This is the Atlanta Braves Rookie ball club so it's a small ballpark, but has had a number of recent improvements (see list in photos). They play a short season of about ten weeks.
The stadium, called American Legion Field, seats 2,588, so it's cozy and parking is free. It's nestled in Dan Daniel Memorial Park, which has walking and nature trails, picnic shelters, mountain bike/hiking trails, a Riverwalk trail, soccer/football fields, little league baseball fields, playground, and a skate park.
The reserved section is quite comfortable since adding stadium seats and is covered by a roof. They also offer waitress service in this area which is sections A, B & C. The ceiling fans really help when it's warm. The bleacher area is general admission and are not covered. There is protective netting end to end from first base to third just past where each teams dugout ends.
Concessions in the stadium have the basics at very reasonable prices like burgers, hot dogs and fries as well as many sides, snacks, drinks and frozen items. I particularly appreciate no extra charge for cheese or chili on the all beef hot dogs, which are Kunzler brand from Lancaster, PA. There's also barbecue, chicken tenders, bologna burgers, corn dogs and chicken sandwiches. The best bargain is the popcorn that's served piping hot in a very large paper bag which keeps it warm and will feed a family of four.
The crowd is friendly and has a small town family feel about it. The Rookie league doesn't have the glitz and glamour of the higher level farm teams which seems to keep fans more engaged with the actual game itself. There are a few on field fan contests between innings with a prize for the winner and was just enough to keep people entertained. There's also bingo throughout the game and cards are just 50 cents or free in the $2.00 program that comes with the current game's roster.
Their mascot, named Blooper, might have been struggling with the heat the night we were there as it was pretty lackluster, but the kids still seemed to enjoy him. The staff are all friendly and accommodating.
All in all, I really enjoyed the entire experience and would love to come back again! read more
