If you're driving from bham on game day your best bet will be tk park at the Hamilton Holmes Marta station just inside the perimeter and Marta in

Do not talk or text when crossing the state line.

No, free parking. $2.50 per trip on the train so $5 round trip will get you to the stadium and back. If you're interested I can give more detail tmrw on a comp

The yellow and blue lots at MBS look far away on the map but are actually a ~10 minute walk and it’s a hella lot easier to get out after the game. They’re closer to i75/85 and less traffic.

I usually park at the Hamilton Holmes station. Easy to get back on the interstate when you leave.

Parking might fill up, so go kind of early. Train ride in to the stadium is always easy, but sometimes you have to wait in line for the train after the game.

ETA - there are huge lots on both sides of the station, so if the one next to the interstate is full, just go around the corner to the other side.

Sorry I forgot, most everything has been mentioned already though. You don't need to buy the reloadable breeze pass, you can just buy the round trip ticket. From tbe HH station you're on the blue line, very simple. Get on the train eastbound, you can get off at either vine city or the dome stop. After the game do the opposite. After the game though there are 2 lines (blue and green) going westbound, so make sure you get on blue going to Hamilton Holmes.

I'd get there at least 3 hours before the game.

Here's a station map, you can see what I meant about the colors. Going to game is nothing to worry about, afterwards you have to get on the blue line.

When you first get to the lot you'll find a kiosk and follow the directions from there to buy your round trip pass. There isn't like a booth with a person, only kiosk.
