We are from CT, and bus down to NYC just to fly out because it is a lot cheaper being 2 major airport hubs.
With 10 people going, your costs will be very achievable with fund raising/sponsorship.
When in Atlanta, you will have to get a hotel no matter what, but as for transportation down in Atlanta, there is a very good public service called MARTA similar to the subway system of NYC.
It goes right from the airport to the Georgia Dome, and is really not that much of a cost to take the ride. 5-10 dollars if that? I forget the exact amount. It may even be less.
As for single rides from place to place, they are about 2 bucks I think. Like I said, very similar to the NYC subway system.
Just consider flying and don't dismiss that as an option just quite yet.
There are many teams who fly out of NYC to Atlanta and they can give you even more details.

From my knowledge, drivng/bussing (especially if you are going to split a coach) is almost always cheaper than flying (especially considering you have to coordinate transportation to and from the airport, in both Atl and NYC).
