I was able to see 90% of the action without any difficulty at all. Considering the quality of the game and the general atmosphere inside the building, I would definitely pay that money again to sit there rather than on my couch.

6 weeks 4 days ago	No problem. Lenox would be an	No problem. Lenox would be an easier drive from Suwanee and it would work just fine if that's what you waned to do. The upside of Buckhead is that it's going to a bit busier and more of a party vibe/extension of the Final Four. Probably a ton of fellow M fans. The downsides are that 1) you have to transfer from the East/West line to the North/South line to get to/from the Dome (it's not a huge deal but just one more thing to delay you) and 2) after you got back, you would have to get in your car and then drive from the MARTA station to the part of Buckhead where everyone will be partying. In Decatur, it will be a little more low-key and a local feel, but it's all already right there around the MARTA station. The thing is...Michigan is going to win and we're all going to be happy no matter what.
6 weeks 4 days ago	I like the idea of driving	I like the idea of driving from Suwanee to a MARTA station and then taking MARTA into the game. Traffic is going to be incredibly awful downtown and you're already driving a long way from Suwanee. The only issue is that MARTA doesn't run past 1 a.m. so you'd have to get back to the station where your car is parked by that time. Since M is the late game that basically means you would need to leave the dome and hop on MARTA pretty soon after the game ends and do your celebrating once you got off the train (i.e. away from the dome). In that respect, I actually think your plan of parking in Decatur and using that MARTA is a pretty great idea because there is plenty to do around the Decatur MARTA station. You'd leave the game, get back to Decatur and could then hang out there for as long as you wanted before you drove back to Suwanee. The MARTA station in Decatur does not have a dedicated parking lot, so you'd have to park in a flat lot nearby ($5 probably). Here is the lot I always park at when I go to Decatur. Right next to the MARTA station and all of the bars and restaurants you want to check out (go to Brickstore!). You shouldn't have any problem getting a spot there if you got there in the afternoon. Another added benefit is that the Dome stop and the Decatur stop are both on the East/West line, so you don't have to transfer at all. Super easy. So I guess that's a long-winded way of saying yes, your plan makes sense.

Fox Bros. is another great suggestion, and that's a little closer (in the general area of Little 5 Points). A couple more I'll add for kicks: Daddy D'z, which is the closest to downtown, and Bone Lick over on the west side.
6 weeks 6 days ago	Hate to say it but there	Hate to say it but there probably is not much available that's under $100 (or even $200) and within walking distance to a MARTA station. Staying by the airport is not something I would recommend normally, but if you're on a tight budget, it wouldn't be the worst thing ever in this case. If you wanted to get to downtown/midtown from there, the cheapest way would be to get a short cab ride to the nearest MARTA station ($5-$10) and then take MARTA into the city ($2.50 flate rate each way). Be aware, though, MARTA only runs until 1 a.m. so if you're out later than that you're looking at a $30-$40 cab ride back down to any hotel near the airport.
6 weeks 6 days ago	Thanks for filling in the	Thanks for filling in the gaps, especially with respect to Buckhead. I know I am overly harsh about that area of town, but for people here for one or two nights, it's probably not a bad place to be at all. I'm in total agreement about your advice on the strip clubs. Pony > Cheetah, despite it being less convenient to get to. And your second to last point is critical.
7 weeks 5 hours ago	Buford Hwy.	Yeah, if anyone wants to explore the Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese and Mexican offerings - all of which are extremely authentic - then just drive north on Buford Hwy for about 10 miles. You'll know when you're there because all of the signs will be in different languages.

11 weeks 3 days ago	My Perspective	As a young'n, I got to watch Michigan win a national title in bball, witness the Fab Five era first hand, and all the while know that I'd be going to football games where the team I was cheering for would be amongst the best in the country. Then, in '97, everything was taken to another level of awesomeness. I went to all of the home games that year, went to the MSU game, went to the PSU game, went to the Rose Bowl, and it was nothing but joy and happiness. So all of this crap in the last several years just makes me cherish those moments even more. At the time, success was all that I knew, and that was cool and all, but maybe not totally grounded in reality. Weird as it may sound, I like that the last few years have proven that those were really special times, and I was glad to be a part of it.

I understand what you're getting at, but seriously the talent pool down here is so incredibly deep, and a lot of kids want to stay close to home. Georgia Tech has an excellent reputation for devloping kids and getting them into the MLB, so for a lot of kids it's not a difficult decision.
