Let’s begin this trip (at 1 of the 2 new MILB ballparks) on June 25th, with a 7pm first pitch to the Barons at Covenant Health Park in #Knoxville.
The #Smokies played at Smokies Stadium in Kodak, pictured here in govols79’s awesome behind home plate view of TN at bat, for 24 years. 2/11

Our next game is a 2+ hour drive east. We suggest leaving early to enjoy #Asheville before strolling down Biltmore to the game, for a #Tourists' 6:35 first pitch.
Please note McCormick Field is under renovation, & Hudson Valley is playing out of the away dugout picture in woofbrands’ excellent snap. 3/11

On Friday the 27th you have a 4ish hour drive down to Truist Park. But it shouldn’t be a problem cuz the #Braves’ have a 7pm start.
Picked TheAdventuresofColtonNas behind left field spot because he says it has a "Good, unobstructed view” & it’ll be right above the Phillies' bullpen. 4/11

The trip’s next game is at Synovus Park, 2hrs south of Atlanta. It is the Braves' new Double-A affiliate The #ColumbusClingstones' new home. They have the 1st base line dugout.
The Mississippi Braves’ last season as the Brave's AA team, for 21 years, was 2024. And this was profan9's excellent view in 2018. 5/11

On June 29th after breakfast you've gotta drive about an hour and a half east for the #MontgomeryBiscuits’ 1st pitch at 3:33.
The SPCA is sponsoring Bark in the Park, the Trash Pandas’ away dugout will be along the 1st base line, & you can get one of the best ballcaps in the game. 6/11

Monday, 6/30 is a free day between Montgomery & Birmingham.
Nearby hiking is at Talladega National Forest, & Oak Mountain State Park; or Vulcan Park & Sloss Furnace are open in Birmingham.

After sight seeing on Tuesday head to Regions Field, next to Railroad Park, & relax as you watch the #Barons’ first pitch fly to the Lookouts at 7.
If you have amypiac’s exciting behind home plate view Birmingham will be playing from the dugout, to your right, up the 1st base line. 8/11

Next is a #TrashPandas' Bark in the Park game, with a 6:35 start, and an opportunity to get another unique ballcap. They play from the 1st base line dugout.
Picked triviabrewsters' seat right behind the catcher as a reminder that it's fun being close enough to call balls & strikes. 9/11

The trip’s last game is on July 3rd.
We picked roadtruppin04’s excellent view, of #Nashville pitching in the top of the 3rd, because the #Sound are treating everyone to a post game fireworks, & it’s always nice to sit further up so you can enjoy the show without craning your neck. 10/11
