Atlanta Sports Travel Guide
Plan Atlanta sports travel around a central airport, downtown stadiums, suburban baseball, and major college events.

Getting to the game
- MARTA is effective for downtown venues and airport transfers.
- Truist Park requires a suburban ground plan.
Parking and game-day arrival
- Use MARTA for downtown events when practical; official parking is more important for suburban Truist Park trips.
- Confirm offsite lot hours and pedestrian access because interstate traffic and road closures can change arrival routes.
Parking inventory, prices, entry gates, tailgating policies, and rideshare zones can change by event. Confirm current details through the venue or event organizer before traveling.
Game-day planning
- Do not book a downtown-only itinerary for a Truist Park game without arranging transportation.
- Use rail for downtown events when practical.
