We visited the Home of the Braves nine days before the 9/11 attacks, when American was still innocent and carefree. September 2, 2001 was a gloomy and drizzly day -- hence the poor view of the Atlanta skyline in the photos below. There was a downpour as we drove into Atlanta that morning, and we were hugely relieved that the game was not rained out! The cheaper seats where we sat in the stratospheric nosebleed level gave a great panoramic view of the field (and downtown Atlanta), but you really need binoculars to distinguish the players faces. Turner Field lives up to its reputation as one of the better neoclassical retro stadiums: it is authentic and aesthetically pleasing on several levels.

Me gusto el partido, a pesar de la lluvia, pero ni siquiera habia pensado en como era el estadio. Que importancia tiene eso?

Even when I had a bad seat, the game was watchable and enjoyable. In contrast to Fulton-Country, the field was very viewable (FCS if you sat in the upper deck had a good deal of stand obstructions blocking out a chunk of the field).
There's nothing completely spectacular about the stadium only that it's good to watch a ballgame (which is my #1 criteria!)

Have been a Cub fan for all my life, but was transplanted to Mississippi before getting to see a game at Wrigley. Fortunately, my friend came up with tickets to Turner Field in the Lexus Level. GREAT SEATS my friends. But then again, not too many bad seats from what I could tell at Turner Field. I felt like I was right above Soriano when he belted a homer. The view from our hotel also was over the old County Stadium parking lot with a view of Turner Field. I have already made plans to go back to Atlanta and watch another game @ Turner Field.

I was there in 2000 and in 2006, both day games. The second was unbearably hot. The first time we were in the second deck at the extension of the LF foul line, but the pole wasn’t in the way.The Dodger fans sitting in front of us got up and watched the rest of the game from the bar behind our seats, so we just draped our feet over the backs of their seats. We were VERY comfy. In 2006 we were in the lower deck near the same foul pole. We got up and sat the second half of the game in the cooler part of the stadium. The ushers let us sit in an unoccupied handicapped section. I put our digital camera in movie-mode just in time to see Chipper Jones hit a pinch-hit homer.
In 2006 we got to tour the stadium, which was very informative, taking trips through the clubhouse, the dugouts, the pressbox, and a luxury box. They also have a nice museum, with memorabilia from both Boston and Milwaukee.
Turner Field is a beautiful park. The entrance is behind the OF bleachers. It’s very spacious, paved with brick. And you get a picturesque view of the grandstand when you first walk in. The builders did a great job with the place.
