Flights are mostly gone/vastly over-priced....driving is a 9 Hr. pain, then parking head-aches etc. ! Consider the 11 1/2 hr. train ride from N.O. to Atl. for $ 132 roundtrip ! Then utilize MARTA to get around the city !

Driving is a pain but adding 1/3 travel time and riding on a train with nasty people is a better option for you??

Sounds like you are sweating the small stuff and missing the bigger picture. Get over yourself

You could take a hot air balloon, you could hitchhike, you could walk if you leave now.

No MARTA station convenient to Amtrak. You’ll have to take cab/Uber to your hotel when you initially get there.

I did Megabus from NOLA to ATL for the SEC game because I didn't feel like driving. Original trip only cost me $13, but I changed my departure date and it bumped the cost to $50.

Bus is double decker and has 81 seats. Stops to pick up in Mobile, stops for 20 minutes in Evergreen for a pit stop, stops to pick up in Montgomery and drops off at Civic Center MARTA Station.

Trip takes about 9 hours.

Drive, leave early so you avoid traffic in major cities, park at the hotel and uber the rest of the time you are there.

It's not really that hard.

If you are leaving from Killian you don't even have to worry about leaving early to avoid BR traffic.

I'm 62 yr old grandmother and I took my 18 yr old granddaughter to the game. I drove the whole way and it was an easy drive. Quit whining!

Went to the SEC Championship. Parking is extremely easy. Park in one of the 600 parking garages in downtown for $10 and then walk 15 mins to the stadium and back

MARTA isn’t a typical subway. Unless your hotel and restaurants are right on the MARTA line and near a stop, you’d have to walk a long way to get to where you’re going. Or take Uber to and from the MARTA station. And MARTA covers VERY little of the city.

SEC CHAMPIONSHIP Hitched RV. Drove 7 hours. Next day drive 40 minutes to Marta station. Band before game. Game. Marta to truck. Truck to RV. Home.

Better than flights, rental cars, UBERs, hotels, trains, buses.

PEACH BOWL. Rinse. Repeat.
