# Quick numeric portrait American sports and have been based in Atlanta since 1966. This brief collects the concrete, memorable numbers associated with the franchise: historical milestones, player records, ballpark facts, and commercial figures that help explain why the Braves remain a national presence.
# What the numbers say about on-field success The Braves' recent track record is clear: four division titles in the 2020s and a World Series win in 2021. Numbers like those are shorthand for sustained competitiveness over the decade and a recent championship that anchors the era.
Hank Aaron stands out in franchise history. He hit 755 career home runs, 733 of which came while wearing a Braves uniform. Those figures remain central to the team's identity and historical narrative.
# Ballpark and fan experience stats Truist Park is the Braves' home and a place defined by high-volume concession activity. Typical seasonal figures include 130,000 gallons of beer, nearly 1 million hot dogs, and 76,000 pounds of brisket sold per season. Those numbers give a sense of scale for game-day operations and fan demand.
The price of attending a Braves game spans a wide range. Admission can cost as little as $10 through flash-sale offers, and climb to $15,559 for the club's priciest full-season membership, with premium seats behind the dugout among the most expensive.
# Visual identity and honors The Braves' on-field look has evolved: nine major redesigns of the primary uniform since the franchise began in Boston in 1912. The team's current button-down jersey with a red tomahawk across the chest follows a long visual lineage that includes the original "Boston" emblem.
Truist Park displays 12 retired jersey numbers. Those honor 11 Braves legends and also reflect the leaguewide retirement of Jackie Robinson's number 42.
# Merchandise and fan favorites This season's best-selling jersey is number 13, worn by Ronald Acuña Jr. Jersey sales offer a simple metric of player popularity and commercial draw.
# Media and national reach The Braves became widely known as "America's Team" in the 1970s after Ted Turner began broadcasting their games nationally on TBS. That broadcasting decision extended the team's visibility well beyond its home market.
# How these numbers fit together Taken together, these statistics paint a practical picture: a century-old franchise that has repeatedly reinvented itself, secured national exposure through early cable broadcasts, maintained strong, recent competitive results, and built a major regional entertainment operation at Truist Park. The numeric details—attendance-related sales, uniform evolutions, retired numbers, and ticket pricing—make the franchise's scale and priorities easier to grasp.
# Bottom line If you want a concise, number-driven sense of the Braves: they are a long-running franchise anchored in Atlanta since 1966, with a modern era of success in the 2020s, enduring player landmarks like Hank Aaron's home-run totals, and a large, commercially active ballpark operation at Truist Park.
