On Thursday afternoon, Cobb County government issued some more details and suggestions for those planning on attending the parade and/or Truist Park events:
-
Fans who receive tickets to the celebration inside Truist Park should get parking at the time they secure their tickets and proceed directly to the stadium. Braves parking lots will open at 9 a.m. and require a purchased ticket.
-
Anyone coming to watch the parade procession should plan on heavy traffic and avoid Cobb Parkway. People are advised to carpool, use a ride service, and use a traffic app like Waze to get into the area.
-
Road closures along and near the parade route could start as early as 10 a.m.
-
Most of the parking along the parade route is privately owned, so fans should make sure they find a lot that is available for celebration parking.
-
Anyone who watches the procession south of I-285 and wants to walk toward Battery Atlanta should NOT attempt to cross under the interstate along Cobb Parkway. They should instead use the pedestrian bridge accessible from the Galleria parking lot.
