ROME, GA. — The Rome Braves and the Greater Rome Convention & Visitors Bureau (GRCVB) will be offering special promotional packages as a part of the Atlanta Braves Exhibition Game set for Saturday, March 29, 2014 at State Mutual Stadium.

“This is certainly an unprecedented sporting event for Georgia’s Rome. Bringing the Atlanta Braves here to play—and welcoming some of the past Rome Braves home—is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity for us all,” said Ann Hortman, director of the Rome Sports Commission at the Greater Rome Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Participating hotels include Country Inn & Suites, Econo Lodge, Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham and Holiday Inn Express. Packaged rates range from $178 to $278, all taxes included.
