Attending a Braves Spring Training Game Champion Stadium at Disney's Wide World of Sports is architecturally one of
the flashier venues for spring training. It's also one of the largest: with
9,500 seats (80 percent between the first and third bases). The design is in a
Florida Spanish Mission design with some Art Deco touches.
The stadium is a marvel with double-decked seating and the cheerful cast members
playing the role of concessionaires. The gentlest part of the park is the
general admission seating area down the left-line, which isn’t designed for
sitting at all, but for lounging on an emerald hill atop blankets and beach
towels brought from home. The ballpark is spotlessly clean, but then this is
Disney: What else did you expect? There is a very agreeable spaciousness to the
stadium, despite almost all the seating being concentrated in the two-deck
grandstand. The lower level features two concourses -- a small one at the back
of the grandstand and a much larger one within the grandstand -- while the upper
level features a large concourse within the grandstand, four luxury boxes and
two open-air suites. The wider concourses make for pleasant milling around
during the game, and there's an expanded area outside of the grandstand that can
accommodate groups.
In-game entertainment provides plenty to keep fans busy between innings. A
four-piece brass band climbs atop the Braves dugout to play. A roving
emcee asks randomly-selected fans trivia questions and to guess the attendance
for prizes. Besides the gift shop behind home plate, there are plenty of
carts placed around the stadium offering Braves merchandise and memorabilia.
