During two different trips to turner field I realized it doesn’t have that warm feeling anymore. Yeah I understand it’s the middle of October but I’m not talking about that kind of warm. In the past turner field use to be a very welcoming and crowded atmosphere. Now you just have people who are coming to Turner Field to utilize the wonderful grill and bar they have.

During my first trip; I figured maybe I came at the wrong time so Ill return another time. If I could relate this trip to turner field I’d say it was like the library on a Sunday morning. I say this because the library is closed Sunday morning but there are still lots of security around. Even though Turner Field was open, It was completely empty outside of me and my roommate. I could’ve brought by laptop and done homework in peace at that time. My roommate stated that turner field was “dead” and by that he said he meant that it has no life line. For example, turner field is only hit with a lot of traffic when it’s a special event and if there isn’t one then turner field has no use. Being that braves are no longer affiliated with turner field the traffic will always be this way.

He then gave me the idea of coming back on a Saturday night to see what’s it’s like. We went back the following Saturday and I really didn’t believe it. It was a wedding at turner field. A wedding at turner field, on a Saturday night. I wanted to ask a few question, but I wouldn’t want to interfere with someone’s special moment. I thought about how much it would cost and why they picked night time to have the wedding. I came to turner field expecting the same results as the first time; however, I was proven wrong.

Being that didn’t want to interfere with the actual wedding taking place, I talked to the security guard and he told me just because the Braves left doesn’t mean it’s the end of Turner Field. They have events like this all the time he said. He told me they a rented out all the time for concerts, festivals, dinners, marriage proposals, and you can even pay to practice at turner field. That seems pretty amazing.

However as far as traffic, you will no longer have to wait 30 minutes just to make it down the street. Also the parking can now fulfill the attendance at turner field. The security guard stated that since turner field has parted ways with the Braves his job has been way easier. With Georgia state buying turner field and the fan base being way smaller than the braves; Will the traffic at Turner Field ever be the same?
