Public Transportation: Leave the Driving to the Weekend Warriors
Let's be honest, Atlanta traffic can be a real doozy. Why not skip the stress and arrive relaxed (and maybe a little smug) by using Atlanta's public transportation system, MARTA? Here's the lowdown:
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.
MARTA Train + Bus: Take the train to the Arts Center or Midtown Station. From there, hop on a connecting bus (either the #10 or #12) to the Cumberland Transfer Center. Finally, a free shuttle, the Cumberland District Circulator, will whisk you straight to Truist Park's doorstep.
Pros: Relax and enjoy the game pre-buzz without staring at brake lights. Eco-friendly choice! High fives from Mother Nature.
Cons: Might involve a few transfers, so plan your trip with

Driving Yourself: Channel Your Inner Dale Earnhardt (But Not Literally)
Alright, you want to take the wheel? Strap in, because Atlanta's highways can be a wild ride. Here's a cheat sheet to get you to Truist Park in one piece:
Tip: Break long posts into short reading sessions.
From Downtown Atlanta: Take I-75 North for about 8 miles, then switch to I-285 West for a bit. Look for Exit 19 (US-41/Cobb Parkway) and follow that to Truist Park.
From Hartsfield-Jackson Airport: This is a pretty straightforward shot. Take Camp Creek Parkway to I-20 West, then hop on I-285 North. Exit 19 (US-41/Cobb Parkway) is your friend again.
Pros: Freedom of the open road! Crank up your favorite Braves jams and belt them out (though maybe not while driving).
Cons: Parking can get pricey near the stadium, so be prepared. Traffic woes are a real possibility, especially on game days. Don't forget the designated driver – nobody wants a strikeout before the game even starts!
Other Options: Ballin' on a Budget (or in Style)
Ridesharing: Feeling fancy? Lyft or Uber can be a convenient option, especially if you're splitting the cost with a group.
Biking: For the truly adventurous (and possibly crazy) fan, there are bike racks near the stadium. Just be sure you've got the legs for those Atlanta hills!
