re: MARTA question for ATL area Tigers

at five points, you want to get on the West bound train and get off at the dome. You already paid to get in Marta, might as well use it.

It will let you out 2 blocks from your seat in the dome, and right among the best of the tailgating.

I wouldn't have a problem with taking marta after the game. marta is scarier when it's lightly used. Saturday night should be busy on most all the trains.

I believe the fare is $2 each way. No fee to transfer from one line to another as long as you don't leave the station. Thus if you ride the north/south line to Five Points, you can transfer to the west line and ride to the GA Dome station. Also note, that some outlying stations charge for parking and others do not (at least during the week), not sure about weekends. We're staying out by Stone Mtn with my in-laws and will drive into Kennsignton or Avondale and hop the train like we always do when we go to Atlanta to watch the Tigers.

OK...New MARTA QUESTION..

What about going from downtown to the buckhead pub crawl...

How late do they run going back

It stops at 10 or 11pm. But for events they make arrangements to run later. So you'd probably have to drive yourself or do taxi if you're just going out.

Yeah, it was crammed with Braves/Red Sox fans when we went. Safer than driving in the 3 hour long traffic to get to the stadium yourself, IMO.

It was to Turner when the Sox were in town. Never actually experienced it, the Marta people told us when the Sox or Yanks come to town to expect 3 hours of traffic/parking time. So they advised us to use marta. Which was fine with me, I hate driving in ATL.
