Here are some helpful tips from the Braves for those attending the home opener.

  • Parking lots will open at 2:00 p.m. and the Turner Field gates will open at 2 ½ hours before first pitch.
  • Fans must pre-purchase parking as Braves parking lots will be PERMIT ONLY. 
  • If fans have not pre-purchased their parking, the Braves are encouraging everyone to take alternate transportation to Turner Field. The MARTA Braves shuttle begins its run 90 minutes prior to first pitch from the Underground Atlanta/Five Points MARTA station to Turner Field until one hour after the final out. 
  • For those fans who may want to arrive at the ballpark before the MARTA Braves shuttle begins its game operation MARTA recommends catching any one of three other available bus routes - the #32, the # 49 or the # 55. All three bus lines may be caught at the Five Points MARTA station and all three routes stop at points adjacent (i.e. Hank Aaron Drive, Pollard Blvd) to Turner Field.
  • Braves ticket windows will open at 9:30 a.m. on Opening Day for fans who would like to purchase standing room only tickets ($17 in advance/$21.00 the day of the game) or pick up pre-purchased tickets in advance and will remain open until the end of the 6th inning. 
  • Fans are encouraged to be seated by 6:20 p.m. for the special pregame ceremonies that will welcome the 2013 season and their Atlanta Braves.

Here are the Opening Day activities: 

  • National anthem performance by country music star, Rodney Atkins. He will also perform pregame in Fan Plaza.
  • Special pregame ceremony to introduce 2013 Atlanta Braves, including a special performance by the Georgia Southern University Southern Pride Marching Band.
  • A flyover across Turner Field by four T6s of the historic Dixie Wing of the Commemorative Air Force.
  • Former third baseman Chipper Jones will throw out the ceremonial first pitch and Dale Murphy will be the game's Honorary Team Captain.
  • Atlanta Opera singer and Turner Field favorite, Timothy Miller will perform God Bless America, followed by the reigning 2013 Miss America, Mallory Hagan, who will lead the fans in singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the seventh inning stretch. 
  • Foam Tomahawk Giveaway - The first 45,000 fans through Turner Field's gates will take home a Braves foam tomahawk.
