IMPORTANT: For you guys that are coming to the game in ATL on Monday, come early. We have FSU vs. Bama on Saturday night. No doubt many of their fans will be hanging around on the weekend. There is also a huge Dragon Con convention downtown, and a black gay pride event downtown. On top of that, there is all the Labor Day I-75 and I-85 traffic which goes through ATL. In other words, traffic is going to be a problem.
Parking is essentially the same as it was for the Georgia Dome; however, local officials recommend that you try to book a lot in advance.
If you want some good BBQ, go to Fox Brothers near downtown.
