| How To Get From Atlanta Airport To Mercedes Benz Stadium |
Option 1: MARTA - Your Subway Savior
If you're looking to save some cash and avoid the traffic, MARTA is your new best friend. It's Atlanta's rapid transit system, or as we like to call it, the "magic carpet ride to fun." The Red and Gold lines will whisk you away from the airport to the heart of downtown, right where the stadium is waiting. It's cheap, it's easy, and it's a great way to soak in the city vibes. Just make sure you don't accidentally end up in the suburbs.
Tip: Note one practical point from this post.
Option 2: Taxi or Rideshare - For the Impatient
If you're running late for kickoff (or simply hate public transportation), a taxi or rideshare might be your jam. Just be prepared to pay a pretty penny, especially during rush hour or game days. And let's not forget about the traffic. It can be a real party killer. But hey, at least you'll be in style.
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.

Option 3: Rent a Car - For the Freedom Lovers
If you're planning to explore Atlanta beyond the stadium, renting a car might be a good option. You'll have the freedom to come and go as you please, but be warned: Atlanta traffic can be a beast. Plus, you'll have to deal with parking, which can be a nightmare on game days. But if you're up for the challenge, go for it!
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
Tips for Game Day Survival
