Record Attendance Spring Game

[stech81]

Got one of those. What I'm missing is the beach house.

I don't but next year we're thinking about getting one of those inside toilets like the rich people.

Any insider knowledge on the special guest?

Not exactly, but I'll be firing up the wing fryer at my beach house assuming the game is televised.

Grilled wings > fried wings any day of the week, and twice on Sundays. That said, you can't really go wrong with a wing.

1 - deep fryer wings
2 - grilled wings
3 - baked wings

I have a local place that deep fries them and then finishes them on the grill for a nice char; you get the crunch from the fryer and the char/smoke from the grill. Pretty solid. http://www.thepointseastpub.com

Deep fried are still the best. Now I'm hungry.

Smoked wings from https://hometeambbq.com/ still the best wings I have ever had. Everything else on their menu is also amazing.

I have a convention in ATL that starts on the evening of the 26th. I told them I'll miss the Friday night activities. I am taking off work that Friday so I could be in ATL before afternoon traffic, live in southeast GA. This will be my first Spring Game and I am pumped!!

They had my daughter at “face painter”. You’d think she was a little kid but, no. She’s a freshman in high school. She is begging me to take her down there super early. I keep telling her she doesn’t have to convince me. My car’s ready to go right now (and we’re a week away).

We will be there twin or shine. I have rain jackets!

Here is a pic from 2009 north stands, when the announced crowd was 18,000. No pic or remembrance of the west stands.

During the spring game can anyone sit in the Fold Down seats or is it still Boosters only?

Anyone

1. Friday traffic. People don't want to fight Friday night traffic, especially after working all day.

2. Distance. People 2 or more hours away are much more likely to come to a Saturday game than a Friday night one.

A Saturday or Saturday night game would make way more sense from an attendance standpoint. Saturday night would still give you the "BDS under the lights with the ATL skyline" look to the 'cruits.

Yep. If the game was Saturday night I’d be there. Unfortunately I just started a new job and my boss likes to give me things to do at 5pm on Fridays so there’s no way for me to drive 3.5 hours to get there on time. If it was anytime Saturday I would be there and probably stay to watch the Braves Sunday.

If it's the same as it's been in the past, you can sit anywhere you want to except the upper decks. Although the picture posted above does show people in the upper east.
