Stadium capacity set to open at 50%

Tickets for the Rome Braves’ 2021 season are on sale now.

Atlanta’s High-a affiliate announced Thursday it will begin the year with a 50% capacity ceiling as singlegame tickets go on sale to the general public. In conjunction with its ticket release, the club posted its 2021 promotional schedule Friday.

“After a long and difficult year, we are excited to welcome Braves fans back to State Mutual Stadium on May 18,” vice president and general manager David Cross said in a statement. “It has been almost 600 days since we’ve had Rome Braves baseball game, and we’re so glad that baseball is back in Rome with fans.”

Rome plans to sell a limited amount of tickets in pods. Capacity restrictions are subject to change prior to opening day, and the Rome Braves will work in tandem with the Atlanta Braves and local health officials to ensure the safest fan experience as possible.

Due to the limited ticket inventory, fans are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance on romebraves.com/ tickets or by calling the box office at 706-378-5144.

Rome’s promotional schedule will feature firework shows, promotional giveaways, theme nights and weekly promotions.

Fireworks shows will take place on three occasions: May 22, July 31 and Sept. 18.
