Save the date…………..Wednesday, June 18th. The Atlanta Braves will pay tribute to the Atlanta icon and eight-time GRAMMY award-winning artist Usher on Wednesday, June 18. They will have an Usher Bobblehead gate giveaway and celebration at Truist Park and The Battery Atlanta. The Braves will be hosting their NFC East rival, New York Mets. This night will feature an array of special activations that will honor Usher’s impact on the entertainment industry and beyond. The first 15,000 fans through the gates of Truist Park will receive an exclusive Usher Bobblehead. This one-of-a-kind bobblehead was designed in collaboration with Usher and features the iconic “Peace Up, A-Town” hand-gesture.
Fans are encouraged to arrive early, as celebrations will begin before the game in The Battery Atlanta. Fans will have the opportunity to enjoy live music with a DJ playing Usher’s greatest hits in tribute to the icon. A ‘Coming Home Diner’ food truck, whose name pays homage to Usher’s first release as an independent artist, will also feature specialty food items. Menu items will include ‘OMG’ – Fried Fish and Grits, ‘My Way’ – Lemon Pepper Wet Chicken Wings, ‘Yeah’ – Shrimp and Grits, and more. This one-of-a-kind food truck will be in The Battery Atlanta Plaza outside of First Base Gate. Usher worked alongside Braves Retail to design and launch a co-branded capsule merchandise collection that will be available exclusively at the Braves Clubhouse Store. As we all know, the legendary Usher has released classic albums like Confessions in a 30-year span.
This isn’t the first time the Atlanta Braves have honored Atlanta icons. The Braves have previously honored OutKast and Ludacris with specialty bobbleheads and themed celebrations.
