Do fans usually stay in the city center of Atlanta or the outskirts of Atlanta? Looking for place!

Stay at a place close to a MARTA station and you can get anywhere you want to go.

Metro ATL Rapid Transit Authority

Google the maps of the different lines. Easiest way to get around

The Courtyard by Marriott Atlanta Buckhead is a nice place. It's 2 blocks from the Buckhead Marta station. It's like 2.50 per person to ride. I also saw that they have 9$ day passes.

Pretty much what everyone is saying, Buckhead is a nice area, plenty to do/stay/eat.

But in reality any decent hotel near a Marta station is fine. Marta is pretty painless to move around on and google maps integrates well with it if you are trying to get somewhere.

Does it run to the stadium? It's suck at Jerry's world in Arlington because they don't want train to go there for fear of losing parking revenue.

Stayed at the Hilton Downtown for SECCG. Nice hotel and only a few blocks from the stadium. Right next to the ATl Gold Club

Marriott Marquis Downtown.

On a side note, every Uber driver in Atlanta is an idiot. Downtown area is traffic nightmare. Last but not least, Atlanta is a bum haven. Bums everywhere. I hate Atlanta.

It was basically across the street when the Georgia Dome was there, so it might be a block or three further. If you recall, the GA Dome was still in use while MB was being built.

Walked last time from downtown hotel so don't know exact location of MARTA in relation to MB Stadium.

The MARTA station is literally across the street from MB Stadium.
