I love sitting outside watching a fun game, great athletes, eating peanuts and drinking a beer!

What a great family outing!! I enjoy the infectious positive atmosphere and being around so many people out for an evening of fun. Complete with a hotdog and your favorite beverage; what could be a better stress reliever?

That sounds like a lot of fun. I haven't been to that Stadium yet.

Baseball is so much better in person than on TV. Maybe it's because I can't make boiled peanuts at home.

I enjoy taking my brother, who has down syndrome, and watching him enjoy the game. He loves to collect baseball cards and record the stats. He now lives with me, so taking him to any game is easier-he use to live in Cleveland, Ohio. He is an Indians fan, but he is proud to cheer for the Braves.

My daughter is finally old enough for me to teach her the rules - I am really enjoying using a live game to do so (when we can make it to the ballpark...)

I love Baseball. It resembles life. Decisions are made and those decisions lead to doubts; outs; runs; rewards; great moments and errors; elation and heartache - and you always get another shot; another at bat; another pitch to make a difference and start over. No other game like it.

If you love statistics and more statistics then you are a true baseball fan. Greatest game every played. I would also urge everyone to attend at one minor league baseball game. There you experience the game on a different level. You interact with the players and feel it from a personal level not like the corporate feel at majoy league parks. As Shakespeare noted you become part of the play. Do yourself a favor and experience this while supporting your local Gwinnett Braves. Play Ball !!! :)

It is a great family event. Plenty of breaks in the action to talk with each other. Easy to relax at a ball game.

Our family loves baseball. Period.
Baseball is about memories, it’s about stories and conversations and so much more. I want to give our 4 year old son the chance to experience and learn why baseball truly is America's Favorite past time!

I have loved baseball and going to games since the Ponce De Leon Ball Park, across from Sears and Roebuck. I now take my grandchildren so they will have memories like the ones I have of my uncles, and grandfather. I really like the Gwinnett stadium the best because you feel closer to the action.

Baseball affords us the opportunity to dream and fulfill dreams. A lot of children dream of getting a baseball glove. Going to a game allows more dreams. The young dream of the future. Adults dream of days past. The players dream of winning.

I would love the opportunity to support a team that supports our community and provides for a fun time. I haven't been able to attend a game at that stadium yet, just saw it as I passed by this past sat. on my way home from helping the shelter do adoptions in Auburn.

I enjoy spending time with my friends cheering the Gwinnett Braves, especially on a summer afternoon, outside, when the weather's amazing!

We love Gwinnett Braves because minor leagues try harder. There's always good seating, and it's not too big and hectic to walk around the stadium while watching the game. The games are higher scoring, and the traffic isn't bad at all. And you can get Tomahawk beer, which is only sold in Braves stadiums!

Our family is on a tight budget so we don't get to do that many outings with our son. We love baseball and winning these tickets would be a great opportunity for us to have a fun family outing and enjoy the great American Pastime together.

Why do I love baseball? Baseball is the “Truest” of all games! It’s a game of skill, trust and teamwork. Like life itself, it's a game of live examples. Each player has to listen to each other, respect each other and trust each other in order to win.
That's why I love baseball and it's also why I enjoy taking my wife and grand kids to the games. I like to see them watching each team all the while learning how to work things out together themselves. My wife and grand kids don't know they are also learning how to work things out together in life but they are.
Baseball teaches us how to have fun and how to laugh. We all learn by watching other people enjoy life. Baseball is a wonderful life lesson.
I love baseball because "We" are always right there n the game with the players.

Baseball is a time-honored tradition where every live pitch, smack of a glove or crack of a bat floods my senses with memories of moments shared alongside loved ones separated now by distance or astral plane. An evening flight over the Heartland, revealing the diamond glow of rural ballfields offers the most assuring comfort that, as Americans, we're still on the right track.
