BRISTOL, Tenn. — Paramount Bristol will team up with the Atlanta Braves to host the Braves Pitstop on Friday, Aug. 1, prior to the 2025 MLB Speedway Classic at BMS.
Fans from across Braves country are invited to gather at the historic Paramount Bristol Theatre in downtown for two special events: a free matinee watch party of the Braves vs. Reds game, and a one-of-a-kind evening show experience — Atlanta Braves Tonight — featuring former Brave Mark Wohlers, NASCAR driver and broadcaster Michael Waltrip and University of Tennessee Baseball Coach Tony Vitello.
The Braves play the Cincinnati Reds Saturday in the first-ever MLB game to be played in Tennessee at Bristol Motor Speedway.
“This is a rare and exciting opportunity for our community,” said Paramount Bristol Acting Executive Director Sarah Beth Carter.
“We’re honored to partner with the Braves to bring the energy of Major League Baseball directly to fans here in Bristol, ahead of what will be a truly historic weekend.”
