Re: Never been to championship before got questions

If you're near MARTA's Peachtree station, there's a food court in there. Marriott Marquis has a direct bridge, if you can find it.

Typical food when I went: Breakfast: at the hotel, CNN Center, or the above-mentioned food court, depending where we stayed (airport-type hotels have breakfast; downtown-type ones typically don't). Lunch: grab something from one of the stands. Dinner: CNN Center.

Transit: if you're near the airport, take the hotel's airport shuttle and take MARTA from the airport. If you're downtown, just walk. Unless, of course, you're carrying a lot of stuff in heavy boxes--then you try taking MARTA.

Oh, and never trust the FRC schedule. It's an hour or more "optimistic" as to when the elims/awards end.
