Turner Field Visit

This past Thursday our class visited Turner Field in Atlanta. The tour consisted of: The Coca-Cola Sky Field, Braves Hall of Fame Museum, Braves Dugout, Braves locker room, Scouts Alley, the broadcasting booth, Luxury suite, press box, the plaza and the Museum store. On top of touring all of those areas of the facility our tour guide also told us a lot of information concerning the field and facility. There are TV's everywhere in the facility so that you never miss the action. The field also has a special Hybrid Bermuda grass that doesn't die in the winter like normal Bermuda grass does. I found that really fascinating. Our tour guide also told us that the field's draining system pumps water off their field at an incredibly high rate that will pretty much allow the Braves to be able to play through any rain, except of course if it is a torrential down-pour. I loved the tour overall and I learned a lot of things about Turner Field that I did not know before.
