"As some of you may know the Allman Bros are playing three nights at the Fox this
weekend in Atlanta. On Sunday, 9/26, The Derek Trucks Band will play one set at
11:45 AM down at a stage at the Georgia Dome before the Atlanta Falcons game.
My company has partnered with DaveFM and has a stage down in Lot A. Derek
Trucks' management wants to promote their New Years Eve shows in Atlanta at the
Variety Playhouse on DaveFM. So in return for DaveFm promoting the shows, they
asked that DTB do a one hour set on Sunday before the game.
Lot A is the season ticketholder parking lot, so only cars with special passes can
park in the lot - but anyone can walk in. I also understand that if you own a Ford
vehicle you can go to the Falcons website and enter your VIN number and get a free
parking pass for lot A. I have not done this yet, but do know it is a feature from the
website. That would be your best bet to be able to park near the stage.
If you don't do that, best way to get to the area on a Falcons gameday is by MARTA.
You will need to change trains if you are coming from the North / South line at Five
Points and go to the the GA Dome / Philips Arena stop. When exiting the train take
the exit that goes towards Philips Arena. Do not go up the final set of escalators to
the Philips Arena level once you exit the turnstiles in MARTA. You will exit from
behind that last set of escalators and follow the service drive to Lot A.
If you are driving without a pass - park where you can and walk in on Park Ave West
which is the road at the corner of Marrietta Street and the Embassy Suites. There
will be signs for Lot A from Marrietta. There is a stage right outside the Dome which
is the wrong stage. We are in a parking lot one level down from Dome level.
The stage gets started around 9:45 AM so bring your bloody mary mix and other
assorted beverages to bite the dog back and get your day started with some free
music. Sundogs from Atlanta will play the first set and there will be plenty of good
music coming from the stage while the bands are on break. Should be a good
Sunday morning if the weather is anything like it has been this past week. Out."
