In a perfect world, Marta would expand the lines to Turner Field and then run a line up 316 to Athens.
Holy shite, the revenue the city and the Braves would make on drunk UGA students taking a train from Athens to the stadium...
ETA: Not to mention the reduced traffic congestion for Gameday in Athens

Commuter rail (a la NY's Long Island Rail Road) would be a more suitable option than MARTA to Athens.

MARTA doesn't have the money to expand. They get no money from the state, IIRC.
As far as expanding to Athens, a lot of the suburbs of Atlanta don't want anything to do with MARTA, so I doubt that Athens would either.
They reason that it will "bring the unwanted element in" even though right now if the "unwanted element" wants to get up into Cobb and Gwinnett Counties, all they have to do is get on CCT or GCT at Arts Center Station and ride their happy asses up there.
I'm sure Athens and the surrounding communities would take on a similar attitude.
It doesn't matter anyway because, like I said, the money isn't there for it.

In a perfect world Turner Field would be located in Atlantic Station.
