Chick-fil-A Bowl

Parking / MARTA

The quickest, most hassle-free ride to the Dome will be on MARTA—check www.itsmarta.com for system maps. MARTA train passengers are encouraged to use the Dome/Philips/GWCC station for a quick hop to and from the North, South and East lines. Falcons fans without reserved parking are strongly encouraged to take MARTA or other regional transit to the games to avoid weekend traffic on the highways and city traffic for other downtown activities. MARTA offers free daily parking at 21 of its stations.

PARKING ADVISORY: Please be aware that there will be limited access to the Gulch parking lot (Falcons Lot A or B) for the 2009 Chick-fil-A Bowl. Access in and out of this parking area will be restricted at times to coordinate with the traffic plan that will be in place for the Peach Drop at Underground Atlanta. If you do choose to park here, please keep this in mind as it may significantly increase the time you will have to remain in the lot after our event. MARTA is always a preferred method of travel to the Georgia Dome.
