During our annual vacation we ALWAYS catch at least one Braves game and this year was no exception, but due to their schedule we could only catch one game, against the Phillies. A traffic delayed journey down from Helen we arrived in the Blue parking lot just minutes ahead of the thunder storm, we purchased our $1 skyline seats and took cover in the stadium watching the downpour and the lightening force the groundsmen to cover the diamond.
Food, drink and ample shopping kept us entertained until the game started at 9:00PM. The Braves tried their best in a very damp Turner Field but the Phillies pitcher had other plans and we went down 5-1.
As a family we all love the fact that people are there for the love of the game and the enjoyment of the spectacle that is baseball. Coming from a UK soccer background where terrace fighting was the norm, it is a joy to be able to just enjoy the game. See you again next year guys!
