Turner Field (#17)

Giants vs. Braves
Braves Tie 3-3 (Rain)

Turner Field had a lot going on inside and outside the stadium itself. We stayed at a hotel only a quarter-mile away. While walking to the stadium, we saw many vendors and people offering various literature and such. I like the portion of wall from Fulton County Stadium in the parking lot commemorating Hank Aaron's 715th homer. It is important to keep those historic artifacts. I also like the many Olympic themed items that remained from the 1996 games. Turner Field was a key venue for those games.

We have seen many extra inning games and unusual plays, but no one could have predicted a tie. The game was stopped because of rain with the Giants and Braves tied at 3 apiece. The rain would not let up and there was another game to be played the next day. So it was called as a tie and would be completed only if it mattered in the standings. Fortunately it did not matter and we can add to our personal records that we have seen one of only and handful of Major League regular season games end in a tie.
