Atlanta question

[Jeff Ream]

Hey! May be attending Atlanta this summer as I’ll be in the area at that time. How easy/accessible is the stadium for public transportation?

Parking is a complete and utter nightmare. Get there an hour and a half before you think you would need to. The venue sucks, bring lots of water. You will have to do a bit of walking too.

Is Marta close? And I’m an Allentown vet, so I’m not expecting luxury suite amenities

If you were going to the Centennial Park area & MB Stadium. 🥲😁 But what @really4325 said above. That stadium is just to the east of I-85 & south of I-20 below the old Turner Field. If you don't drive, I'd probably Uber or Lyft. Horrible area that they're trying to rejuvenate. I haven't been back since they left the MB Stadium. You could probably ride the bus system, but... 🤷‍♂️ Sad... Good luck & 'Godspeed'!

I purposely avoided that show after Murfreesboro and went over to Winston-Salem.

If you're going to be in town, I'd go. (Add Winston-Salem on Sunday if possible.) You may like the venue as I have friends who both like it & hate it. But be sure to hydrate; start drinking H2O or Gatorade on Friday! 😁

In what part of the city will you be staying? Marta does not run directly to the stadium, but nearby. I think the 832 bus stops about a 3 minute walk away. Subway is about 10 minutes out. Not sure about run time. No matter what, I would plan to get there early. There is nothing predictable about transit in Atlanta. 

I’m local, so I just drive in. Stadium isn’t great, but it’s live DCI, so I’ll take it! I’ve been at the show the last two years and have enjoyed it.

we will be near the aquarium. it wasn't on my bucket list until the other reason we will be in town popped up...and my wife and daughter were for it. it'll be interesting to see the changes from Atlanta to Allentown in person
