Also open year-round, the new Braves Clubhouse Store at SunTrust Park will feature all the gameday gear you and your family needs – from hats and jerseys to collectibles and memorabilia. And of course, bobbleheads. You can't take home the larger-than-life bobblehead statues such as the Dale Murphy statue pictured, but you likely can find a much more practical size to take with you.

 

 

 

Fan plaza and The Battery AtlantaFan Plaza at SunTrust Park
What modern-day ballpark would be complete with a fan plaza? But SunTrust Park takes it to a new level. The large fan plaza and the 400,000 square feet of office and retail space within the adjacent Battery Atlanta provides sports fans in Atlanta with gameday (and year-round) opportunities they've never experienced. For example, the Coca-Cola Roxy is back to host concerts and other live events, several internationally renowned chefs are opening restaurants, and out-of-towners soon will be able to book a luxury stay at The Omni Hotel.

According to the Braves, SunTrust Park is the perfect marriage of classic ballpark feel, modern amenities and Southern hospitality, creating a fan experience unlike any other. In addition to all of the great baseball you can expect to see this season at SunTrust Park, the facility itself is simply fantastic to look at. This is a new breed of ballpark, as the designers put it, and will usher in a new era of sports entertainment – not just for Atlanta but for major cities around the country.

 

BONUS: Mizuno Experience Center at The Battery Atlanta
Mizuno Experience CenterThe Mizuno Experience Center is much more than a store selling baseball bats and gloves. It is an interactive environment that immerses athletes and fans in the history, innovation, and craftsmanship that has inspired Mizuno gear for more than 110 years. A first-of-its-kind facility, the Center showcases the breadth of Mizuno baseball, softball, golf, volleyball, and running gear — including many custom-made options. And young Braves fans who may not have a baseball glove, but would relish the chance to catch a fly ball or home run ball, can rent gloves from Mizuno during the games.
