Or if you want to park free in Galleria area go one more exit down to Akers Mill and turn right into the lots basically.


We have trained ex-military specialists on site to make sure you hooligans don't park in our precious work lots.

J/K those people play on their phones and don't look up half the time, but they do have cones up to stop people from parking there if you don't have a hang tag.

Good luck. I tried parking there, saw this, and immediately high-tailed it out of there.

One of our older partners that has season tickets literally made color photo copies of his hang tag and lamenated them. He has like 8 and handed them out to all his friends. Works like a charm (and our lots are always like 90% free for games).

That Marta to Braves shuttle combo was the tits.


This is the first time I have ever heard someone utter these words.

I lived in Brookhaven and hated the shuttle so much that I stopped going to the games regularly.

I didn't mind the shuttle. I actually thought it was pretty well run. Didn't love the long walk through Underground, but I used it a lot from Decatur.

It didn't scare me or anything, it was just such a cheap wake to try and prop up a place selling nothing of value. Stupid and irritating.

Not scary. Just annoying and unneeded. They fixed it after I stopped using it by the buses picking up at Marta.

Yea, I much preferred the last season when they moved it to West End. Get off the train, get on a bus. None of the city trying to prop up Underground and making me walk a mile.

My dad was the director of security for Underground when they first started forcing everyone to go through there to get to the shuttle. He said that the city and mall management forced it on his staff and that it was a dumb idea.

I saw Billy Joel there a few weeks ago. Was an amazing experience. The place is real nice. It honestly feels kinda small inside but it's because of how close all the seats are to the field, which IMO is a major plus.

The area around it still has a lot to be finished and the parking is a freaking nightmare but I'm sure it'll only get better

This guy who keeps talking about how far out the stadium is...you can get there in 15 minutes from Midtown for Christ's sake.


the need a fricking train to the stadium

I have not been to a game there yet, but I did drive by as construction was going on

I have heard it's a fricking nightmare getting in & out for a game

I still want to go though...

We took a shuttle from our hotel and I've never been more happy to not be driving in my life. Traffic was a cluster frick. Didn't help that it was raining. We left during a rain delay so the I don't think it was even the entire stadium leaving at once either.
