This weekend, SunTrust Park (800 Battery Ave. SE, Atlanta) will clear out the Atlanta Braves to instead host back-to-back mega-shows, with Atlanta country heroes the Zac Brown Band loading in Saturday and Journey and Def Leppard — with the Pretenders opening — taking over on Sunday.
For both concerts, fans can arrive early and stay late to sample the restaurants in The Battery Atlanta, adjacent to the stadium. As well, both shows are, as always, rain or shine (umbrellas are permitted in case of the former).
Check mlb.com/braves for a full list of prohibited items, but included on the leave-it-at-home list are alcoholic beverages; bags or purses exceeding 16 inches by 16 inches by 8 inches; camera lenses exceeding 5 inches; folding chairs; firearms and other weapons (knives, Mace, pepper spray, tasers or toy replicas of weapons); laser pointers; fireworks.
Parking passes starting at $20 can be purchased at ticketmaster.com.
There is also a second ride-share pickup area located inside The Battery (we’re told to look for the ample signage for both locations).
