The Atlanta Braves’ Fan Experience team was recently honored with the 2026 Golden Matrix Award for ‘Best Overall Production’ by the Information Display and Entertainment Association (IDEA). The IDEA Golden Matrix Award for ‘Best Overall Production’ represents the best game presentation in professional sports and is voted on by membership from teams across professional sports in North America.
The Braves were also recognized by IDEA for ‘Best Tribute Video’ for the Hank Aaron “715” tribute during the 2025 MLB All-Star Game at Truist Park. The awards were presented to the Braves’ Fan Experience team at the annual IDEA Conference in Cincinnati.
"This recognition is a testament to the creativity, passion, and dedication of our Fan Experience team, whose commitment to excellence helps make every Braves game at Truist Park a memorable experience,” said Braves President & CEO Derek Schiller. “We are incredibly proud of what that group accomplishes each day and honored that our peers in the industry have recognized their work. Thank you to IDEA and the voters for this prestigious award."
The Braves previously took home the ‘Best Overall Production in Baseball’ award in both 2023 and 2024.
