i can't believe what the braves charge for their preseason games since they moved to disney. approx $45 downstairs, $35 upstairs $20-$25 to sit on the grass. sign of the times i guess. used to be a cheap outing years ago.

I grew up going to Dodgertown with my mom, and I am sure it was not much more than a dollar or two back then.

When I was a kid and the Braves and Expos were in West Palm Beach, tickets were $1.50 for the uppers and $2.50 for reserved. You couldn't get anybody to go to a 90º 1:00pm game in the middle of the afternoon. They would give away tickets in the bleachers. Then people FINALLY figured out that this was a good cheap day of entertainment down in the tropics. Ticket prices started climbing year after year. We started buying spring season tickets. Then they outgrew that little municipal stadium and pulled out. Went to a Nationals/Cardinals game last year and tickets were $57.50 each at a brand new stadium in Jupiter Beach and the place was packed.

i just can't wrap my head around the fact that it costs more to see a braves spring training game than a regular season game in atlanta.

i just heard this on sirius xm sports channel...
the stadium in jupiter, fl., which is the home of the cards and marlins, charges you an extra $5 if you come early to watch batting practice. (this is a decision of the owner of the stadium, not the teams.)
unreal.

braves are looking to move also; when the astros and another team that i don't remember right now move there will only be one team close to them. concern is spending too much time on the bus.
i'm sure they will do an indepth analysis of the best location to go to, and then actually base their decision on which location gives them the most money.

You got that right. Used to go to the Billings Mustangs games religiously. Just a single A ball team. Lived 5 houses down from dead center field. Walked to the games. Loved listening to the music over the loud speakers during practice. Nothing like living close to a ball field.
