You guys are lucky that you're flying to ATL. But I'm sure 47 will have fun on our bus ride, It'll give us a chance to bond and get to know each other better.

How many of you are gonna be on spring break during the championship?

I'm a college student, and I'm on "spring" break right now. My team's high school, however, has spring break the week of the Championship.

Re: Fun Stuff To Do In The Atl!!!

MARTA is definately worth it if you are staying downtown.

Lemme explain, inner city Atlanta is pretty devoid of fun kiddy activities. So you're gonna need some form of transportation to get around. Nothing is gonna be within walking distance (probably) from your hotel. Atlanta is a very big city, that has sprawled considerably, the best entertainment is gonna be in the suburbs, example: clubbin=buckhead (a suburb about 5 mins from the Georgia Dome)

If you can plan your activities around the MARTA stops and stations, that is definately worth it. That pass is really inexpensive compared to what it usually is.

True, MARTA is not great public transportation but it is better then sitting in your hotel room playing cards...

This is especially good if you're flying into Hartsfield (the busiest ariport in the US) because you can take MARTA directly to your hotel. Otherwise it would be a $50 cab ride that could take up to 30-45 mins depending on our traffic. The MARTA pass is cheaper then buying a rail pass just to ride from the ariport to downtown.

Yes, we have both hardrock and planet hollywood. Atlanta is a BIG city, bigger then Houston, maybe the biggest city the Nationals have ever been held in before. Have Fun!!

Good luck yall!
-Andy
