Turner Field - Atlanta, GA

We drove into downtown Atlanta from our friend's house in Bishop, GA for the 1:30 pm game.  We parked at a surface lot that was about a half mile from the stadium for $10.00.  We entered through the center field gates where there is a large festive family area.  Throughout the concourses there were many activities for families and kids.  It was pretty busy even though there were almost two hours left before game time.



We wandered through the main level concourse and then made our way to where our seats were located in the club level.  The club level looked more like a hotel lobby than a stadium.  There were nice leather chairs throughout and it was air conditioned to a perfect temperature.  Throughout the concourse there were individual gourmet food sections - sushi, pasta, crepes, etc. Everything looked and smelled terrific.

Our seats were covered and in the shade for about the first half of the game and it was pretty comfortable.  During the second half of the game we were in the sun and it was a little warm.  It was a fantastic game against the Washington Nationals.  It was back and forth and Atlanta ended up winning in the bottom of the ninth with a walk off RBI single by Freddie Freeman.

After the game we walked through the heat back to our car and left for Athens, TN to visit Tina's mom for a few days.
