Who's going to Atlanta?

 

Just curious as to if any other Cubs fans plan on heading to Atlanta for opening day/opening series? I plan on making the trek from North Carolina for the game on opening day. Braves single game tickets are not on sale yet, but will be near the end of the month. At this point, tickets prices are also unavailable (to the best of my knowledge). I simply can not wait for the season to start. Thank the good Lord for the Extra Innings package. Go Cubs!

I will!

Been looking forward to this since the schedule has been announced. I’m around 5 hours away from Atlanta and usually hit at least one game down there a year.

Me!

I’m 95% sure I’m going just waiting on the tickets to go on sale. I saw they already had some tickets posted on StubHub.

by FloridaCubsFan on Feb 8, 2010 6:20 PM CST reply actions  

I'm going

I live about 20 min north of the city and can’t wait. There should actually be a full crowd for this game. I went to the Braves’ opening day last year and that was probably the highest attended game of the year (except for Red Sox and Yankee games).

I live there.

I dont miss games in atlanta and there are tons of tix (seas tix holders?)already avail on stub hub. just waiting on friends to confirm to know how many. opening day is all im gonna get online, the rest i can get at the game. i still remember last year with Randy Wells’ no hitter into i believe the seventh, then we lost w/ Gregg giving up HR to Frenchie. Went from being a great nite to bad real quick.
