Atlanta Braves' Fans...stadium question

[stevenpensacola]

Got a question for you...We'll be taking a group of Boy Scouts to an upcoming Braves game. Best reasonably priced seats we could get where we could all sit together are in section 233...right field...looks to be right on the end of the foul line.

My question is....game starts at 4, and, much to my chagrin, it appears we will be facing west...looking into the slowly setting sun...

How miserable are we going to be? Will we be sitting in a solar oven?...with our retina's being burned out?...enviously glaring at the folks sitting in the shade on the other side of the field?

thanks for any input you can provide

It depends on the weather - so hope for at least a cloudy day! We usually sit in the Golden Moon Casino Area and it usually isn't too bad. But, you may have some of the sun. I would just make sure everyone has sunblock on, I would imagine they would all wear their baseball caps and get plenty of cool drinks. If it gets too hot, you can always move up to the higher seats that are better covered and come back when the sun sets. The ushers are usually more than willing to help you out. Have fun! I love going to Braves games! Also, you may want to check with Will Call when you get there to see if they can switch out your tickets to a different section. It can't hurt to ask! But, I think you will be fine.

When are you coming?

we'll be there this Saturday...

we have a group of 18 kids and adults.

we went ahead and purchased parking tickets ahead of time...blue lot...was that a smart thing to do...seemed wise to us.

Well you picked the one weekend we were UNDER the 90s! Not sure about the sun but you can bet it will be hot. Have fun, a bunch of my co workers are going to that game, too!

I don't go unless I have a booth!

It's Atlanta in summer time. Unless it's cloudy (like a thunderstorm) wear sunglasses/hats and lots of sunscreen. It's also humid.

They don't call it Hotlanta for nothing.

It's a great stadium though and if you go early they have a special section of activities for little kids.

Have fun!

You are going to have a great time! I love going to the Braves games- I live in Memphis and don't get to go enough! I think it was smart on your part to get parking ahead of time. Sometimes it can be hard to park nearby, depends on the team playing. And it's one less thing to have to deal with. I really don't think you'll have too much trouble with the temps, not really any different than Pcola, if you are used to being outside much. But, you'll be in the sun for a long time, since the sun doesn't set till about 9pm this time of year in Atlanta.
