## MARTA rail to SEC District

Board at Airport Station, inside the Domestic Terminal between the North and South baggage claims. Ride Red or Gold to Five Points, follow the signs to a Blue or Green train, and ride to SEC District, which leaves you at the State Farm Arena Gate 4 entrance and in front of Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with a pathway on to the Georgia World Congress Center. Tap the same payment method each time to keep the free transfer. If you land at the International Terminal, MARTA's station is not there: ride the free International Terminal shuttle from the arrivals level to the Domestic Terminal baggage claim first (MARTA gives about 15 minutes and says it runs 24/7).

## MARTA rail to Vine City

Board at Airport Station, inside the Domestic Terminal between the North and South baggage claims. Same route to Five Points, then Blue or Green to Vine City, which has a pedestrian bridge across the street to the stadium. Discover Atlanta's local rider boards back at Vine City after events, one stop before SEC District, to dodge the crowd. If you land at the International Terminal, MARTA's station is not there: ride the free International Terminal shuttle from the arrivals level to the Domestic Terminal baggage claim first (MARTA gives about 15 minutes and says it runs 24/7).

## Good to know

- Check the Green Line's end time: MARTA's special rail schedules page lists it as running until 9 p.m. on several days, and the Blue Line listings carry no end time. Both reach Five Points, where Red and Gold take you back to the airport.
- Discover Atlanta says the stadium is cashless. Its pages give no Falcons gate or tailgate times, so confirm those with the team.
- ATL publishes no left-luggage desk or lockers. The Signia by Hilton Atlanta Georgia World Congress Center is connected to the Georgia World Congress Center, next to the stadium and State Farm Arena.
