Tips for Opening Day at Turner Field
- It’s no secret that Opening Day at Turner Field is one of the best Atlanta events in April. Fans won’t want to miss seeing the newly rebuilt Braves team play their first game at home. Tickets to this game are very popular, and the game will likely sell out at the box office and on the secondary market. It’s best to buy your Braves Opening Day tickets as far in advance as possible, so you have a guaranteed seat.
- Parking at Turner Field can be tough for games like Opening Day and Fourth of July. We recommend buying your parking pass ahead of time, and have it printed and ready to go. Also, arrive to the game ahead of time to avoid the traffic which typically occurs on game days. Opening Day traffic will definitely start early!
- Tailgating with your friends and fellow Braves fans can be a great time! Make sure you park in a tailgating-friendly lot, such as the Green Lot or Blue Lot if you’re looking to have a few beers, throw a baseball or play some cornhole before the big game!
