Spicing Up Your ATL Trip

[ZackCraig]

Just to get some ideas. What are other teams doing in Atlanta to have extra fun besides the comp and social event?

[DCA Fan]

Honestly there's very little time for anything else, but the World of Coca Cola and Underground Atlanta are nearby, those would be the closest short term attractions.

World of Coke will be closed during Championship's due to a move to a new building next to the Georgia Aquarium which is next to Centennial Olympic Park. The aquarium as you may know is the worlds largest and is a great place to visit if you have time. The park is where the wrap party is held on Saturday night.

There could also be NHL playoff hockey at Philips arena right next to the GA Dome during Championship's. The Atlanta Thrashers will be in the playoffs but the schedule has yet to be determined. Dave

There also might be a braves game going on at home.

The game won't be on Friday because the hawks and wizards play there on Friday

Good call. Forgot about our easily forgettable basketball team. This of course would be another alternative for people as there should be a lot of tickets available.

Maybe Thrashers game on Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday nights then. Dave

LOL, i bet there are going to be more wizard fans there than hawks fans, lol.

and the sad part up there is the tickets are more expensive than down here in Orlando.

We may go to the aquarium and CNN again

My mom's been talking about snatching up us college mentors and renting a car and having a night out on the town...

I'm not into NHL much. But I'm up for whatever

OK, the hockey playoff games schedule are now set by the NHL. Atlanta is playing the NY Rangers beginning Thursday at 7PM at Philips Arena. For those that are not aware, Philips is very close to the GA Dome and next to CNN Center. There are still good tickets for game #1 on Thursday available through Ticketmaster.

I just (1:40AM Monday) found 6 tickets together on the upstairs side for $46.50 each including fees. These are the least expensive tickets available. There are some tickets still available downstairs but they are over $125.

Game #2 is not at a good time for First folks for several reasons. The game is at 3PM on Saturday which means the crowd will be leaving Philips between 5:30-6:00PM about the same time we all go to Centennial Olympic Park for the Wrap party!

Also, remember there is semi-pro basketball (Atlanta Hawks) on Friday night at Philips and Braves games Wed, Thurs, Fri & Sat nights and Sunday afternoon.
