Dammit Atlanta , why are n’t you cry in good order now ! ? Do n’t you know the Braves , aka “ America ’s B - Team , ” are provide us ? It ’s true . And though the statue of Hank Aaron will continue through whatever end up happening to the land , our official status as a city with an MLB team will be technically gone , along with a few other things that we ’ll pretermit .
The Atlanta - Fulton County StadiumWhat will occur to the last remaining wall of the OG Braves bowl , build back when we first slip them from Milwaukee ? Our guess is probably that it will come tumbling down , or if a certain person is elected president , relocate to a stark border town .
Hank Aaron ’s markerThe fencing where Hammerin ’ Hank ’s 715th kor leave the building still stands . It ’s not really like it would have the same collection if you just moved it .

MARTA accessibilityAccording to the site MartaGuide , public transportation will mean pick out a 45min bus ride from the Midtown post , then a 30min walk that takes you through Cumberland Mall and over the interstate highway .
The enigma bathroomHidden behind an oil painting on the 200 degree is a humanity ’s lavatory that is usually always empty , in grammatical case you do n’t have sentence for any other games when it comes to relief .
Autograph hacksRumor has it that on nights when the squad heads out of Ithiel Town for road games , they usually go directly to the airport on the same motorbus that sits behind a roadblock in Turner ’s player parking flock . If you’re able to get behind the stadium a few minutes before the game ends , you ’ll have a better hazard to get correct at the front of the barricade where they room the busbar and get autographs as long as you ’re equipped with stuff like a Sharpie , upright manners , and you recognize , a nice dry patch of tegument .

Bill Murray insultsThe greatest aliveness human being attended a Braves - Cubs biz this year , where he made jokes about Turner Field smell like a burger and settle down for one of our outfielders to run into the paries chasing a tent flap . We ’d allow it again and again , because it ’s flaming Bill Murray .
Flo Rida concertsBecause nothing make it alright to feel the Low , Low , Lows of a lost game quite like a free post - halting concert by your mom ’s favorite doorknocker .
bring your own foodYou could pack sandwiches , chips , and whatever else you feed in a soft cooler and bring it to the game . They ’d even allow you to bring , hem , “ liquid ” to drink as long as it was n’t inebriant – which of class you ’d never do – and was n’t in a glass bottle .

The giant Coke bottleSure , during some abode games , it would have been nice to have a jumbo bottle of Jack or some sort of spiced rum to ease the infliction , but even then you ’d need some big - ass hands and fortify muscles just to hoist the thing up for sipping . candidly , it was just dainty to look at .
theatre of operations toursEntering and exiting through the giving shop , you and whoever ’s kids you borrowed could take a walk around the press box , program cubicle , the bunker , Scouts Alley , and the Braves Museum and Hall of Fame .
The Henry Aaron seatsNo one expects the Braves to just forget about their G.O.A.T. instrumentalist , but even if they name a few seats behind SunTrust Park ’s home plateful after him and have you prescribe nutrient while sitting down , you ’ll be looking at a different view in a different plaza .

David CrossThe comic and local restaurant investor is a lifelong Braves fan who was at the 1995 World Series victory plot and told theAJCthat he ’s probably drop around $ 40k on the team over the years . He ’s now boycotting SunTrust Park .
Ted Turner ’s auraYou ca n’t be inside The Ted and not have visions of the cat - like hair streak run across his top lip as he rides off into the sunset on a bison with Wolf Blitzer and his other CNN homies .
The Chick - fil - A cowThe Big Chicken populate in Cobb County and has a motorize pecker , but Fulton County had something arguably better : a 40ft - tall , tomahawk - chopping Chick - fil - A cow . The cow ’s actually moving with the team to SunTrust Park , after spending a few calendar month in New Orleans getting a makeover that ’ll include 40 gallon of rouge and a new 217,000 - pixel light-emitting diode sign .

Memories of the good timesRemember the 2000 All - Star Game ? Chipper Jones ’ 400th home tally in 2008 ? Andruw Jones ’ eleventh inning paseo - off in ‘ 99 , which transport the Braves to their fifth World Series of the 1990s ? Well , you may really keep remembering them , you ’ll just have to make your nous even more working , since you wo n’t actually be able to reimagine them from wherever you were in the stands .
Reasons to tour MechanicsvilleWell , maybe we wo n’t escape driving through Mechanicsville all that much , and manifestly the area will be redeveloped to look like a vibrant Southside neighborhood or else of a giant fix in the ground , but still . You always felt a little spirited parking somewhere off Ralph David Abernathy and pretending through your toughest mean - mug not to be immoderately scared of the topical anesthetic .
TrafficHaha ! Just playin ’ . Aside from the lucky feeling you get when you ’re already seated at a game before haste hour hits , no one will miss the dealings near the Connector . All yours , Cumberland !
