is gonna be Sept. 1st against Auburn...as far as parking goes, how does that work? I was thinking of just parking around one of the various spots near the CNN building and walking down...is that a good idea? or is there a better one?? thanks

There are big parking garages

around Ga Dome but those are a nightmare getting out after the game. I've only been for the Peach Bowl which is New Years Eve so that might have made it worse. Second time around I stayed in Buckhead and took Marta but this wasn't much better. Atlanta just sucks in my opinion, I hope Charlotte starts an annual big game at the beginning of season b/c it's a much better city to visit and get in and out of.

There are varying opinions on this....

but if you don't have a parking pass, alot of people would suggest that you park at one of the outlying stations (Chamblee, Lexon, or Doraville) and take Marta to the Dome. The biggest downside is that you generally have to wait in some pretty long lines for an outbound train after the game.

Unless you can pick one up on StubHub or Craigs List ....

my guess is all of the parking passes issued by the event have already been allocated. There are other private parking options around the Dome but some of those are in some "not too nice" areas. If you're planning on spending the night, I would suggest one of the hotels within walking distance of the Dome (The Omni, Hilton Garden Inn, Embassy Suites, etc.) and just leave your car at the hotel.

Thanks. I just relived one of the worst times of my life...

after the Bama game I was in the "sobering up but feeling like death" stage and when we finally crammed ourselves into the Marta I could barely breathe and all I could smell was hot, humid body odor and somehow I didn't puke on the train. Rest assured, I let it loose when I got off. Good times.

marta is very easy. catch one of the stations at the end of the easternmost line. plenty of cheap parking and still a fairly quick train ride that literally lets you off at the stadium.

MARTA. It will take you longer to get back to your car than the game itself. Find a ground parking lot with in walking distance. That is the treasure. Sorry don't have specific suggestions on lots.

I always take MARTA from Northside Hospital right off 285. The parking lot is always empty and it's the second stop down from the top of the line (seating still available).
Philips Arena I park for Hawks games and it's $10 under the belly. Easy walking distance to the Dome.
This event should have me over atleast 200 events. I even saw the Olympic gymnastics not knowing anything about it.
