In a city famous for filming ‘The Walking Dead,’ Atlanta has always had an interest in zombies and zombie apocalypses! And now we’ve got some cool news for ya about our beloved city! A cheeky new study conducted by FlashPicks, ranks which MLB stadiums are best equipped to survive a hypothetical zombie apocalypse–and it turns out, Atlanta is a pretty good spot to be if zombies start coming!

Wait… huh?

Yeah, you read that right! According to the study, Truist Park ranks fifth overall, with a total survival rate score of 59.8%. How do we feel about those odds, Atlanta?

Here is the top 10 ranking of MLB ballparks that could survive a hypothetical zombie apocalypse:

1. T-Mobile Park – Seattle Mariners
2. Globe Life Field – Texas Rangers
3. Great American Ball Park – Cincinnati Reds
4. Wrigley Field – Chicago Cubs
5. Truist Park – Atlanta Braves
6. Daikin Park – Houston Astros
7. Coors Field – Colorado Rockies
8. Rogers Centre – Toronto Blue Jays
9. American Family Field – Milwaukee Brewers
10. Busch Stadium – St. Louis Cardinals

How’d they come up with this data?

Well, here’s why FlashPicks figures Atlanta’s Truist Park would hold up against a zombie apocalypse,

Key to its strong features are [Truist Park’s] four-tier structure, a roof, and an underground section, which is currently used for parking and infrastructure, that could function as an underground bunker providing maximum security from potential invasions.Truist Park is also located 13.3 miles away from Atlanta city center, which is the farthest distance an MLB ballpark is from a city center, which reduces the risk of survivors encountering huge swarms of zombies. The ballpark’s relatively close proximity to water, at just 0.7 miles away from Rottenwood Creek, means survivors won’t have to venture too far either to find water. However, unfortunately the ballpark is let down by its Seashore Paspalum playing surface, which is unable to grow crops, meaning survivors will need to find an external food source.

So don’t sweat it, Atlanta! If a zombie apocalypse ever breaks out… we’ve got a pretty good shot at survival!
