What Should You Do If Your Bag Is Too Big to Enter the Atlanta Braves Stadium?
If you bring a backpack, a bag bigger than 5” x 9”, or items you can’t bring into the venue, your best bet is to leave them in your car in the parking lot. If you did not drive to the venue and have that stuff that can’t go into the arena, there is mobile locker bag storage on the Third Base Gate. The cost for this on-site locker storage ranges between $11 and $15, depending on the event, and it comes on a first-come, first-served basis.
If there are no more lockers available at the venue, you can see if some of the bars will watch your stuff. However, like the Third Base Gate, this comes on a first-come, first-served basis with no guarantee they will take your stuff.
Your best bet is to review the items you can’t bring into Truist Park ahead of time to avoid any issues where the lockers are sold out and you didn’t drive to the venue to put those items in there.
