All the facts about the spring home of the Braves

Home team: Atlanta Braves
Opened: 1997
Seating capacity: 9,500, with about 80 per cent of seats between first and third base, rivalling the sightlines at nearby spring break pool parties.
Ticket prices: $13–$21
Concessions: Very good. Oddly enough, it can be difficult to find Cracker Jack.
Parking: A small paved lot yields to areas of grass and dirt. There is no charge.
Player proximity: Fans can get close along the third-base line, where the seating on the grassy berm begins.
From Disney World: Formerly known as Cracker Jack Stadium the diamond is part of Disney’s Wide World of Sports complex. Take Interstate 4 and look for Exit 65 (Osceola Parkway West). Turn left onto Victory Way and look for the signs.
Inside pitch: Baseball America rated this stadium second in its most recent ranking of spring training facilities.
