Hi everyone! I'm planning to attend my first-ever GreenJackets game on the 4th of July, and I'm really excited. I had a question about parking though.

I tried to pre-book parking when I bought my tickets, but the website kept saying it was unavailable. What's the parking situation usually like? Is there parking close to the stadium, or are there nearby lots where we could park and walk over? I'll be with my parents, so I'm hoping to keep the walk fairly short.

Also, how early would you recommend arriving for a 6:30 PM game, especially since it's on the 4th of July? I imagine it might be busier than usual.

Also, if anyone has any tips for a first-time visitor or anything specific to know about attending on Independence Day, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

I’m a new driver, making my first drive from Augusta to Atlanta this Saturday and need some advice.

Are there any good (and safe) rest stops on the way where I can just take a break or get gas?

What would be the best time to leave Augusta (in the morning) to hopefully beat some Atlanta traffic?

Edit: thank you for all the suggestions! I ended up going to the greensboro exit 130. It was nice and easy to navigate :) I made it to Atlanta without issues (drove the exact speed limit in the right lane LMAO)
