🚀 MATCHDAY UBER/LYFT SURVIVAL HACK (DESTINATION)

How to beat the Surge Pricing at Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta):

Rideshare app signals will drop heavily inside the stadium gates due to crowd density. Walk 3 blocks east toward the Five Points MARTA station area or local downtown hotels before opening your app. You will bypass the gridlock on Northside Dr entirely.

Official Gate Drop-off Area: Designated rideshare zones are located at Northside Dr and Centennial Olympic Park Dr.
