If you're organizing sports team or fan transportation in Rome, you'll love how Rome
AdventHealth Stadium (Home of the Rome Emperors)
Let your fan club or youth baseball roster ride together to AdventHealth Stadium at 755 Braves Blvd NE, Rome, GA 30161 to cheer on the High-A Rome Emperors without splitting into a caravan of cars! Instead of circling the ballpark lots or coordinating parent carpools, you can compare 25-passenger minibuses and 56-passenger charter buses with undercarriage storage for coolers and team gear right online. Fill out one quick form to view live availability and photos in under 30 seconds!
Major Roadways to AdventHealth Stadium
Your driver will typically approach the ballpark using Turner McCall Boulevard (US-27 / GA-20) or Veterans Memorial Highway, which leads directly to the main turnoff at Braves Boulevard NE just north of the Oostanaula River. Groups traveling in from nearby cities across Georgia can connect from I-75 via GA-20 West or US-411 South for a smooth ride into Rome.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at AdventHealth Stadium
Charter buses and minibuses can pull directly down Braves Boulevard NE to drop passengers off near the main front gate plaza on the west side of the stadium. Have your whole group gathered with tickets in hand before stepping off so your driver doesn't hold up the incoming game-day traffic lane. After the final out, meet your driver back at the designated bus loading area outside the main entrance so everyone boards together.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at AdventHealth Stadium
Unlike cramped downtown arenas, AdventHealth Stadium is surrounded by expansive surface parking lots right off Braves Boulevard NE that easily accommodate full-size motorcoaches and party buses. Your driver can stage and park right on site in the designated oversized vehicle rows at the outer perimeter of the main paved lot during the game. Keep in mind that stadium parking fees are separate from your bus quote, so check with the Emperors ticket office in advance if you're bringing multiple buses. Because your bus stays right on the property, your group can even tailgate together before heading through the gates!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
While Rome doesn't have the gridlock of downtown Atlanta, Veterans Memorial Highway (US-27) and the turn lanes onto Braves Boulevard NE back up quickly during the 45 minutes leading up to first pitch. Traffic is especially heavy on Friday night fireworks games, school education days, and summer concerts when large numbers of fans funnel through a single main entrance road. Plan to arrive at least 60 minutes before game time so your bus can unload and park before the main lot bottlenecks. When the game ends, local police often direct outbound traffic along Braves Boulevard NE onto US-27, so give your group 10 to 15 minutes to gather at the bus before pulling out.
Truist Park (Home of the Atlanta Braves)
Waiting in bumper-to-bumper Cobb County traffic is no way to start a Braves game when your group is traveling down from Rome! Book a long-distance charter bus or minibus to Truist Park so everyone can relax in climate-controlled comfort on the one-hour ride from Floyd County. Your whole group arrives at The Battery Atlanta together and skips the endless post-game rideshare lines!
Major Roadways to Truist Park
Traveling from Rome, your charter bus will take US-411 South to US-41 South or hop onto I-75 South straight down to the I-285 interchange in Cobb County. From there, drivers exit onto Cobb Parkway (US-41) or Windy Hill Road to access the stadium perimeter.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Truist Park
Charter buses are not permitted to drop off passengers curbside on Battery Avenue or inside the pedestrian zones of The Battery Atlanta. Instead, pre-registered buses load and unload passengers in the designated oversized vehicle area at Lot 29, located at 652 Circle 75 Parkway, Atlanta, GA 30339. From Lot 29, your group has an easy, flat walk across the pedestrian bridge straight to the ballpark gates. After the ninth inning, have everyone walk back to Lot 29 together so your bus can pull out without delay.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Truist Park
Official Truist Park bus and RV parking is located exclusively in Lot 29 off Circle 75 Parkway, and passes must be purchased in advance through the Braves ticket office before game day. If Lot 29 is sold out for a marquee weekend series, your driver will need to drop the group off and stage off-site along the Cobb Parkway corridor until pickup.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Several streets framing The Battery Atlanta—including portions of Battery Avenue SE, Heritage Court, and lanes along Circle 75 Parkway—close to unauthorized vehicles several hours before first pitch. Because I-75 South and the I-285 junction see heavy weekday commuter congestion on top of ballpark traffic, groups departing from Rome for a 7:20 p.m. weeknight game should leave by 4:15 p.m. Building in an extra 45-minute buffer gives your group plenty of time to grab dinner at The Battery before taking your seats.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Home of the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United FC)
A 70-mile drive down to downtown Atlanta for a Falcons game, an Atlanta United FC match, or the SEC Championship is so much easier when nobody in your Rome group has to battle downtown interstates! When you use Rome
Major Roadways to Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Most groups traveling from Rome take GA-20 East to I-75 South straight into the Downtown Connector (I-75/I-85), or take US-27 South to I-20 East before exiting onto Northside Drive NW (US-41). Once downtown, Northside Drive NW, Ivan Allen Jr. Boulevard NW, and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive SW serve as the main access corridors for motorcoaches.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Mercedes-Benz Stadium
On game days, your charter bus can drop passengers off along GWCC Bus Lane C on Northside Drive NW, located right outside the Georgia World Congress Center and just steps from Gate 1. Buses can also utilize the designated drop-off area off Ivan Allen Jr. Boulevard NW ("Zone 1") near Centennial Olympic Park Drive depending on event traffic flow. Because downtown Atlanta strictly prohibits curbside waiting and limits commercial idling, your group must unload promptly and head toward the gates. After the final whistle, coordinate a meeting spot at the Gate 1 plaza so everyone walks back to the Northside Drive loading lane together.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Mercedes-Benz Stadium
While you cheer inside the stadium, your charter bus parks at the GWCC Marshalling Yard or in the designated oversized vehicle spaces in the Red Deck / Lot H area when reserved in advance. Bus parking passes at Mercedes-Benz Stadium must be pre-purchased prior to event day, as drive-up oversized parking is rarely available during NFL games or major concerts. Your driver will wait in the marshalling yard or oversized lot until you text that your entire group is assembled and ready for pickup. Having a dedicated bus waiting nearby means your Rome group completely avoids the crowded MARTA stations and surge-priced rideshare zones!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Downtown streets including AMB Drive NW, Mitchell Street, and sections of Mangum Street close to standard traffic hours before kickoff, and police actively direct traffic along Northside Drive NW after the event. Plan to arrive in downtown Atlanta at least two hours before kickoff so your group can clear the clear-bag security checkpoints and check out the Fan Plaza without rushing.
State Farm Arena (Home of the Atlanta Hawks)
Cross traffic and parking garages off your worry list when you book a bus from Rome to State Farm Arena at 1 State Farm Drive, Atlanta, GA 30303! Whether you're organizing a school basketball team outing to see the Atlanta Hawks or booking a concert party bus rental with LED lighting and Bluetooth sound, our network has the right ride for your headcount. Compare vehicles and online rates in under 30 seconds with one quick form! You'll get your free quote sent straight to your text and email so it's easy to share with your group.
Major Roadways to State Farm Arena
Coming down from Rome, your driver will take I-75 South into downtown Atlanta and exit at Williams Street NW or Ivan Allen Jr. Boulevard to reach the arena district. Alternatively, drivers can take I-285 West to I-20 East and exit onto Spring Street or Centennial Olympic Park Drive NW. Local access around the venue runs primarily along Marietta Street NW and Centennial Olympic Park Drive.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at State Farm Arena
Because State Farm Drive is closed to vehicular traffic and serves as a pedestrian plaza, charter buses cannot pull up to the front doors on that side. Instead, your driver will drop your group off along Centennial Olympic Park Drive NW near the main entrance at Gate 1 / Gate 2, or along Marietta Street NW near the CNN Center side. Unload quickly at the curb so your driver can move out of the active downtown travel lanes. When the concert or Hawks game wraps up, gather your whole party outside Gate 2 before texting your driver to pull up to the curb.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at State Farm Arena
Since the attached arena parking decks (such as the Sapphire and Ruby Decks) have low vertical clearances that cannot fit motorcoaches, charter buses stage and park at the GWCC Marshalling Yard or designated surface lots around Centennial Yards. We recommend reserving oversized bus parking online through the State Farm Arena parking portal well ahead of your event date.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
When a Hawks game or major tour at State Farm Arena overlaps with an event next door at Mercedes-Benz Stadium or the Georgia World Congress Center, traffic along Centennial Olympic Park Drive and Marietta Street comes to a crawl. Pad your departure time from Rome by at least 60 minutes on weeknights so rush-hour traffic on I-75 South doesn't cause you to miss tip-off or the opening act.
Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field (Home of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets)
For college football Saturdays in Midtown Atlanta, a private bus rental from Rome to Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field keeps alumni chapters, student groups, and visiting teams together! Because campus streets around Georgia Tech are narrow and permit-restricted on game days, riding in one 35-passenger minibus or 56-passenger charter bus beats hunting for five separate garage spots. Enter your trip details in our 30-second quote tool to compare options with no account needed!
Major Roadways to Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field
Your bus will travel south from Rome along I-75 South into the I-75/I-85 Downtown Connector, which runs directly along the eastern edge of the Georgia Tech campus. Drivers typically take the North Avenue NW, 10th Street NW, or 14th Street NW exits to reach the stadium perimeter. Techwood Drive NW and Spring Street NW serve as the primary north-south surface streets bordering the venue.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field
On Yellow Jackets game days, charter buses typically drop off passengers along North Avenue NW near the south end of the stadium or along Tech Parkway NW on the west side of campus, avoiding the closed pedestrian blocks around Techwood Drive. Coordinate with your driver to confirm whether Gate 1 (North Avenue) or the Callaway Plaza area on the north end is your post-game meeting spot. Make sure everyone in your group is present before calling your bus back to the pickup curb.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field
Campus parking decks around Georgia Tech have height restrictions and require season permits on football Saturdays, so charter buses cannot park in standard student garages. Visiting team buses and pre-registered fan charter buses are directed to designated oversized surface areas on the west side of campus near Northside Drive or off-site commercial lots like the GWCC Marshalling Yard just a few minutes south. Be sure to contact Georgia Tech Parking and Transportation Services prior to your trip to secure a game-day charter bus parking pass. Once parked, your driver will stay on standby until the fourth quarter ends and your group is ready to head back to Rome.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Starting several hours before kickoff, Georgia Tech Police close Bobby Dodd Way NW (between Techwood Drive and Fowler Street) and sections of Techwood Drive NW (between North Avenue and Ferst Drive) for Wreckfest tailgating and Yellow Jacket Alley. Traffic exiting the I-75/I-85 Connector at North Avenue and 10th Street backs up onto the highway ramp within two hours of game time. Plan to arrive on campus at least two to three hours before kickoff so your bus can navigate around the closures and drop your group off stress-free.
