Atlanta Braves Welcome Week Open House
Florida Pro Baseball staff attended the 2026 Atlanta Braves Welcome Week Open House at CoolToday Park in North Port, Florida. Spring Training activities began across Southwest Florida. The Atlanta Braves compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as part of the Grapefruit League. The informal event served as an early public gathering ahead of Spring Training.
CoolToday Park anchors the Braves’ Florida operations and serves as their Spring Training home. Six outdoor practice fields surround the complex. The main field mirrors the dimensions of their regular-season ballpark. A 360-degree concourse and left-field berm provide multiple viewing angles for workouts and batting-practice home runs. A tiki bar offers a gathering space with field views.
The open house included fan interaction with team personnel. A live recording of the Braves Beach House Podcast featured a discussion with manager Walt Weiss. He later met fans, signed autographs, and posed for photographs. Third baseman Austin Riley joined an autograph session. Players like Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ozzie Albies participated in batting practice, giving attendees an early look at preseason preparation.
The Welcome Week Open House set the tone for the Braves’ 2026 Spring Training season.
