You’ll step into hidden corners of Atlanta’s Truist Park on this Braves stadium tour: walk through Monument Garden, sit in the dugout where legends have been, and hear stories from your local guide. The feeling of an empty ballpark sticks with you long after — plus you get to keep a Retired Number chain as a souvenir.
I’ll admit, I didn’t expect to get nervous just walking into a baseball stadium — but standing under the bright lights of Truist Park in Atlanta, with the seats empty and echoing, it felt like we’d snuck in after hours. Our guide, Marcus, handed out these chunky Retired Number chains (he joked they’re “bling for true fans”) and pointed us towards the press box first. The view from up there is wild — you can almost hear the crowd even when it’s dead quiet.
We wandered through spots you never see on TV: the Hank Aaron Terrace (the wall of bats was kind of hypnotic), then down to the Xfinity Club where everything smells faintly like popcorn and leather. Marcus kept tossing out little stories — apparently Chipper Jones once tripped over his own shoelaces right by the dugout. I tried sitting where the players do; those seats are harder than they look. At Monument Garden, my friend tried to pronounce “Below the Chop” with a Georgia accent and got some laughs from a couple of locals tagging along.
The Braves Hall of Fame had this weird hush, like everyone’s holding their breath. I stood in front of Hank Aaron’s jersey for longer than I meant to — something about seeing it up close made me feel small in a good way. We finished near the field, sunlight bouncing off empty rows. It was hotter than I expected for spring, but honestly? I still think about that silence in the dugout sometimes.
