Not going to lie, I was a hater at first. Trustmark Park was opening as the stadium in Jackson was declining. I missed the old stadium in Jackson and didn’t want to support this one out in Pearl. I have seen the light. Look, you’re going to go for baseball, sort of, right? If you want to see professional baseball around here, this is your only option. Since this team is actually owned by the Braves, the stadium had a great investment to start off. It is small but works really well in the area. There are of course plenty of hot dog vendors and a sit down restaurant by the outfield. The box seats are good too, and there is a little VIP area if you can get access. They are constantly running promotions supporting one cause or another, or offering some deal or another. If you like affordably priced beer in large quantities, of course they have a thirsty Thursday. If you just want to watch kids running around and doing silly things in between innings, come on literally any day. Going out to the ball game is an experience everyone needs to have at least once a season!

Being a lifelong Braves fan we had to stop by and check out the stadium. Large parking lot and plenty of handicap parking available. Gift shop was full of neat and unusual items. Located near several hotels and resorts.

While I wouldn’t consider myself a huge baseball«fan» by any means, I do love to spend a day at the ballpark during the summer. I grew up attending Oriole’s games in Baltimore, and so baseball stadiums hold a certain nostalgic allure for me. Trustmark Park maintains all the joys of a classic ballpark. The concession stands offer a bevy of not-so-healthy food options, from hot dogs to popcorn to cheese drenched nachos. There’s even a restaurant on the concourse that offers a full menu of options, including burgers and sandwiches. The stadium is pretty huge, and spacious. The concourse has plenty of room for the crowds to move through without causing too much traffic. There’s a kids zone with inflatables on one side and on the other side, a pavilion you cant rent for parties or events. The staff keeps the stadium decently clean and the bathrooms are always in good condition, which makes a huge difference at sporting events! The stadium often hosts fun events, and«Thirsty Thursday» is a must for beer fans. Whether you’re a baseball«fan» or not, a game at Trustmark Park is a super fun, inexpensive way to spend a sunny day.

It’s really hard to believe this baseball field built for the Mississippi Braves(minor league team to the Atlanta Braves) has been here for 9 years. I seems like it was just yesterday they announced they were going to be building it. Time sure does fly! I can say though, that this stadium still looks brand new. They have done an excellent job at maintaining it! I’m just thrilled Atlanta chose Pearl, MS to host the minor league team. This field has done a lot of great things for the city and I know the people in the area sure love coming to the games. It’s definitely fun for the entire family! The stadium is pretty state-of-the-art… all things considered that is, because we are talking about a minor league baseball team. There’s not a bad seat in the house; great views no matter where you sit. There are various food venders throughout the stadium. You have your usual baseball fare such as hot dogs, popcorn, nachos, and peanuts, as well as many other options available. They have an area set-up for kids to play, so when they get bored with the game, as young children often do, there’s a safe place for them to go play and burn off some energy. Parking is kinda odd here. It’s can be pretty unorganized and sometimes the parking lot fills up and you have to find a place on the street. That’s really the only complaint I have. Overall, it’s a great baseball park and, again, I’m thrilled they built it in Pearl!

Having grown up in Atlanta angling to Braves games at both the old Fulton County Stadium and the new Turner Field, I am a spoiled baseball fan. I got my first taste of minor league ball when I lived in Tampa, FL with several minor league teams in the area. I was not prepared for how nice Trustmark Park was when I first went to a game. Although Jackson is a relatively small city, the Mississippi Braves are a nice addition and the park is great. I have not yet had a bad seat at the game. I have heard people complain about the cost of attending a game. These people have obviously never been to a big league game. The parking is free, the tickets are affordable, and the food prices, while definitely marked up, are«cheap» compared to any stadium I’ve been in. My one complaint? We went to the Current Braves vs Future Braves game and the parking was horrendous. While I realize they don’t expect to sell out often, they should have a plan in place for when they do. They knew well in advance this was a sellout game, yet we had to hunt for a spot on a random road to park. Overall, a great place!
