To park in the 401 S Mint Street garage, a code is needed to secure the lower rate. Signage and volunteers will be there to help!

The FlashPoint concession stand will serve a variety of classic ballpark foods, including hot dogs, chicken tenders, pretzels, popcorn, soda, and more! Coffee will also be available. Beer from NoDa Brewing will be available at a separate stand in the concourse. Thanks to our generous Exclusive Beer Sponsor, 100% of all alcohol sales will benefit Safe Alliance! Please be aware that Truist Field is a cashless venue.
