I am not able to make the game, but I will go ahead and let you guys know that the Marta station that is at the 1st exit past the I-285 bypass (Exit 52) is a great station to use. I use it every time I attend a Braves game. We ride from there to the downtown station where they have charter buses waiting to transport you too the front steps of Turner Field. Just thought I would throw that out there for y'all
