It’s baseball season! If you’ve never been to minor league game, it’s time to visit Coolray Field and cheer on the Gwinnett Stripers, the triple-A affiliate team to our Atlanta Braves.
A Stripers game is an affordable outing for families, and a perfect cheap date — with tickets starting at just $8 and special promotion days that bring added value. Everything about the experience is less expensive than a Braves game at Truist Field. Plus, you’re sitting much closer to the action.
From April through September, the Stripers alternate home games and away games on a weekly basis. You can see the 2022 schedule online — the home games appear in red calendar boxes.
Coolray Field is located in Lawrenceville at 2500 Buford Drive. This is Gwinnett County.

It’s also easy on your wallet to splurge at a Striper’s game — dugout seats are just $20 in advance (or $23 at the gate, or the total price including fees for an online purchase).
