If anyone remembers the post I made about the construction happening, this is what they’re making it. I’m a 35 year old man so I’ll probably never get to use this but it looks fun for children.
I’m a 39 year old man with a 2 year old and I’m super pumped for this haha.
Hard to go wrong investing in your youth fanbase.
The area where the kids area was is becoming club seats (called the bullpen). This is awesome for non game days. We go to the green a lot to watch out of town games. Now we can do that and have the kids playing.
I wonder if this shifts the Alist gate to a different gate
I was at A-List play day & the whole kids area in the stadium has been gutted and construction is well under way for the new club area.
My fears about this new area is that it is located outside of the Left Field gate up against the Delta Deck at the furthest point from the Battery. Are parents going to go get a pizza from Antico & walk all the way around the stadium so their kids can run around? Will it be accessible after you’ve entered the stadium (assuming they may do something similar to the Clubhouse Store)? But more importantly, what will this do for foot traffic for people coming in & out of the LF & 3rd base gates? Those areas are already super congested during big games.
I love the idea of the kids area & I love that they are expanding it. I just hope that the placement of this new area doesn’t make it become an afterthought.
As a kid who spent countless game days at “Tooner Field”, the sandlot/kids area at the Ted, I’m so happy they finally brought it over in full scale to Truist. If anyone from Truist Park staff is reading, I’ll volunteer to throw BP to the kids for free for a couple of games as a way to recapture the childhood wonder of long ago.
I’ve had the misfortune of going to several Phillies games, and they have something similar. It’s hilarious watching the chaos created by dozens of kids running amuck.
My gripe was the congestion so hope this solves for that. I have a 3 yo now. I grew up at turner field in the left field Coca-Cola area and always loved how it overlooked the park- made it feel less crowded. I’m sure in my memory it was much smaller than I remember, but glad to see truist make this improvement! Parents ftw!
