Better yet, assuming that you can get by without a van: Stay near the airport in a hotel that has an airport shuttle. Hop on the shuttle, then hop on MARTA at the airport. When you're done at the venue for the day, reverse your steps.

It's less convenient, but it does get the job done. MARTA passes are pretty cheap, too--IIRC, it's about $15/person for a week-long pass, or something like that. Then you save because you're away from downtown (airport hotels tend to be cheaper), airport hotels tend to have a continental breakfast of some form, and you don't have to deal with gas costs to get to and from the venue every day. If you need to go somewhere that isn't in walking/MARTA range, you find one of the local teams and ask them if they can help you--if they can't, then they'll know who can.
