Atlanta Auburn Club's Georgia Game Bus Trip
Ride with the AAC & Let's "Burn the Bulldogs!" Some seats still available
The Atlanta Auburn Club has a bus headed to Auburn for the home game versus Georgia.
Fare is $35/per person. And, yes, we do have some people riding who don't have tickets! We still have seats available and want to get the biggest group possible over to Auburn for the game.
Kickoff for Saturday's game 3:30pET (CBS).
Departure will be at 9a ET from the Sandy Springs MARTA station, which has free parking for the first 24-hours. We will have the bus located in the parking lot of Perimeter Pointe shopping center on the back side of the MARTA parking deck. Everyone who is riding with us can offload at the bus and then enter the parking deck right there at the shopping center.
Here is a link to the Sandy Springs station on the web:
http://www.itsmarta.com/ns-san-overview.aspx
Large coolers, chairs, etc are welcome but must be stowed in the luggage compartments for the ride to Auburn. A small personal-sized cooler can be brought on the bus.
In Auburn:
When we get to Auburn, we will be parking in the hayfields on South Donahue near Woodfield Drive. This is next to one of the big RV parking lots, so there will be a lot of tailgating in the area. There should be room near the bus for people to set up their own tailgating stuff if they want to. It is about a 15 minute walk to the stadium from this area. There is also a Tiger Transit shuttle that picks up at the corner of South Donahue and Woodfield and drops off at the southeast corner of the old basketball coliseum. http://www.auburn.edu/communications_marketing/gameday/map.html
If you want to ride with us, please email club president Kathleen Saal ASAP at: communications@atlantaauburnclub.org
