The Back Porch at Truist Park transforms the space above the Batter’s Eye into a relaxed, distinctly Southern destination for groups to gather and enjoy the game. The 3,200-square-foot covered venue accommodates up to 320 guests, offering panoramic views of the field in a setting that feels more like a comfortable backyard gathering than a traditional premium space.

A palette of reclaimed wood, warm lighting, and casual lounge furnishings reinforces the welcoming character of the space, while a full-service bar, buffet counter, and variety of seating areas support both socializing and group dining. The result is an intimate, hospitality-focused environment that brings the spirit of a Southern summer gathering into the ballpark.

Key Features Include:

  • 3,200-square-foot covered deck overlooking center field

  • Dedicated full-service bar and catering area

  • Built-in buffet counter for convenient group dining

  • A mix of lounge and communal seating designed for social interaction

  • Panoramic sightlines to the field and game action

  • Phased construction approach minimizing disruption to ballpark operations

The project was delivered in phases to align with the Braves’ baseball schedule. The roof and structural framework were completed for the 2019 season, with the bar, catering area, buffet counter, and furnishings following for the 2020 season. Together, these elements created a distinctive new social and group destination within Truist Park—combining the informality of a Southern backyard with the energy and spectacle of Major League Baseball.
