    I booked Holiday Inn Express Downtown - about a 10 minute walk to the venue.
    Likewise.

    Highly recommend pre gaming here. Maybe a 10 minute walk to arena. Real German feel. Big German beers.

    Anyone serious about heading out to Gwinnett for the Stripers (fun experience), I highly recommend La Mixteca Tamale House which is a few exits south of Stripers. Really good authentic Mexican.

    Do you know how far it is from downtown ATL to the Stripers ballpark?
    A long ass way, especially with work traffic. 1.5-2 hour drive. No traffic, 35-40 minutes.
    Thanks........so much for that idea!

    I booked 

    The American Hotel Atlanta Downtown, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

    (did a cut and paste job out of laziness!)

    $250/night all-in.........looks to be a 10 minute walk to the venue.

    Has anyone done a Truist Park tour? Wondering if it’s worth the time & $. 
    I’m shocked at how expensive it is to watch batting practice.

    I have an Airbnb booked across the street from Ponce for a potential big group coming, and a hotel booked in Buckhead if it’s a smaller group. Both options ok for after the shows? Seems like might need to Uber from Ponce

    Not sure exactly where you are on Ponce. You might have to Uber. Buckhead is a definite Uber.

    Buckhead could be an easy MARTA train ride.  There's a station just outside the north side of State Farm.

    I got the Hilton Garden Inn next to Buckhead station. $130/night after taxes, two beds, and free cancellation. Looks like a 15 minute ride if the trains run past 11:15pm

    Do they usually mention when set locations will be revealed....can't seem to remember if they give us warning, or if the seat locations just show up a bit after the lottery is conducted.

    I'm a Braves season ticket holder and have done the tour many times. It's very well worth it for the price. You get the press box, the ritzy clubs, and depending if it's game day, you will get a peek at the cages and clubhouse. They have also begun giving out Hall of Famer necklaces for each person on the tour. Plan to eat in the Battery, as well. There's also a nice record store there, a Baseballism, and other shopping spots. Holler at me with any other questions.

    Definitely wait but expect to still pay a bit. The Dodgers are a huge draw.

    Thanks very much! Really appreciate it. Hopefully we get lucky with ticket confirmation today and the planning can begin 🤞
