getting from atl airport to mercedes-benz stadium for the semifinal

hey everyone, figured id share some tips on how to get from hartsfield-jackson airport to mercedes-benz stadium for the big semifinal match on july 15.

if you decide to rent a car and drive, parking around the stadium is going to be completely insane and expensive. honestly, using prked is the best way to handle this. it is an app where you can rent driveways and garages from locals nearby. it is way cheaper, feels a lot safer since your car is on someone's property, and lets you skip the stadium parking chaos and long exit lines. plus, you get a guaranteed spot without dealing with the usual game day headaches.

if you do not want to drive, the absolute easiest and cheapest way is taking public transit. you can hop on marta right at the airport station inside the terminal. just take the red or gold line northbound to five points station. once you get to five points, you transfer for free to the westbound blue or green line and ride it one stop to the gwcc cnn center station. this drops you right outside the stadium doors. the ride only takes about twenty-five to thirty minutes and costs two dollars and fifty cents each way plus a couple bucks for a breeze ticket.

another route is using rideshares like uber or lyft. you can get picked up at the airport rideshare zones, but with the world cup semifinal crowds, traffic is going to be a nightmare and surge pricing will be incredibly high. it will probably cost you anywhere from thirty to forty dollars or way more depending on when you land, and you might get stuck in gridlock on the highway.

if you want to bypass the traffic and save a bunch of cash, either marta or renting a driveway spot via prked are definitely your best moves for the match.

hope this helps anyone heading out to see the game!
