Let me say this: Truist Park really didn't stand a chance after having been at the Texas Rangers game two days ago.
However, even if we hadn't just been to an amazing ballpark, we probably would still feel the same.
Truist Park was...ok.
Nothing great. It was perfectly fine and I'd place it somewhere in the middle of my rankings of all the MLB stadiums we've been to.
The building itself is nice, and obviously it's pretty new so things are in good shape, but it didn't seem to be very well run. Congestion everywhere, unbelievably long lines at every concession stand, and not particularly friendly employees. Also, there's always an intangible quality to every stadium and arena we go to - the fans. Sometimes the fans are great, and other times, not so much. The fans at tonight's game? So-so. Overall, I'd rate Truist Park as average compared with our other experiences.
One really nice thing was that Hank Aaron was being celebrated, so there were lots of career highlights shown. He was an incredible player and ambassador for the game!
We had three empty seats beside us because one of my best friends, along with her husband and their adorable son, were supposed to attend the game, too! However, they ended up changing their travel plans, and we missed being able to see them tonight! Atlanta is one of their teams, so I'm sure it would have been fun to watch the game with actual Braves fans!
We're now down to only three new stadiums we need to get to - Miami, Minnesota, and St. Louis. Neither schedule for Minnesota or St. Louis worked out with the driving trip, but we're thrilled to have attended games in Cincinnati, Dallas, and Atlanta in the past few weeks! Maybe we'll get to the remaining ones next summer!
Happy Tails to you!
