Finding your exact seat at Truist Park shouldn't require a masterclass in geometry. Whether you're heading to a summer night game to watch the Atlanta Braves or catching a concert at the home of The Battery Atlanta, understanding how the venue numbers its rows and seats saves you from wandering the concourse while the first inning passes you by.
Truist Park uses a logical, consistent numbering grid across its 41,000-seat bowl. Seat 1 in any given row always sits on a specific side—usually adjacent to the lower-numbered neighboring section—while seat numbers ascend as you move away from that anchor point. If you've ever stared at a digital ticket and wondered whether seat 20 is on the aisle or tucked deep in the middle, this guide breaks down the exact layout, section numbers, and hidden quirks of the ballpark's seating grid.
Decoding the Truist Park Grid
The ballpark is divided into distinct tiers: the Lower Bowl (100 level), the Terrace Level (200 level), the Home Run Porch, the Main Concourse suites, and the Upper Deck (300 and 400 levels). Section numbers start behind home plate at Section 113 or 114 and fan outward down the baselines, wrapping all the way around the outfield.
When you look at your ticket, you'll see three primary identifiers: Section, Row, and Seat.
- Sections run in numerical order around the diamond. Lower bowl sections span roughly from 101 to 144.
- Rows start at row 1 (the absolute closest to the field or the front of the tier) and increment upward as you move further back toward the concourse.
- Seats follow a strict directional rule. Low seat numbers (like seat 1 or 2) in a section bordering another section will always sit on the side closer to that neighboring section.
As a general rule of thumb across the lower level, seat 1 is typically located on the right side of the row when facing the field if you're on the first base side, or on the left side if you're on the third base side, aligning so that seats match up seamlessly with adjacent sections. For example, if Section 115 sits next to Section 116, the highest seat number in 115 will sit right next to seat 1 of Section 116.
Lower Bowl Layout: Sections 100 to 144
The lower bowl offers the most immersive experience at Truist Park, putting you right on top of the action. However, because the backstop curves and the foul lines extend deep into the corners, seat counts per row vary wildly.
Behind Home Plate (Sections 111 to 117)
These are the premier seats in the ballpark. Row 1 sits remarkably close to the screen, putting you right behind the home plate umpire.
- Seat numbering rule: In these central sections, seat numbers start near the middle-low digits on the side bordering the third base dugout and increase toward the first base side.
- Watch out for: Rows 1 through 5 behind home plate are often protected by netting, which is virtually invisible from most angles but worth noting if you prefer an unobstructed camera lens.
Along the Baselines (Sections 101 to 110 and 118 to 130)
Down the lines, sections are angled toward the infield dirt.
- Third Base Line (Sections 118–130): Home to the Braves dugout. Seat 1 in these sections is typically closer to home plate, with higher seat numbers extending out toward left field.
- First Base Line (Sections 101–110): Home to the visitor dugout. Seat numbers start low closer to home plate and tick upward toward right field.
Outfield and Corner Pockets (Sections 131 to 144)
These sections wrap around the foul poles and into the outfield corners, including the Hank Aaron Terrace and Truist Pavilion areas. Rows here can be shorter, meaning total seat counts per row might cap out at 15 or 20, whereas midfield rows often stretch past 25 seats.
Upper Deck and Terrace Levels
If you're sitting in the 200, 300, or 400 levels, the numbering logic remains consistent, but the perspective changes entirely.
- Terrace Level (200s): These sit directly above the lower bowl. They offer an elevated view that captures pitch trajectory brilliantly without feeling detached from the game. Row 1 is the front row of the tier.
- Grandstand and Upper Levels (300s and 400s): These higher tiers cover the infield and outfield. While you're further from the players, tickets here are more budget-friendly, and the view gives you a clean strategic look at defensive alignments.
One important quirk of the upper deck: rows near the back of the 300 level or under the overhang may block your view of high fly balls or the scoreboard Jumbotron. If seeing the main videoboard is a priority, aim for rows 1 through 10 in the upper sections.
Premium Seating and Clubs
Truist Park features several exclusive club areas that manage their own seating rules and row designations.
- Xfinity Club and Truist Club: Located directly behind home plate on the ground level. These sections offer all-inclusive food and beverage options, plush padded seating, and dedicated wait service. Seat numbers here are tightly packed in shorter rows to maximize legroom and comfort.
- A-List Clubs and Suites: Party suites and terrace suites use alphabetical row designations or specific suite numbers rather than standard 1–20 row counts. Check your specific suite ticket for directional entry gates.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Navigating a 41,000-seat stadium for the first time trips up even seasoned fans. Keep these common pitfalls in mind:
- Entering through the wrong gate: The main gates (The Home Depot Clubhouse Gate, the Coors Light Chop House Gate, and the Third Base Gate) position you near specific sections. Don't enter at the left-field gate if your seats are behind the first-base dugout—you'll have to walk the entire length of the concourse.
- Assuming all rows have the same number of seats: Middle sections behind home plate have long rows, while sections tucked into the corners or near stairwells might only have 5 or 8 seats per row. Always verify your group's exact seat numbers to ensure you aren't split across an aisle.
- Ignoring the aisle indicators: When looking for your seats from the concourse, look at the row placards on the aisle rails. They list the exact seat numbers terminating at that aisle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which side of the section is seat number 1?
Seat 1 is almost always located on the side of the section that borders the next lower-numbered section. For instance, if you are in Section 115, seat 1 will be on the side closer to Section 114.
Are all seats at Truist Park covered from rain?
No. Only rows in the upper half of the lower bowl (typically rows 20 and higher in the 100 level) and the entire Terrace and Upper decks offer reliable overhead protection from rain. Lower bowl rows near the field are fully exposed to the elements.
Where is visitor seating located?
Visiting team fans typically gather behind the visitor dugout along the first base line, specifically in sections 105 through 109, and in designated visiting bullpen sections in the outfield.
How do I find ADA accessible seating?
ADA seating platforms are located at the top of the lower bowl sections and along the concourse levels. These spots offer unobstructed sightlines and removable companion chairs. It's best to confirm ADA accommodations directly through the Braves box office prior to game day.
