MARTA to the Georgia Dome
The Georgia Dome is located at 1 Georgia Dome Drive NW, in between the Dome/GWCC/Philips Arena Station and the Vine City Station on the blue/green rail line that runs east and west through Atlanta.
The Vine City stop will have less traffic and put you more easily on street level near the Dome, while the Dome Station has a direct entrance into the building on a lower level.
If you are coming from the red or gold rail line, you will have to transfer at the Five Points Station. Exit at Five Points and follow the signs to the WESTBOUND platform. It is easy to go up a stairway or escalator that is to the eastbound platform, and often there is no way to get to the train you need that way. Generally, it is usually better to exit to the outside (not center) platform. When in doubt, just follow the signs as there are plenty that can direct you to the westbound train.
Once on the train, the Dome Station, is the first stop. Exit and follow the signs pointing to the Georgia Dome (which has its own exit separate from Philips Arena). Or if you get off at Vine City, merely walk down Rhodes Street when you exit the station (see map).
Other Things to Know
Trains run every 20 minutes after 7 p.m. and on the weekends on the blue/green rail line. Train service across the whole system ends at 1 a.m. Additionally, if you are looking for a close place to park and ride, park at the Inman Park Station and board the first westbound train that arrives. In generally, parking at any station on the blue/green rail line that offers daily parking allows direct commuting without any transfers.
