Things to do in Atlanta, Georgia (GA): The Best Arenas & Stadiums
Atlanta has been dubbed everything from the "capital of the new South" and "the next international city" to "the best place to do business." It's also a great place to visit. Fueled by the prosperity of local mega companies like Coca Cola and Holiday Inn, the prestige of hosting the 1996 Summer Olympic Games and the energy of young upwardly mobile types who have migrated to the city in droves - Atlanta is on fire. And this time it's a good thing. From world-class restaurants and a myriad of cultural attractions to a hip nightlife and sporting events galore, the city is cosmopolitan in every sense of the word. But Atlanta has also managed to maintain its historic character. Stop by the Atlanta History Center or visit the Martin Luther King Jr. Historical Site, a moving tribute to an American icon. Browse through the former home of famous author Margaret Mitchell or pop into the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum for details on the life and times of the former president and his family. Whether you choose modern urban endeavors or old southern pleasures, Atlanta will not disappoint.

The sightlines for basketball are terrific and the renevations they did here are top notch. I was really happy with the concession prices since going to sporting events back in Chicago, concessions can get a little pricy. It was east to get in and out of the arena, and parking was only 11 bucks, can't beat that for an NBA game!

Love Russ Chandler Stadium, or the "Rusty C" as it's affectionately called. Beautiful field, perfect size and gorgeous view of the ever changing Atlanta skyline. Chairback seats behind home plate are only $10. Parking is available in a deck just across the street for $5. Great venue for baseball, especially to cheer on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets!

My husband and I had the chance to attend our second Atlanta United match in October and the 2nd visit was as amazing as our first. The stadium is so nice. We love the merchandise shops, so much to choose from and the food, well, there is a ton and something for everyone. Atlanta United did not win in the match we saw, but they still gave it their all and they are the best no matter if they win or lose. We cannot wait for our next match.

Every seat is close to the action. Fantastic skyline views of Atlanta especially at night. More concessions would make it perfect.
