What we know:

While the Braves organization’s bread and butter is baseball, they also want to make sure there is something for all fans who come out to Truist Park.

In the off-season, the Braves re-did its kids' area, added new LED signage and added a new food hall.

The Braves also gave a sneak-peek of some of their giveaways, like a Chipper Jones bobblehead and a Braves race car.

What they're saying:

The new food hall will feature many new Truist Park offerings that the Braves hope will excite fans.

"We wanted to make sure that this new Outfield Market, a food hall of our own, really represents all the flavors across Braves Country," said Hannah Basinger from the Braves. "You can come to a ballpark one day and get cracker jacks and a hot dog, and the next day you can have a cult favorite burger."

The food and other upgrades will be on full display for a national audience as Truist Park plays host to the MLB All-Star game on July 15.

The All-Star Game comes to the Atlanta area after a 25-year drought.

"Being able to host in a market like Atlanta where you guys know how to host big events and make a show of what those events have to offer is a big deal for us, and so we're really excited," said Jeremiah Yolkut from MLB.

Truist Park was supposed to host the game in 2021, but it was pulled because of a voting law approved by the legislature.

With this do-over of sorts, the game will draw thousands of fans to watch the best of the best in baseball.

"I think what you're going to see is hotels, restaurants, and people really spending money here in Atlanta around the All-Star Week events," Yolkut said.
