Atlanta’s team of red and navy blue is adding a couple more colors for one game this month.

The Braves' new SunTrust Park will host its first LGBT Night on June 23 when the team plays the Milwaukee Brewers.

This is the seventh time the Braves say they've joined in on metro Atlanta's June celebration of the LGBT community, complete with a post-game fireworks show.

The $35 ticket buys a seat in the Home Run Porch along with a Braves hat with rainbow lettering.

You can pick up the hat between 6 and 7:30 p.m. at the Xfinity Rooftop near Section 312. There will also be games and a cash bar starting at that time.

The team will also donate $3 from each of those tickets to Lost-n-Found Youth, an Atlanta group that caters to homeless LGBTQ youth.

Groups with 13 or more, should contact Celeste Mercer at 404-614-1401 or celeste.mercer@braves.com.

In 2015, the city temporary installed rainbow crosswalks, but they were removed shortly after Pride festivities.
