Officials encourage public transportation to Clemson-Bama game
August 24, 2008
News flash: There is road construction in Atlanta.
OK, maybe that’s not a surprise to anyone who’s visit Georgia’s capital city, say, in the last 30 years.
But it could particularly bad this weekend. If you have a ticket to the Alabama-Clemson game, game officials are eager to spread the word about public transportation options.
Major lane closures are scheduled on the downtown connector, so officials are encouraging fans to take MARTA rapid transit system to the game at the Georgia Dome.
For $1.75 each way, customers can take the East/West rail line and walk directly into the Dome or to Centennial Olympic Park. Customers taking the North/South rain line will need to transfer to the West Line at Five Points rail station and travel one stop to the Dome/GWCC, Philips Arena/CNN Center Station.
Train service runs from 5 a.m. until 1 a.m. Parking for less than 24 hours is free at all Marta parking facilities. Fans traveling on I-85 North from Alabama can park at Exit 72 (Camp Creek Parkway). Travel a block past I-85 and turn right at the College Park Station sign. Continue through two traffic lights and turn left in the College Park Station.
