Among them is The Bat Flip, a seven-inch brioche burger packed with two pounds of beef patties, braised short rib, pork belly, cheese, onions, lettuce, tomato, and a fried egg. Executive chef Jaco Dreyer even challenged media members to finish the towering dish. Other additions include Low Country Crunch, Peach Dingers, A-Town Melt, and Blooperito.
The park's atmosphere has also been enhanced with new LED lights. Geoffrey Schmidt, senior director of entertainment and events, explained that the upgrades aim to create a rock-concert vibe. Meanwhile, the South End Trading Company now offers game-used gear and bottles of World Series dirt. A special room called *The Vault* displays historic Braves memorabilia. Off the field, Blue Moon Brewery and Grill teamed up with Austin Riley to release a limited-edition beer. The Braves will kick off their season on Friday against the Kansas City Royals.
