Attendance to the Oct. 17 Georgia Tech Homecoming game is expected to be 50,000. Kick-off is at 6pm, so alternate travel to downtown and midtown on Saturday is advised as traffic will be heavy on the downtown connector and around North Avenue.

If you are going to the game, you can easily take MARTA to Bobby Dodd Stadium.  If you are planning to attend another event in the area, be advised that you might also want to take MARTA, especially to easily accessible venues such as Phillips Arena, the Fox Theatre and the Woodruff Arts Center.  The Arts Center and Midtown Stations also offer easy walking access to many bars and clubs.
