Getting There: MARTA, the A-Line and Drop-Off

MARTA, the city's rail and bus system, has two stops near the stadium: SEC District and Vine City stations. The venue describes SEC District Station (formerly GWCC/CNN Center) as the preferred stop, located right at the doorstep of Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and says it works well for both arrival and departure. MARTA costs $2.50 each way, according to the venue's transportation page.

The better Breeze system lets riders skip the vending machine line by using tap to pay.

The MARTA Rapid A-Line also reaches the stadium. Riders exit at South Downtown and take a short walk to the stadium. The A-Line is a 5-mile roundtrip connecting Downtown Atlanta with the Capitol Gateway, Summerhill, Peoplestown and the Atlanta BeltLine, and A-Line riders can connect to MARTA's rail system at Five Points, Georgia State and Garnett Stations.

If you are being dropped off by rideshare, the venue names Zone 1 at GWCC Bus Lane C on Northside Drive as a rideshare location, approximately a 10-minute walk from the stadium. Zone 2 is described as best for guests exiting Gates 2 through 4. If waits at Zone 2 run long, the closest MARTA station for an expedited departure is Garnett Station on the Red and Gold Line; if waits at Zone 1 run long, the closest station is Vine City Station on the Blue and Green Line.

Fetii, a group shuttle service the venue lists, stages buses for pickup on 17 ½ Street at Atlantic Station.

The Fetii Gameday Shuttle is available for Falcons games only, with shuttles departing Atlantic Station starting two hours before kickoff and ending at kickoff in staggered departures, and the last shuttle leaving the stadium 90 minutes after the game. The venue states that this shuttle is not wheelchair accessible.

It is free, is provided in partnership with the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition for Atlanta Falcons games and Atlanta United matches, and is available starting two hours before the event and one hour after each event.
