When a fresh Atlanta Braves season begins in a few weeks, fans will likely notice several changes to the gameday experience around the eight-year-old ballpark.  

Those will include a new Truist Park food hall—dubbed the Outfield Market—and an open-air bar space adjacent to the famed Chop House, as team officials announced today. 

Consisting of eight food stalls, the Outfield Market is scheduled to debut ahead of the Braves’ home opener on April 4. It’ll be located on the Right Field Concourse, directly across from another new feature: a lounge section called The Pen above the Braves bullpen in right field. 

The food hall’s culinary roster has yet to be released, but team officials say it will “showcase flavors from across Braves Country and beyond.” (The Braves announced a regional search at the end of last season for fan-recommended grub from across the South.) Other food options will come from stadium catering partner Delaware North.

Other aspects will include a communal dining area, a 470-square-foot LED screen showing game action, and a Braves retail shop.

Meanwhile, a new open-air concept called Closer’s Bar will also be opening for this season. It’ll be situated adjacent to the Coors Light Chop House (just inside the Chop House Gate). Expect “an elevated cocktail menu with rotating signature drinks” alongside a new custom mural, per team officials. 

Another significant change will be found at Left Field Plaza, where the reimagined, expanded family amenity that is Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Park will be in full swing by the time games at The Battery Atlanta resume. Officials have said that space will accommodate more than twice as many families as the former Hope & Will's Sandlot area.

Other investments outside the walls of the MLB ballpark include a crop of office and residential buildings now finishing construction or rising up.
