Metal Detectors now at Atlanta Braves Turner Field

[therubberduckie]

I went up to the home opener last night. After trying to find parking for over an hour and having to park a mile from the park, I was certain I would be carrying concealed. After our little hike I was shocked to see that they have installed metal detectors now at the gates to Turner field. Luckily I spotted an gap where they were letting people in without scanning and made it in fine.

I'm not sure my plan for next time I visit the stadium. Normally I would avoid areas that have this level of false security, but come on... it's THE BRAVES!

Anyone else make it to the home opener last night? Any trouble with CCW?

I have made the walk many times from up to a mile or so South of the Stadium, with my wife. Have encountered some entertaining characters in the past but never felt threatened around there. I have even wore my Cardinals cap. Took a lot of ribbing for that but that's ok. My wife wears her Braves clothing of course.

I guess it depends on which direction you are coming. There are some places it's not too bad.

It just takes the one "Character" with the wrong intention to do the harm. I look forward to the New Stadium location.

i always come in from the side gate along the 3rd base line. gave me hell about having my work keys with me one time but had no idea i had a carry, back up, and knife. lol i laughed once we got in. saw jeff foxworthy when i was there that time.....

i wont have that problem, as i'll never go see another braves game, even to pull for the other team.

pay for your own stadium , tired of subsidizing billion dollar corporations. goes for the falcons too. rant over.

Anyone else have issues getting into Turner Field with a ccw? I am going to the game tomorrow and want too make sure I can get in without being told to take a hike. I'll be carrying my glock 19 in an alien gear holster.

Let us know how that turns out. I have always wondered about carrying there.

Hoping some others will chime in before I go.
