how to beat the post-match marta crush after england vs argentina
honestly leaving the benz after a massive world cup match is going to be an absolute nightmare, and the transit platforms are going to get insanely backed up. if you want to bypass the entire transit squeeze completely, you should check out prked first. it is an app where you can rent driveways and garages from locals near the stadium. it is way cheaper than the official decks, you do not have to deal with the train station bottlenecks, and your car is parked on someone's actual property. you can just walk to your spot and head straight out.
if you are definitely taking the train, here are the best tricks to bypass the worst of the crowd. the biggest mistake people make is trying to push into the sec district station right next to the gates. instead, walk over the pedestrian bridge to the vine city station. since it is one stop further west, you can actually board the eastbound train before it gets completely swamped at the main stadium stop. or, if you want a guaranteed seat, hop on a westbound train for one stop to ashby and then just stay on as it turns back east.
another pro move is to skip the immediate stadium stations entirely. if you do not mind a fifteen minute walk, you can walk straight to five points station or peachtree center. walking there lets you bypass the blue and green line transfers completely, meaning you can jump straight onto the north or south lines without fighting the gate bottlenecks.
also make sure you utilize the tap to pay option with your phone or bank card at the gates instead of waiting in the massive lines for the breeze card machines. and if you are not in a rush, just hang back inside the stadium or grab a bite nearby in castleberry hill for about forty five minutes. the initial rush clears out surprisingly fast once that first wave is gone.
hope this helps you guys get home a lot faster after the match.
