The 2018 Atlanta Braves Spring Training schedule includes some great matchups. The Braves will face several American League clubs at Champion Stadium, giving fans a unique opportunity to see players they may not catch during the regular season in Atlanta. Key games includes, the Detroit Tigers, New York Mets, and New York Yankees.
Spring training typically starts in mid-February and continues until just before Opening Day of the regular season, traditionally the first week of April. The Atlanta Braves travel to Kissimmee, FL for Spring Training at Champion Stadium in the 220-acre ESPN World Wide Sports Complex.
Champion Stadium was opened in 1997 and has a seating capacity of 9,500. It is a double-decker stadium with sky boxes, open air suites, and patios. Ample food and beverage options are available, including craft beer and specialty hot dogs. A gift shop is also on site for those who wish to purchase Atlanta Braves souvenirs and paraphernalia.
Spring Training visitors need to make sure they are stocked with the proper supplies. Warmer temperatures are a draw for many, as the weather warms up in Florida compared to the cooler temperatures up North. Be sure to bring sunscreen, water, pens and paraphernalia if you want autographs from the players. Crowds can be sparse on non-game practice days, and you can get close to the action and possibly score some autographs. If fans hang out around the backfield areas where the team and coaches enter and exit, there is prime opportunity to grab autographs and see your favorite players. Game days during Spring Training CAN sell out, depending on the team the Braves play that day, so be sure to get your tickets ahead of time!
