The SO and I are trying to decide where to stay for the weekend. Does anyone have any idea of where to expect the majority of tiger fans to be partying? Are there a lot of bars near the stadium or is there another area of the city that will be more popular?

Is midtown too far away from the stadium to stay or does it not really matter?

We’re both in our mid 30s and we looking for an area with plenty of choices of quality restaurants and bars.

I lived in Midtown, and stay in Midtown near a Marta station. Buckhead is also good, if you don't know the area. Use Marta to get to the game.

When I went to the (edit) 2011 SECCG I stayed by the airport and hated it.

Staying at Westin downtown. It's where we always stay for games in Atlanta. Less than a mile walk to the stadium.

Downtown, Midtown, or Buckhead.

I’d try and stay somewhere close to a MARTA station to get to the stadium

I live near Sun Trust Park and the Battery outside the stadium is a great place to dine/drink. However, MARTA doesn't reach up that way so you'll have to Uber/Lyft to the game. If you want to take MARTA, I suggest Midtown or Buckhead. I'd stay away from downtown.

Don’t listen to those who say to stay by the airport. We usually stay at the Westin downtown. Lots of good hotels downtown which are walking distance to the stadium. Midtown is a great area and lots of good places to eat. A short Uber to the stadium. Omni is one of the closest hotels and connected to the CNN center and next to the college football hall of fame.

Cumberland area near the new Braves stadium.

Downtown will be a nightmare. They are having a big boxing event at State Farm arena the same night.

22 years in Atl...

Midtown, Buckhead, etc for good places to stay and eat/drink

You can get away with some spots downtown if you uber, but that’s it

Anyone telling you to stay near the airport is a jerk.

We are staying at the Aloft downtown. Found a great rate ($130/night, ~$160 with fees).
