'Gwinnett Stripers Tickets'

'The team known today as the Gwinnett Stripers has been the Triple-A affiliate for the Atlanta Braves since 1966. The team, originally called the Braves, was located in Richmond, Va., from 1966 until the relocation at the beginning of the 2009 season. The team made it to the league championship in their first season in Richmond but struggled to maintain any success until the mid-70s. Starting in 1976, the Richmond Braves went on an impressive run where they made the playoffs each season through 1983 including their first league championship in 1978. The Richmond Braves proceeded to win four more International League titles before their transition to Gwinnett. It took some time for the Braves to return to prominence after their move to Georgia and the team didn't make it back to the championship series until 2016. The announcement that the team would be rebranded came before the 2018 season, making the Triple-A affiliate the first Braves minor league team to be known as something other than the Braves. The team name was changed to the Stripers as a nod to local anglers. You can get your Gwinnett Stripers tickets at StubHub.'

'Where do the Gwinnett Stripers play their home games?'

'Coolray Field has been the home of the Stripers since they relocated to Gwinnett for the 2009 season. Coolray Field has the distinction of being the second closest minor league affiliate to the team's Major League field, as the team plays only 35 minutes from the Braves stadium. The stadium experience provides fans a glance to the future while still paying tribute to the storied history of the Atlanta Braves. Braves legend Phil Niekro owns a pub inside the 10,475-seat stadium, and the team shop was renamed as Bobby's Bait to pay tribute to Braves Hall of Fame manager, Bobby Cox.'
