In addition to football and soccer games, large concerts and other events also take place here, including the 2020 NCAA Final Four.

  •  If you plan to go to a bar or restaurant before an event, or want to visit the College Football Hall of Fame, use the GWCC/CNN station
  • The Vine City station has a pedestrian bridge to the stadium, and is a good station to use if you are boarding a train at the Hamilton E. Holmes station or prefer less crowds.
