Postgame concerts are back at Truist Park this year – stay in your seat for a concert after select games or purchase a Field Pass to go down on the field and watch the show.

Sundays are for the kids: After the game, kids can run the bases just like the players*, cool off on the Splash Pad and run around or play catch on the Plaza Green with friends and fans alike!
