Chick Fil A Parking question

This is going to be my first neutral site game, and I was wondering how parking was going to work, or if there was some sort of map showing where all of the different parking lots are. I plan on staying at a hotel about 20 mins from the stadium, and I was wondering where the parking areas were, and if there were going to be buses for the further out lots. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Where are you staying? If you're that far out, MARTA is probably your best bet. The train runs right next to the Dome.

I'm not sure yet, just got tix, and booking a hotel in a few days. Is there somewhere that has details on the train? Thanks!

Thanks man. I actually fought my laziness and checked it out myself. If you've had any experience with it, how long of a haul from 5 Points is it to the GA dome? Is it worth it to transfer over to a line to Vine station, or is it a reasonable walk? Additionally, I plan on leaving probably from one of the top 2 stations, and I am not sure if I understand the site's descriptions. Do all of the stations run all day? Or do they stop at a certain point? Additionally, can I get a round trip pass at any station, or does it have to be at a certain station? Thanks for any help!

I've used Marta quite a few times, but mostly to and from the airport and occasionally to Phillips Arena. It's fairly dependable from a time perspective, and any variations are dependent on the number of people getting off and on at a station. I'm thinking maybe 15-20 minutes from 5 Points (+/-), and you can pick up round trip passes at any station.

Make the transfer. Believe me...you will be with a full Orange Nation on MARTA that day. Me included...and I'm only a 10 minute drive from the Dome...but will be taking MARTA down for FanFare + game.

Sounds great! I hope to see you fellas at the tailgate. I'll probably sniff around at the TSR tailgate at Castleberry Inn... Unhhhhh. If any of you recognize me, I'll be the fat 20 year old in all Orange walking around with my 20 year old buddy from NCSU decked out in all red who wants to see what real SEC tailgating is. If you do see us, let us know and show him how we do it in the SEC!
