Truist Park is the home of the Atlanta Braves in Cumberland, Georgia
Truist Park opened in 2017 in Cumberland, a suburb northwest of downtown Atlanta. The stadium replaced Turner Field, which the Braves used for 20 seasons. Truist Park sits about 12 miles from downtown Atlanta and is accessible by car, rideshare, or the MARTA transit system.
The ballpark holds 41,149 people and is built around The Battery Atlanta, a mixed-use development with restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues. You can arrive hours before game time and spend time in the surrounding area without entering the stadium itself.
The stadium's design emphasizes sightlines — most seats have an unobstructed view of the field. The upper deck is closer to the action than in many older ballparks, and even standing-room-only tickets give you a view of the diamond.
Key Takeaways
- Truist Park is located in Cumberland, about 12 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta, and you can reach it by car, rideshare, or MARTA transit.
- Parking at the stadium itself fills up on game days, so arriving at least two hours early or using rideshare can save time and frustration.
- Ticket prices vary by opponent, day of the week, and how close you are to game time — weekday games against weaker teams are typically cheaper than weekend games against division rivals.
- You can bring a small bag into the stadium, but weapons, outside food, and glass containers are prohibited.
- The Battery Atlanta surrounding the stadium has restaurants and bars, but food and drink inside the stadium are more expensive than outside options.
Getting to Truist Park by car or transit
If you drive, the stadium address is 755 Battery Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30339. GPS and mapping apps will route you there directly. Parking at Truist Park itself costs between $15 and $25 depending on the lot and how far in advance you reserve. Lots fill up on weekends and against popular opponents, so arriving two hours before first pitch gives you the best selection.
If you want to avoid parking hassles, rideshare services (Uber, Lyft) operate at the stadium. Drop-off is on the north side of the building. Pickup after the game can take 30 to 45 minutes because many people leave at once, so be prepared to wait or walk a few blocks away from the stadium to find your driver faster.
MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority) runs a direct train line to Truist Park. The station is called Braves Station and is on the red line. The ride from downtown Atlanta takes about 25 minutes. This is often faster than driving and parking, especially on weekend games when traffic is heavy. A single MARTA fare costs $2.50 each way.
Seating sections and where to sit
Truist Park has field-level seats, lower bowl, upper deck, and standing-room-only areas. Field-level seats run along the baselines and behind home plate — these are the most expensive and sell out first. Lower bowl seats are behind the field-level section and offer good views at a lower price. Upper deck seats are farthest from the field but still provide clear sightlines because the stadium is designed with steep angles.
The left field corner and right field corner have obstructed-view seats that are discounted because pillars block part of the field. These seats are cheaper but you will miss some plays depending on where you sit. Standing-room-only tickets are the cheapest option and let you stand in designated areas along the concourse — you do not have an assigned seat.
Sections 101 through 140 run around the field. Lower numbers (101–110) are behind home plate and along the first base line. Higher numbers (120–140) are along the third base line and in the outfield corners. The upper deck uses sections 201 through 240 with the same layout. Check the stadium map on the Braves website before you buy to see which sections face which direction and how far they are from the field.
Ticket prices and how they change
Ticket prices at Truist Park vary widely based on the opponent, day of the week, and how close the game is. A weekday game against a non-division opponent might have tickets starting at $20 to $30 for upper deck standing room. A weekend game against the New York Mets or Philadelphia Phillies could start at $50 to $75 for the same seats. Opening Day and playoff games are the most expensive.
Prices also drop as game time approaches if seats are still available. A game that costs $60 a week before might cost $35 the day before if the Braves are not playing well or the opponent is weak. Conversely, prices can spike if a popular player is returning from injury or if the Braves are in a playoff race.
You can buy tickets through the official Braves website, Ticketmaster, StubHub, SeatGeek, and other resale platforms. The official Braves website sometimes has presales for season ticket holders before tickets go on general sale. Resale platforms often have cheaper tickets than the primary market, especially for games further away.
What you can bring into the stadium
Truist Park allows one small bag per person — a purse, backpack, or small tote no larger than 16 inches by 16 inches by 8 inches. Clear bags are not required but make security screening faster. You can bring a camera with a detachable lens, binoculars, and a phone.
You cannot bring outside food, outside beverages (including alcohol), glass containers, cans, or weapons of any kind. This includes pocket knives, pepper spray, and firearms. Umbrellas are allowed but are not permitted in certain seating areas during the game.
Coolers, hard-sided bags, and luggage are not allowed. If you arrive with a prohibited item, security will ask you to leave it at the gate or return it to your car — they will not hold items for you. Plan ahead and leave prohibited items at home or in your vehicle.
Food, drinks, and concessions inside the stadium
Concession stands throughout Truist Park sell hot dogs, nachos, pizza, sandwiches, salads, and regional options. Prices are typical for a major league stadium — a hot dog costs around $12 to $15, a beer around $10 to $12, and a soft drink around $7 to $9. These prices are higher than outside the stadium, so eat before you arrive if you want to save money.
The Battery Atlanta outside the stadium has restaurants and bars where you can eat before or after the game at lower prices. You can leave the stadium and return with a ticket stub or digital ticket on your phone — the Braves allow re-entry on the same day. This is a good option if you want a full meal rather than concession stand food.
Truist Park has a few premium dining options if you have a club-level ticket, including a club lounge with complimentary food and drinks. These tickets are significantly more expensive than general admission but include the meal and beverage cost in the ticket price.
Accessibility and accommodations
Truist Park has wheelchair-accessible seating throughout the stadium, accessible parking in the north lot, and accessible restrooms on every level. The stadium has elevators to reach upper deck sections. Service animals are allowed, and emotional support animals are allowed with documentation.
If you need an accessible seat, buy your ticket through the official Braves website or call the ticket office at (404) 522-7630. Accessible parking requires a valid disabled parking permit and should be reserved in advance. The accessible parking lot is closest to the main entrance.
Companion seating (a seat next to an accessible seat for a caregiver or family member) is available. The Braves also offer assisted listening devices and closed captioning in certain areas. Contact the stadium directly if you need specific accommodations — staff can often arrange solutions that are not listed online.
Game day timing and what to expect
Gates typically open two hours before first pitch. Arriving early gives you time to find parking, get through security, and explore the stadium before the game starts. Security lines move faster if you arrive more than 90 minutes before game time. On busy days (weekends, holidays, popular opponents), lines can stretch 30 to 45 minutes.
Most games start at 7:10 p.m. on weekdays and 7:10 p.m. or 1:10 p.m. on weekends. Some games start at 4:10 p.m. or 10:10 a.m. depending on television schedules. Check the Braves schedule to confirm the exact start time for your game.
Plan to stay until the end of the game if you drive — parking lots do not clear until 45 minutes to an hour after the final out. If you use MARTA or rideshare, you can leave when ready after the game ends, though you may wait in a crowd at the station or for your driver to arrive.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my own food and drinks into Truist Park?
Outside food and beverages are not allowed. You can eat at restaurants in The Battery Atlanta before or after the game and re-enter the stadium with your ticket. This is often cheaper than buying food inside the stadium.
What is the best way to get to Truist Park if I do not want to drive?
MARTA's red line runs directly to Braves Station, which is the closest transit stop to the stadium. The ride from downtown Atlanta takes about 25 minutes and costs $2.50 each way. Rideshare is also an option but can be slow after the game when many people are leaving at once.
Are upper deck seats worth the price difference from standing room?
Upper deck seats give you a may provide place to sit and a clear view of the field. Standing room is cheaper but you stand the entire game and may not see every play depending on where you stand. If you plan to stay for the full game, an upper deck seat is usually more comfortable.
Can I leave the stadium and come back with my ticket?
Yes, the Braves allow re-entry on the same day with a valid ticket. This is useful if you want to eat at a restaurant in The Battery Atlanta or take a break during the game. Show your ticket stub or digital ticket at the gate when you return.
How early should I arrive on a weekend game?
Arrive at least two hours before first pitch on weekends. This gives you time to park, get through security, and find your seat without rushing. On opening day or against a popular opponent, arriving 2.5 to 3 hours early is safer.
