The Braves’ gate giveaways at SunTrust Park this season will include commemorative tickets on opening night and, later in the season, Hank Aaron replica statues.
The Braves recently announced their lineup of promotions and giveaways for their first season in the new ballpark.
All fans at the April 14 home opener against the Padres will receive a commemorative ticket.
The Braves said the opening weekend series also will feature pre- and post-game concerts in the plaza adjacent to the stadium, on-field ceremonies and flyovers and, before the Sunday April 16 game, “a special kids Opening Day.”
Replicas of SunTrust Park’s new Aaron statue will be given to the first 20,000 fans at the Aug. 18 game against the Reds.
Other gate giveaways include five previously announced bobbleheads: Ender Inciarte on May 19, Bartolo Colon on June 9, Dansby Swanson on June 16, Matt Kemp on July 14 and Freddie Freeman on Aug. 25. All of those dates are Friday nights, and the first 20,000 fans get the bobbleheads.
Early-season giveaways include magnetic schedules to all fans at the April 15-16 games and spring-training tomahawk caps to the first 20,000 fans at the May 5 game.
Regular promotions will include fireworks after Friday night games and “Kids Run the Bases” events after Sunday games.
