John Angelos eyes Atlanta’s ‘The Battery’ as a model for Camden Yards. Here’s what Braves fans think about the ballpark district.

ATLANTA — Crea Petty is a little embarrassed about how often she’s been to The Battery.

“Like, a lot. A lot,” the 31-year-old Atlanta Braves fan said. “Probably 100-plus times.”

Petty, who lives in nearby Smyrna, said going to The Battery, the ballpark district that surrounds the Braves’ stadium, is the hip thing to do, not just to see the local nine, but also to go out to dinner, shop, celebrate birthdays and, even, attend a wedding.

“There’s something for everyone,” said Petty, who was spending Saturday afternoon there before the Braves’ game against the Orioles.
