ATLANTA (March 26, 2024) – Today, the defending National League East Champion Atlanta Braves released details on what’s new at Truist Park and The Battery Atlanta for the 2024 season. From newly redesigned group seating, hospitality, concessions, and retail spaces to new food and beverage offerings, there is something new for every fan to enjoy.

TRUIST PARK RENOVATIONS

The Atlanta Braves have unveiled upgrades to Truist Park ahead of the 2024 season, including new and improved group seating, hospitality, concessions, and retail spaces. These projects are part of a multiphase plan for improvements to Truist Park.

• Lexus Premium Boxes – The Lexus Premium Box is a first-class season lease and hospitality concept that will offer unparalleled amenities for groups of 8 to 14 guests. The naming rights to the new Lexus Premium Boxes as well as the Lexus Level, previously known as the Terrace (200) Level, are part of a new partnership, in which Lexus has been named the Official Luxury Vehicle of the Atlanta Braves.
• Blue Moon Beer Garden – This season, the former Xfinity Rooftop received a major renovation for the build out of the new Blue Moon Beer Garden, offering the largest variety of Molson Coors beer options and unique food pairings that can't be found anywhere else at the ballpark. To ensure we have the best beer assortment for fans, John Legnard, the head brew master at Blue Moon, has been working on new flavors and brew collaborations that have been specifically chosen and created for the new beer garden destination at Truist Park. The space will also feature food stalls local to Braves Country like Fred’s Meat & Bread, Beer Garden Bites, a new food concept inspired by traditional beer garden foods, Conecuh Sausage Co. All fans can visit the beer garden once inside the ballpark, and the existing group hospitality space which overlooks the field was expanded for a total capacity of up to 210 fans.
• Jim Beam Bourbon Decks and 60 Ft. 6 In. Bar – Left field will feature a new group space called the Jim Beam Bourbon Decks behind sections 142 and 143. The Jim Beam Bourbon Decks will include private access to the new Jim Beam 60 Ft. 6 Bar, which will also serve customers on the concourse. Comprised of two bars with a combined length of 60’ 6” to mirror the distance between the pitcher’s mound and home plate, the new space will feature a one-of-a-kind lighting fixture and game-used pitching rubber and home plate inset into the bar top.
• Braves Clubhouse Store at Truist Park – The Braves Clubhouse Store at Truist Park is being expanded to include an additional 1500 square feet and redesigned to provide a premium retail experience. There will be a dedicated jersey walk-up shop, which will house most of the jersey selection in the store, and an added game-used merchandise section. The layout of the store will be adjusted to improve the flow and ease for shoppers. In addition to the physical store renovations, the Braves Clubhouse Store at Truist Park will deploy a new point of sale system and double the checkouts for an expedited experience. The store will celebrate its Grand Opening on Tuesday, April 2.
• Belle Glos Back Porch – The newly rebranded Belle Glos Back Porch in center field accommodates 100-150 fans in a laidback patio environment with a new platform for enhanced views of the field.

‘WE ARE BRAVES COUNTRY’ CAMPAIGN

This season, the Braves launched a new marketing campaign aimed at reaching Braves fans across the country. ‘We Are Braves Country’ is a phrase representing the strong Braves fan base across the world, rooted in the Southeast but transcending geographic location. Whether in Atlanta, Nashville, or Birmingham – our fans are a part of Braves Country.

ATLANTA BRAVES FOUNDATION 50/50 RAFFLE PRESENTED BY HARRAH’S CHEROKEE CASINOS

This season, for the first time ever, fans located anywhere in Georgia can participate in the Atlanta Braves Foundation 50/50 Raffle presented by Harrah’s Cherokee Casinos. Rolling jackpots will be open during select Braves road series and will conclude with a drawing after the 8^th inning at the following home game.
