    yeah, but don't sit up in the rafters like you did in philly and baltimore on your recent trip. :laugh1:

    a tip on scoring good seats...if you are willing to fork over the dough. each morning, the braves release dugout level seats that they are not using for players/front office/sponsors. They are available on Ticketmaster for face value...but with all the fees, you are gonna be looking at about 50 bucks a pop. good seats though. picked up three together for the Cubs series back in April.

    True. The Braves are starting to look like the Horner led Braves all over. Buy a General Admission ticket and go sit on the bench next to the player of your choice.

    tickets have been pretty easy down there for several years. When i lived there during the 2002 season, i saw over 40 games. paid for one. never sat outside the bases.

    have a good time. the number one thing i miss about being down there is the easy access to Turner Field from where i lived. 20 minutes door to door. takes me an hour and a half to get to Yankee or Shea now.

    not for me, it's not. you can park down there for 8-10 bucks easy. take I-85 south to Fulton Street and take a left. Park at any one of the Braves lots around the ballpark.

    I thought Marta was $1.75 each way. to each his own though. maybe you are worried about downtown during the week, but for a weekend series, the traffic is nothing unless you wait until just before game time to get to the ballpark. i would rather shell out a couple extra bucks to save a half an hour each way every day.

    it may be $1.75, that sounds more like it. either way, i hate driving downtown anywhere, so it works great for me.

    actually, the best way to get there is eat and get drunk at jock's and jill's and take their free shuttle, then eat and get drunk some more after the game.

    oh yeah, the Jock's shuttle works. Used to do that one to the Ga Dome from time to time.
