    Can anyone suggest places to visit on the off-day Wednesday?  We are thinking the freedom trail, the aquarium and the Jimmy Carter library.  Anyting else?   Thanks!
    See all the recommendations. A short day trip to Banning Mills near Six Flags has amazing zip lining. Very fun. Very pretty.

    There is a civil rights museum near MLK’s house, burial site, and church. Worth a visit.

    Tour of the Fox Theater is actually nice.

    The aquarium is nice as well. Virginia Highlands is a nice neighborhood for food/bars.

    Plaza theater is good for old and new movies. It’s been there for a LONG time.

    Two Atl N1 - SEC 110 ROW T. I don't need them but depending on how long they last it might be a sign that the bots are done for that night.

    Zoo Atlanta, College Football Hall of Fame (if you like college football), World of Coke.  If you go to the Jimmy Carter library, check out Little 5 Points which is nearby.  Lots of shops, record stores, restaurants (I recommend The Vortex or Fox Bros BBQ). 
    Fat Matt's Rib Shack

    The MLK Museum and his old church are well done.

    Atlanta traffic is hellacious, so you have been warned. I travelled there every week for work for 3 years (that I don't remember).
    Thanks for the traffic warning.  Is the drive from the airport to downtown at around 4pm on a Tuesday affected by the traffic?
    The ATL metro has a stop literally beside baggage claim at the airport. It isn't the greatest metro on earth, but it will get you to the arena from the airport.

    Thanks....looks like a better alternative opposed to a taxi or Uber.  My hotel is just a 5 minute walk from the station on Peachtree.

    MARTA super easy, and between the Airport and Peachtree Center you can't get on the wrong train, just make sure you're heading South towards the Airport on your wait out of town.  From the Airport you can get on either train line (RED or GOLD) and both only head South towards downtown.

    Land at Hartsfield ~9:30pm and looks to be roughly $30 for an Uber downtown. 

    Is that fairly accurate?

    Seems right. It runs me close to $85(one way 35 miles) to uber in from far northeast suburb so I just suffer being the DD and pay $40-50 parking.

    A lot of cheaper places around if you don’t mind a 15-20 walk. You can check out SpotHero. I find even after the walk it’s about the same as trying to get out of the stadium parking.

    I know but I’m old fat and lazy. CNN deck right across the street is my go to spot. Easy in and out. Few weeks ago caught Billy Strings for the weekend. Friday night was $40 and Saturday was $50 because of the 5 Stripes game at MB. Call me a creature of habit - or call me lazy. I’ve parked all over for different reasons and keep going back for my convenience.

    No problem with being a creature of habit. I’ve always done the ACS on the other side of the park.

    Just booked Airbnb for 3 nights for 130. Right next to a Marta station and just a couple stops to get downtown.  Been, what, 5 months since we initially got tickets.  Will be nice visiting Atlanta again and not the middle of August this time.
