Truist Park (Home of the Atlanta Braves)
On game days in nearby Cumberland, heading down from Roswell to cheer on the Braves at Truist Park is a breeze in a private charter bus! Your group can pre-game inside an air-conditioned cabin while your driver handles the traffic around The Battery Atlanta.
Major Roadways to Truist Park
Most Roswell groups travel south on GA-400 S, merge onto I-285 W across the top perimeter, and connect to I-75 S or Cobb Parkway (US-41). Your driver can also use Windy Ridge Parkway or Circle 75 Parkway to approach the ballpark gates.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Truist Park
Charter buses drop off and pick up fans curbside along Battery Avenue SE or at the designated oversized vehicle zone near the Red Deck and Delta Deck. Be sure to gather your entire group before calling your driver back to the curb, since active loading rules are strictly enforced.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Truist Park
Official oversized vehicle and charter bus parking is located in Lot 29, just a short walk from the stadium entrances. Passes for Lot 29 must be reserved in advance through the Braves' parking portal before your trip from Roswell.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Portions of Battery Avenue, Windy Ridge Parkway, and Circle 75 Parkway close to general traffic several hours before first pitch. Plan to leave Roswell at least two hours early so your group can clear the I-285/I-75 interchange without missing the first inning!
State Farm Arena (Home of the Atlanta Hawks)
With Roswell
Major Roadways to State Farm Arena
Leaving from Roswell, your driver will take GA-400 S straight into I-85 S and the I-75/I-85 Downtown Connector. From the Connector, exits at Williams Street, Spring Street, or International Boulevard lead directly into the arena district. Depending on rush hour congestion, your driver can also route down Northside Drive (US-41) or Marietta Street NW. Having a local pro at the wheel means your group skips the stress of navigating tight downtown turns!
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at State Farm Arena
Your private bus can unload passengers along Centennial Olympic Park Drive or near the designated loading zones on Andrew Young International Boulevard and Marietta Street. Because downtown Atlanta enforces a strict five-minute anti-idling rule and prohibits curbside waiting, your group should be ready to step off right away. After the final buzzer, meet your group near Gate 1 or the CNN Center atrium entrance before texting your driver to pull up. Once everyone is together, your bus will swing right by so you can hop aboard and head back to Roswell!
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at State Farm Arena
Standard arena decks like the Ruby Lot and Sapphire Deck have low height clearances, so charter buses park and stage at the GWCC Marshalling Yard or oversized surface lots in Centennial Yards. We recommend pre-purchasing your oversized parking pass online ahead of game day so your spot is locked in.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
When a weekday Hawks game overlaps with evening rush hour on GA-400 and the Downtown Connector, travel times from Roswell can easily double. Police also restrict turns along State Farm Drive, Centennial Olympic Park Drive, and Mitchell Street an hour before tip-off and immediately after the event. If a simultaneous concert or football game is happening next door at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, build an extra 45 to 60 minutes into your Roswell departure time. After you book on the national booking platform, our confirmation department calls to verify your exact pickup and drop-off plan!
Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Home of Atlanta United FC and the Atlanta Falcons)
Bringing a crowd of Falcons fans or Atlanta United FC supporters down from Roswell to Mercedes-Benz Stadium has never been easier! Whether you need a 15- to 35-passenger minibus for friends or a 56-passenger charter bus with undercarriage storage for tailgating tents and coolers, our network has the right ride for your headcount. You'll get to enjoy optional onboard WiFi, Bluetooth sound systems, and reclining seats while skipping the long post-game rideshare lines. Best of all, you can book one bus or an entire fleet in just minutes!
Major Roadways to Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Groups departing from Roswell typically head south on GA-400 S to I-85 S, or take I-285 W to I-75 S and exit onto Northside Drive NW. Approaching from the west side via Northside Drive or Ivan Allen Jr. Boulevard NW is usually the fastest way for oversized vehicles to bypass central downtown bottlenecks. Your driver can also use Martin Luther King Jr. Drive SW when arriving from the south end of the Connector. With a driver monitoring live traffic updates, your group stays on track for kickoff!
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Mercedes-Benz Stadium
On game day, your charter bus can drop everyone off at GWCC Bus Lane C along Northside Drive NW, just steps from Gate 1, or at the designated Zone 1 drop-off area off Ivan Allen Jr. Boulevard NW and Centennial Olympic Park Drive. Drivers must remain with the vehicle during active unloading and relocate immediately once the cabin is clear. When the match wraps up, gather your whole roster at the Falcon Statue or Gate 1 before signaling your driver to return to Northside Drive. That way, your entire Roswell group boards together in one smooth stop!
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Charter buses and RVs park in the GWCC Marshalling Yard (Yellow Lot) on Ivan Allen Jr. Boulevard or in designated oversized spaces in the Blue Lot and Orange Lot for tailgating. Always reserve your oversized bus parking pass in advance through the stadium's official parking portal, as spaces sell out fast on Falcons Sundays.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Expect heavy pedestrian traffic and police barricades along AMB Drive NW, Northside Drive, and Mitchell Street SW starting three hours before kickoff. The Home Depot Backyard tailgating area and surrounding Georgia World Congress Center halls draw huge numbers of fans, creating slowdowns all the way back to the I-75/I-85 exits. Leaving Roswell at least two to three hours before kickoff gives your group plenty of time to tailgate and clear clear-bag security. If your schedule changes, the live support team is available 365 days a year at (943) 229-7550 to help!
Gateway Center Arena (Home of the Atlanta Dream)
Rather than driving all the way across the metro in separate cars to see the WNBA's Atlanta Dream or the College Park Skyhawks at Gateway Center Arena, keep your whole group together in a comfortable 25-passenger minibus! Your driver will navigate the entire trip from Roswell to the south side of Atlanta while your group relaxes onboard. It's the easiest way to turn a cross-town game night into a fun group outing!
Major Roadways to Gateway Center Arena
From Roswell, your bus will take GA-400 S straight through Atlanta on the I-75/I-85 Connector to I-85 S, or loop around the west perimeter on I-285 S to Camp Creek Parkway. Both routes connect directly to Riverdale Road and Convention Center Concourse just west of the airport.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Gateway Center Arena
Charter buses can pull directly into the front turnaround loop along Convention Center Concourse outside the main arena entrance for fast, step-free passenger unloading. After the game, assemble your group outside the main box office plaza before calling your driver back to the curb.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Gateway Center Arena
Because the attached Gateway Center Arena parking deck has vertical clearance limits meant for standard passenger cars, full-size motorcoaches and high-roof minibuses cannot enter the garage. Instead, arena staff direct charter buses to designated surface overflow lots adjacent to the Georgia International Convention Center (GICC) off Camp Creek Parkway. If your group is staying nearby or flying in, your driver can also stage at local hotel lots or coordinate with airport shuttle staging areas near Hartsfield-Jackson. Be sure to confirm oversized lot availability with the venue box office prior to your event date!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Because Gateway Center Arena sits right next to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and the GICC, traffic on I-85 S, I-285, and Camp Creek Parkway is heavy throughout the afternoon and evening. Allow at least 60 to 75 minutes for the drive south from Roswell, especially on weekday game nights.Arriving an hour before tip-off ensures your bus clears the Convention Center Concourse loop before the pre-game rush!
Sanford Stadium (Home of the Georgia Bulldogs)
Roswell
Major Roadways to Sanford Stadium
Your driver will take GA-140 E (Holcomb Bridge Road) or I-285 E to I-85 N, then follow GA-316 E (University Parkway) straight into Athens. From GA-316, your bus merges onto the Athens Perimeter (US-78/GA-10 Loop) and exits at College Station Road or East Campus Road.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Sanford Stadium
Depending on your assigned campus lot, charter buses unload passengers along East Campus Road or at designated game-day charter zones near the Intramural Fields. Coordinate a clear post-game meeting landmark with your driver before heading "Between the Hedges," as cell service can be spotty with 92,000+ fans on campus.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Sanford Stadium
The University of Georgia directs private charter buses to park at the Intramural Fields (Lot E01) off College Station Road or in pre-reserved private charter lots around Athens. Campus bus permits must be purchased well in advance through UGA Athletics, and complimentary campus shuttles help fans connect from the Intramural Fields toward the stadium.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
On UGA football Saturdays, Sanford Drive, Field Street, Hooper Street, and parts of Lumpkin Street close to non-permitted vehicles up to five hours before kickoff. Traffic along GA-316 E backs up early in the morning, and post-game contraflow patterns direct traffic out to the Athens Loop. We recommend departing Roswell at least four to five hours before kickoff so your group gets prime tailgating time in Athens!
