone could come by and shuttle you. I did see one "shuttle(golf cart)" go by and it was full...4 people. Also, to get in the park you have to walk up a flight or so of stairs. This is 2020, they need to have some access for people with issues. Other then that, the park doesn't stand out in any way...sort of boring. It doesn't even look or feel new. I took a walk around the park and there is a lot of standing areas, with limited viewing. No character! Overall, very disappointing, I doubt that I will be back, I was expecting Brand new, state of the art. read more

The stadium is fantastic and the baseball was good. Everything else was a disaster: - It took us 45 mins to get from US41 to the parking lot. we pre-paid for parking and I was pretty annoyed to see people (who were obviously frustrated with the queues) turn off between/over cones before paying to park anywhere !! The couple of us came in on a different road and it took the 1hr 15 mins. It's a great stadium but there wasn't enough thought given to getting in /out. It will seriously make me reluctant to go again. -Queues for food were long and slow and when we got our dogs they were cold - maybe the staff behind the counter should pay more attention to their customers and less time chatting and joking amongst themselves. - we had dinner reservations and the experience getting in made us nervous, so we left early (as did many other fans) to make sure we got out in a reasonable time. Again, a great stadium but getting in and our experience at the concessions really let things down. read more

Nice ballpark eventually in due time I am sure they will build it up with more shops driving to stadium its basically barren land but that will come I am sure. Overall the layout of the park is nice with the outfield berm. It is very nice and cozy. Many different food options and beers to choose from :) read more

I LOVED going here because it was open air and live music but they literally told us to take our open container of alcohol away from the bar because they closed at 8:00 pm. It was 8:15. The staff were still cleaning and the karaoke person was still packing their equipment. What?!?! Ruined my evening. read more

The reason I'm giving this place 3 stars is only because of the venue. The food for the most part isn't good at all. The fact they have only two craft beers and NO IPA'S on tap is disappointing. Good happy hour special and the 12$ food nights on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are pretty awesome. Overall, I have faith things will get better but right now things are lacking. FYI, Candy the bartender is FANTASTIC!! Knowledgeable and friendly! read more

Almost 1.5 hours of traffic waiting to get into the parking lot. Absolutely horrible and inexcusable. Will never return. Stadium should be closed until the the traffic nightmare is fixed. read more

It is hard to imagine that these hapless fools could have done a worse job getting people into the ballpark on opening day. Literally sat on US 41 for over an hour trying to get to the game. Very disappointed. Had considered getting season tickets as I am a huge Braves fan. Thank God I didn't. Oh well. 2 trips in 1: the first and the last. read more
