i am re-posting this from another thread in case anyone needs the info. traffic is going to be nuts on monday. out-of-towners, feel free to pm me or ask questions about using marta to get to the game. build in extra time for getting to the stadium.

an overall fyi
parking at holmes (west line) and college park, east point, lakewood/ft mac stations (south line) is always a good option, although with it being a monday, the lots will still have lots of cars in them from commuters. lakewood usually has plenty of space as they have parking lots on both sides of the station. east and south lines heading inbound probably wont be too bad in the afternoon/evening. all of these stations are easily accessible from the interstates.
the trains on the north lines coming into downtown will already be jam packed from about 4pm - 6:30-7 with commuters and five points station (where the trains intersect) will also be a zoo.
from the east line, you don't have to change trains and can get off at vine city station or the dome station, it's easy. coming from the south, i always get off at garnett (s1) station and walk to the stadium so that i don't have to deal with the madness at five points station. it's about 1/2 - 3/4 mile walk and is pretty easy. a lot of folks park in the lots next to garnett so you won't really be walking solo. it is also much easier leaving southbound to walk back to the garnett station as you don't have to deal with crowds to get on the train.
