Gwinnett Stripers Invite Public to Preseason Party at Coolray Field

Ever wanted to take batting practice on the field? Now's your chance to both have fun and raise money for a great cause

For those of you looking for family friendly activities during the lead-up to Atlanta's 2024 season, the Braves AAA affiliate has the event for you! 

The Gwinnett Stripers are partnering with Coca-Cola® to host the Coca-Cola Preseason Party at Coolray Field on Sunday, March 10. The rain-or-shine event runs from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Tickets to the event are free, but must be reserved online in advance.

The Coca-Cola Preseason Party will include:

  • Complimentary Hot Dogs and Soda: Enjoy these ballpark staples, or you can purchase additional food and drinks (beer included) at one of Coolray Field’s concession stands.
  • Self-Guided Tours of Coolray Field: Go behind-the-scenes at the home of the Stripers, including player areas like the clubhouse and dugout.

Fans are invited to bring their gloves and shag baseballs in the outfield at any time during batting practice for free.
  • Activities for Kids: Face painting, inflatable games (weather permitting), and more! Stripers’ mascot Chopper the Groundhog will also be present to meet fans of all ages.
