Atlanta airport to a Braves game at Truist Park: every way there

Truist Park is 10 miles northwest of downtown, in Cobb County. Compare rideshare, taxi, shared shuttle, rental car and MARTA plus a bus from ATL.

The team’s own page puts Truist Park 10 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta, in the Cumberland neighborhood of Cobb County, at 755 Battery Avenue Southeast. None of the airport’s ground transportation pages names it as a destination.

Rideshare starts in the North Economy lot

Uber and Lyft pick up in the North Economy lot. Walk through North baggage claim to the escalators between doors N2 and N3, go down, follow the orange signs and request your ride only once you’re at the pickup spot. The airport says to expect about a five-minute walk. Its ground transportation page says “between doors LN1,” and its rideshare page says N2 and N3.

Neither app’s airport page quotes a fare to Truist Park, so the price comes from the app when you request. At the other end, The Battery Atlanta’s directions page says one rideshare zone serves both Truist Park and The Battery. If you landed at the International Terminal instead, ATL’s ground transportation page sends you out door A1 or A2 on the arrival level and across the crosswalk to the outer curb. Further down, the same page lists the rideshare pickup as the inner curb, out doors A1, A2 or A3. Our Uber and Lyft pickup guide covers the pickup there.

A taxi or shuttle works, but neither prices a Cobb County trip

Domestic Terminal taxis load in Aisle A of the Ground Transportation Center. The ground transportation page puts them at stalls A3 to A10, while the airport’s terminal map lists A3 to A12 for taxis and A1 and A2 for pre-arranged pickup. The airport prints flat taxi fares for three zones only.

Zone Taxi flat fare, one person Shared-ride shuttle, maximum per person
Downtown $37.50 $16.50
Midtown $39.50 $18.50
Buckhead $49.50 $30

For a Cobb County trip, the page lists metered fares: $3.50 for the first 1/8 mile, $0.30 for each additional 1/8 mile and a $1.50 vehicle trip fee. Ask for a price before you get in. Our taxi guide shows the stand at the Domestic Terminal and the International Terminal.

Local shared-ride shuttles serve Cobb County, and the airport says they run about 15 minutes apart. The airport doesn’t say which company stops at Truist Park, so you’ll need to call a company to reserve and ask. The two airport pages also disagree on where to board. The ground transportation page says Aisle B, stalls B3 to B8. The local shuttles page says most pick up on the Green Bus Aisle, between the Domestic North and South Terminals.

MARTA gets you partway and a bus does the rest

MARTA is the slow route, since the train covers only part of the trip. The Battery’s page says Truist Park and The Battery are reached by CobbLinc, MARTA and the Cumberland Circulator. MARTA Route 12 connects to the Cumberland Transfer Center, where riders change to CobbLinc or the Circulator. CobbLinc’s Circulator shuttles are free and run in Blue and Green. The bus stops sit on Circle 75 Parkway and Windy Ridge Parkway.

The Battery’s page doesn’t say how a rider gets from Airport Station to Route 12. Rome2Rio’s planner fills the gap with a train to Midtown Station and a Route 12 bus from its Bay B. It lists the whole trip at 1h 37m and $6, and the car trip at 21.3 mi and 26 min. Those are that company’s figures, not MARTA’s. Our MARTA rail page covers the train half, including the $2.50 standard fare and Airport Station’s spot between the north and south baggage claims.

Rent a car, then park at The Battery

The Rental Car Center runs 24 hours a day, and the SkyTrain takes you there from the Domestic Terminal. From the International Terminal, a shuttle also runs from the arrivals level straight to the center about every 15 minutes. Our rental car guide walks through both.

On game days the Battery’s directions page lists the Red, Green, Yellow and Purple decks at these rates.

Time in the deck Game-day rate
0 to 2 hours $0.00
2 to 3 hours $25.00
3 to 4 hours $40.00
4 to 24 hours $60.00

Discover Atlanta’s game-day guide names only the Red, Yellow and Purple decks for the free two hours, and says the rates run from four hours before the game to 2½ hours after first pitch. The Battery says the Braves-controlled lots open at different times, and it strongly recommends buying parking ahead because spaces are limited.

Truist Park takes cards only

Discover Atlanta lists Truist Park as a cashless venue where only cards are accepted. Cash-to-card machines sit behind Sections 118 and 133, so skip the detour to an airport ATM.
