Atlanta ponoči

Atlanta je predhodnica Novega juga s šarmom in eleganco Starega. To je mesto, ki uravnoteži južne tradicije z elegantnim modernizmom, južno gostoljubje pa s tremi linijami in najprometnejšim letališčem na svetu. To je mesto, ki je bilo požgano do tal in pozidano; videl vojne grozote; čutil bolečino zaradi suše in poplav; in mu rodil Martina Lutherja Kingja mlajšega, največjo osebnost gibanja za državljanske pravice. Atlanta je glavno mesto zvezne države Georgia in po mnenju mnogih prestolnica celotne Južne ZDA.

Okrožja

V Atlanti obstajajo tri ločene črte: Downtown, Midtown, in Buckhead. Velikost katerega koli od teh okrožij bi lahko konkurirala središču katerega koli drugega mesta na jugu. Vendar Atlanta ni sestavljena samo iz nebotičnikov in drugih stolpnic; vsaka mestna mestna soseska ponuja edinstveno ozračje, ki je dobro prilagojeno bivanju v senci mesta.

Okrožja Atlanta
 Downtown
Najbolj osrednje in trgovsko območje v Gruziji (ekonomsko in politično) v središču Atlante vključuje glavno mesto države, mestno hišo, CNN Center, akvarij Georgia in Svet Coca-Cole.
 Midtown
Severno od centra mesta je to glavno poslovno in stanovanjsko okrožje z visokimi nebotičniki in priljubljenim območjem nočnega življenja. To okrožje vključuje tudi park Piedmont, umetniški center Woodruff, atlantsko postajo in kampus Georgia Georgia.
 Buckhead
Nekaj ​​kilometrov severno od Midtowna je Buckhead priljubljeno okrožje za poslovno in nočno življenje in je dom zgodovinskega centra Atlanta.
 Vzhodna Atlanta
Vzhodna Atlanta vključuje številne priljubljene soseske z lepimi domovi, visoko ocenjenimi restavracijami in uspešnimi nakupovalnimi četrtmi. Soseske vključujejo Little Five Points v alternativnem slogu, trendovsko regijo Virginia-Highland (skupaj s sosednjo Poncey-Highland) in vse večjo skupnost vasi East Atlanta Village.
 Južna Atlanta
Dom najbolj prometnega letališča na svetu, Mednarodno letališče Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta. Južna Atlanta vsebuje tudi soseske Mechanicsville, Peoplestown in Lakewood.
 Zahodna Atlanta
To okrožje vključuje soseske Vine City, Bankhead, Historic West End, Collier Heights in Upper Westside.
 Decatur
Mesto Decatur je le nekaj milj od centra Atlante, vendar je ohranilo svoj stanovanjski čar mesta. Decatur, eno najbolj pešcev prijaznih predelov v Atlanti, je dom številnih odličnih restavracij, barov in butikov.

Razumeti

Atlanta, ki leži na planoti Piedmont v severni Gruziji, je skoraj v celoti v okrožju Fulton, medtem ko del mestnih meja sega v Okrožje DeKalb. Mesto pokriva 343 km², vendar Metro Atlanta, ki vključuje 28 okrožij, ima površino 8.376 kvadratnih milj (21.693,7 km²). The Reka Chattahoochee, ki tvori severozahodno mejo Atlante, je glavni vir vode na celotnem območju podzemne železnice. Poleg reke je topografija Atlante raznolika z griči, gozdovi, jezeri in ribniki ter granitom. Kamnita gora na vzhodu.

Po popisu prebivalstva leta 2010 je imela Atlanta 420.000 prebivalcev znotraj mestnih meja in 5,3 milijona prebivalcev na območju podzemne železnice. V njem živi približno 486.000 ljudi (2017).

Atlanta je na visokogorju Piemont, na približno 220–330 m nadmorske višine. Mesto je tako nekoliko hladnejše kot drugi kraji na jugu ZDA, kar je zagotovo pripomoglo k rasti mesta pred uvedbo klimatskih naprav.

Atlanta doživlja zelo širok razpon temperatur. Pozimi so temperature v splošnem blage do tople, vendar hladne fronte lahko v najstnice občasno nanesejo rahle nanose snega in nizke temperature. Vendar pa so dnevi običajno v 50 ° F (10 ° C) in noči v najnižjih do srednjih 30s F (0 ° C). Ledene nevihte so zelo redke, vendar niso nezaslišane. Poletja so vroča in vlažna, temperature pogosto dosežejo nad 32 ° C, zato si mesto prisluži vzdevek "Hotlanta" (ime, zaradi katerega se domačini zdrznejo in ga bodo verjetno srečali s ponovitvijo "Nihče ga ne kliče" da "). Količin padavin je pozno pozimi in zgodaj spomladi veliko, poleti pa so popoldne pogoste nevihte. Pomlad in jesen sta najboljši čas za obisk. Regija je pogosto prizadeta med sezono orkanov (od junija do novembra) zaradi ostankov, ki se izlivajo iz zaliva in prinašajo močne padavine in včasih močan veter.

Zgodovina

Atlanta se je začela oblikovati leta 1837, ko je zahodna in atlantska železnica mesto izbrala za južni konec svojih tirov. Mesto se je imenovalo Terminus do leta 1843, ko se je preimenovalo v Marthasville po hčerki guvernerja Wilsona Lumpkina. Leta 1847 se je mesto preimenovalo v Atlanto, domnevno žensko obliko "Atlantika", ki jo je verjetno ustvaril inženir Western & Atlantic. Mesto je bilo ustanovljeno leta 1847.

Do izbruha Ameriška državljanska vojna leta 1861 je bila Atlanta major železniško vozlišče, proizvodni center in skladišče. Toda leta 1864 je vojska generala Williama T. Shermana zaradi hromnega prevoza med jugom in severom pogorel do tal vsi železniški objekti, skoraj vsako podjetje in več kot dve tretjini mestnih domov med njegovim zloglasnim "Pohodom na morje". Atlanta je ležala v ruševinah, edino večje ameriško mesto, ki ga je kdaj uničila vojna.

Kmalu zatem se je začel prvi vzpon v Atlanti. V štirih letih po Shermanovem napadu so glavno mesto Georgia preselili iz Milledgevillea v Atlanto in začeli so privabljati nove posle. Vmes so se začele odpirati fakultete in univerze, uvedli so telefone in vozički so se začeli valjati. Leta 1895 so države bombaža in mednarodna razstava v parku Piedmont 800.000 obiskovalcem in prebivalcem pokazale, da je Atlanta krenila v novo smer in se je okrepila za 20. stoletje.

Konec dvajsetih let 20. stoletja se je oblikoval poslovni sektor v središču mesta, ki je Atlanti dal veliko posebnega vzorca, ki ga ohranja danes. Hkrati je Atlanta Alderman (in kasneje župan) William B. Hartsfield dolgo in trdo vodil kampanjo, da je mesto prepričal, da je prosto dirkališče spremenilo v letališče. Danes je mednarodno letališče Hartsfield – Jackson najprometnejše letališče na svetu, z več kot 100 milijoni potnikov letno.

Medtem ko je mesto nadaljevalo svoj gospodarski vzpon, je postalo znano tudi kot "Mesto, ki je preveč zavzeto za sovraštvo." Atlanta in Georgia sta pretežni del sporov, povezanih s petdesetimi in šestdesetimi leti prejšnjega stoletja, premagala tako, da sta na jugovzhodu prevzela vodilno vlogo pri krepitvi pravic manjšin. Najmočnejša identifikacija mesta z gibanjem je bila po domačem sinu, Martin Luther King, ml.

V zadnjih 25 letih je bilo veliko storjenega za dvig Atlante v status svetovnega razreda. Vzpostavljen je bil učinkovit (vsaj po standardih južne ZDA) sistem javnega prevoza MARTA; Podzemna Atlanta je bila dodana na zabavni zemljevid; Svetovni kongresni center Georgia je mesto naredil kongresno središče; Georgia Dome je bila zgrajena leta 1992; in Philips Arena je bila zgrajena leta 1999. Kupolo so leta 2017 podrli, ko se je odprl njen nadomestni stadion Mercedes-Benz.

Od 20. julija do 4. avgusta 1996 so bile vse oči uprte v Atlanto, ko je gostila Stoletne olimpijske igre. Mesto je uspešno gostilo največje olimpijske igre doslej in se po svetovni oddaji predstavilo 2 milijonom ljudi in 3,5 milijarde ljudi.

Olimpijske igre so služile kot katalizator za drugo oživitev Atlante, saj je doživela dramatično preobrazbo iz velikega ameriškega mesta v večje mednarodno mesto z več kot 6 milijardami dolarjev za razvoj in spremembe.

Atlanta je postala glavna destinacija za kongrese in kongrese, predvsem zaradi ogromnega letališča in ugodnega vremena. Večina kongresnih prizorišč je blizu postaje Peachtree Center MARTA v središču mesta, in ko je v mestu velika razstava, se včasih zdi, kot da vsaka druga oseba v mestu nosi imensko tablico.

Pazi

Južna kultura Atlante, globoka zgodovina in živahno mesto so bili kulisa številnih klasičnih filmov.

  • Oditi z vetrom (Victor Fleming, 1939). Potopljen v konfederacijsko politiko, boj za preživetje in neizogibne ljubezenske spletke, ima ta film redko razliko, da je tako dober, kot če ne boljše od klasične južne knjige, na kateri temelji.
  • Voziti gospodično Daisy (Bruce Beresford, 1989). Ta film taktno raziskuje rasna vprašanja iz obdobja državljanskih pravic skozi nianse odnosa med premožno belo žensko in njenim črnim šoferjem.
  • ATL (Chris Robinson, 2006). Drama polnoletnosti, postavljena v hip-hop kulturo sodobnega mesta.

Atlanta je tudi ozadje priljubljenih televizijskih oddaj The Walking Dead in Atlanta.

Atlanta (in preostali del Gruzije) sta zaradi državnih davčnih spodbud hitro postala priljubljena lokacija za snemanje. Znamenitosti Atlante si lahko ogledate v filmih, kot so igre lakote: Lovljenje ognja (Francis Lawrence, 2013), kjer igra dekadentno glavno mesto, in Pripravništva (Shawn Levy, 2013), kjer igra Googlov visokotehnološki modernistični sedež.

Če letite v Atlanto, se boste spustili na najbolj prometno letališče na svetu: mednarodno letališče Hartsfield – Jackson Atlanta

Z letalom

Glavni članek: Mednarodno letališče Hartsfield – Jackson Atlanta

Glavno letališče Atlante je 1 Mednarodno letališče Atlanta Hartsfield – Jackson (ATL IATA) ("Hartsfield – Jackson," "ATL" ali samo "letališče" za domačine), približno 8 km (13 km) južno od centra mesta. Hartsfield-Jackson je bil najprometnejše letališče na svetu od leta 1999 je leta 2018 služil več kot 107 milijonom potnikov. Letališče ima 192 domačih in mednarodnih vrat in pokriva 4.700 hektarjev (1.902 ha) zemljišča s petimi vzporednimi vzletno-pristajalnimi stezami. ATL je glavno vozlišče za Delta Air Lines in osredotočeno mesto za Southwest Airlines, služi pa tudi kot sedež korporacije Delta Air Lines.

Zasebno letalstvo

Atlanta ima tretjo največjo koncentracijo podjetij Fortune 500 v ZDA in je eno največjih medijskih središč v državi. Zaradi visoke ravni medijske in izvršne dejavnosti, skupaj z zastoji v Hartsfield-Jacksonu, obstaja več letališč, ki se osredotočajo na poslovno in rekreacijsko letalstvo.

2 Letališče Dekalb-Peachtree (PDK IATA) se nahaja v območju "Obod" v Chamblee, Georgia. Čeprav PDK ponuja storitev prevoza do Cincinnati, Memphis, in Destin, služi predvsem kot glavno letališče Atlante s 4 vzletno-pristajalnimi stezami in 3 zasebnimi terminali. Zunaj oboda je še 5 letališč z zasebnimi terminali FBO: Letališče okrožja Fulton (FTY IATA); Letališče okrožja Cherokee (Pokrov FAA: CNI); Regionalno letališče Falcon Field-Atlanta (Pokrov FAA: FFC); Mednarodno letališče okrožja Field-Cobb (Pokrov FAA: RYY); in Letališče okrožja Gwinnett (LZU IATA). Letalske družbe, vključno s Priority Jet in Listina Gruzije Jet ponujajo dostop do različnih letal na letališčih podzemne železnice v Atlanti, od letal do varčnih enomotornih in dvomotornih letal, do sodobnih poslovnih letal in luksuznih Gulfstreams.

Brezplačne prometne informacije v realnem času so na voljo tako, da pokličete 511 kjer koli v državi Georgia.

Obiti

Čeprav se večina domačinov pri vsakodnevnem prevozu zanaša na svoje avtomobile, so sprehajalci in javni prevoz zelo primerni za obiskovalce. Glavne soseske v središču mesta so precej dostopne in številne znamenitosti so lahko dostopne iz javnega prevoza.

Če boste vseeno imeli avto, je vožnja pogosto najhitrejši način za prevoz. Odpira tudi destinacije, do katerih je težko ali nemogoče dostopati z javnim prevozom. Vendar je imeti avtomobil v središču mesta pogosto ovira, kjer je parkiranje malo, dolga prometna konica pa je razočaranje.

Imena ulic v Atlanti zelo zmedeni. Obstaja več kot 70 ulic, ki imajo v svojem imenu "Peachtree", in jih je pogosto težko ločiti (Peachtree Street, Peachtree Lane, West Peachtree Street itd.) Ko nekdo reče "Peachtree" brez pojasnitve, misli Peachtree Street, glavna prometnica sever-jug skozi središče mesta, Midtown in Buckhead. Ne mešajte z Zahodna ulica Peachtree, ki stoji vzporedno z ulico Peachtree, blok stran in je glavna cesta skozi Midtown. Poleg tega številne prometnice pogosto spreminjajo imena ulic, običajno na križiščih in ovinkih.

Izgovarja se avenija Ponce de Leon, pogosto skrajšana na Ponce PAHNS duh LEE-ahn, ne pa španščina POHN-recimo dan položite-OHN.

Peš

Obiskovalci bodo našli današnjo Atlanto zelo sprehodljivo, v zadnjem desetletju pa so izvedli številne izboljšave. Večina mestnih sosesk se lahko enostavno sprehodi z gostimi zbirkami barov, restavracij in trgovin. Še posebej enostavno je potovanje po Midtownu, Downtownu, Decaturju, Buckheadu ali območjih okrog koridorja North Highland Avenue v vzhodni Atlanti (vključno z Virginia-Highland, Poncey Highland in Little Five Points); čas hoje redko presega 10–20 minut, avtobusi ali vlaki pa olajšajo daljša potovanja. Kako med tiste soseske zgolj peš je težje; na primer, pričakujte 30–45 minut hoje med Midtownom in Virginio-Highlandom. Medsosedski prevoz je najbolje opraviti z avtomobilom ali javnim prevozom.

S tranzitom

Poiščite te značilne znake MARTA

Atlanta streže MARTA (Metropolitanska uprava za hitri tranzit v Atlanti), ☏ 1 404-848-4711, ki upravlja hitro železniško in avtobusno omrežje v mestu Atlanta ter okrožjih Fulton in Dekalb. Domačini samo rečejo "MARTA"; če ga označite kot "MARTA", vas boste označili za zunaj mesta.

Breeze Card

Enkratna vožnja z MARTO stane 2,50 USD (otroci 46 in manj brezplačno, do 2 na odraslo osebo); cena vključuje prevoze. MARTA za shranjevanje vozovnice uporablja brezžične kartice Breeze; nova kartica stane 2,00 USD, vendar jo je mogoče ponovno naložiti in velja 10 let. (Vetrovnih kartic ni mogoče deliti; potrebujete eno na osebo.) Vetrovne kartice se prodajajo v prodajnih avtomatih na vseh železniških postajah ali v RideStores na letališču, Lindbergh Center in Five Points Station (prodajni avtomati sprejemajo kreditne kartice, vendar lahko biti hitrejši, saj so stroji počasni in nagnjeni k lomljenju). Na avtobusu tapnite kartico na vozovnici poleg voznika. Na železniški postaji tapnite vstop in izstop na voznih vratih. Med prenosom znova tapnite kartico. (Kartica uporablja tehnologijo RFID, zato jo lahko pustite v denarnici in celotno denarnico tapnete na senzor.)

Avtobusi sprejemajo vozovnice z gotovino, vendar ne morejo izdati nakazil za vozovnice, plačane z gotovino - za prenos morate imeti kartico Breeze. Če nameravate vzpostaviti povezavo, jo pred začetkom potovanja obvezno dobite.

Na voljo so neomejene vstopnice (9 USD za en dan, 19 USD za 4 dni, 23,75 USD za 7 dni). S tem boste enostavno prihranili denar, če nameravate opraviti več kot eno ali dve potovanji na dan.

MARTA ob koncu tedna deluje počasneje; Običajne čakalne dobe so 20 minut za vlake in do ene ure za avtobuse. Za to se prepričajte.

Sistem je povsem varen ne glede na čas dneva, čeprav je bilo v zadnjem desetletju nekaj primerov nasilnih kaznivih dejanj. Kot v katerem koli drugem mestnem ali tranzitnem sistemu uporabljajte zdravo pamet, pozorni bodite na svojo okolico v času nizke vožnje in se izogibajte vlakom brez drugih kolesarjev ali samo z nekaj drugimi kolesarji.

Železnica

Železniško omrežje sestavljajo štiri proge: rdeča, zlata, modra in zelena. Rdeča in zlata črta potekata sever-jug, modra in zelena pa vzhod-zahod in tvorijo križ s postajo Five Points v središču kot edino povezovalno točko med rdečo-zlato in modro-zeleno črto.

  • Rdeča in zlata črta potekata po istih tirnicah od južnega terminala na letališču Hartsfield-Jackson skozi središče mesta in Midtown Atlanta, preden se razdelita na dve veji: rdeča proga teče do severne podzemne železnice Atlanta na postaji North Springs, zlata linija pa proti severovzhodu. in konča na postaji Doraville.
  • Modra črta poteka od zahodnega terminala pri Hamilton E. Holmes do vzhodnega terminala pri Indian Creeku. Zelena črta poteka vzhodno-zahodno skupaj z modro črto, vendar ima majhen vzpon do postaje Bankhead in gre le do vzhoda do postaje Edgewood / Candler Park.

Vlaki vozijo od 5. do 1. ure zjutraj, ob vikendih in praznikih pa od 5. do 12. ure. Vlaki vozijo na vseh progah vsakih 12 minut v največjih obdobjih in vsakih 20 minut ponoči in med vikendi. Čakanje je pogosto krajše od potovanja v središču mesta, saj vam ne bo treba čakati na kakšen določen vlak; za pot od središča mesta do središča mesta lahko na primer vzamete rdečo ali zlato črto.

Avtobus

Avtobusno omrežje obsega več kot 100 različnih avtobusnih linij, številne proge obratujejo približno vsakih 20 minut. Avtobusni prevozi na nekaterih linijah (na splošno vključno z najbolj priljubljenimi turističnimi območji) vozijo od 5. do 1.30 zjutraj, ob vikendih in praznikih pa od 5. do 1. ure.

Obstaja nekaj avtobusov, ki so še posebej koristni za vožnjo po nekaterih mestnih soseskah:

  • 110 "Breskev" - Ta avtobus vozi po ulici Peachtree Street / Road od središča mesta do Buckheada. Čeprav bo večina potovanj po tem koridorju z vlakom lažja in hitrejša, je ta avtobus še posebej koristen za doseganje cilja med postajo Arts Center in Buckhead, vključno z vasjo Buckhead, ki je od postaje Buckhead oddaljena 20 minut hoje.
  • 36 - Uporabna povezava do postaje Virginia-Highland s postaje Midtown. Poleg Virginia-Highlanda se ta avtobus nadaljuje proti severu in nato proti vzhodu, ustavi se na univerzi Emory in nato prečka številne stanovanjske soseske, preden konča na postaji Avondale vzhodno od Decaturja.
  • 16 - Odhodi s postaje Five Points v središču mesta najprej proti vzhodu, mimo Carter Centra, nato zavijemo na avenijo North Highland in se usmerimo proti severu do Virginije-Highlanda in naprej v severovzhodni del mesta. Preden zavije na North Highland Avenue, ta avtobus vozi približno vzporedno z Highland Avenue in v neposredni bližini sledi North Highland Avenue skozi njegova najbolj aktivna območja, zato je to dobra pot med cilji vzdolž tega hodnika.
  • 2 - Odhaja s postaje North Avenue proti vzhodu in vozi na dveh nekoliko različnih poteh. Večina jih sledi aveniji Ponce de Leon in se na kratko odpelje proti jugu in vzhodu po aveniji North Highland Avenue in Freedom Parkway, preden gre po aveniji Moreland (skozi Little Five Points) in nadaljuje do postaje Edgewood / Candler Park. Enkrat na uro pa bo avtobus nadaljeval po Poncah (namesto da bi zavil po Severni aveniji Highland) in sčasoma prišel do postaje Decatur. Ta pot je koristna za doseganje delov North Highland Avenue in Little Five Points (oba bosta kratka sprehoda, ne glede na to, katero pot vodi avtobus), urni obvoz pa je lahko koristen tudi za dosego delov Decaturja, ki so nadalje odstranjena s postaje MARTA.
  • 12 - Odpelje se s postaje Midtown in gre proti zahodu po 10. ulici mimo Georgia Tech. Zavije proti severu vzdolž ceste Howell Mill in nadaljuje v skrajno severozahodne predele mesta. To je lahko koristno, če pridete do zahodnega konca kampusa Georgia Tech ali pa pridete do okrožja West Midtown (blizu Howell Mill in Marietta Street in še nekaj časa nadaljujete po Howell Mill). Prenova tega okrožja se je začela v devetdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja in zdaj ima veliko restavracij, butikov, barov, kavarn in umetniških galerij.
  • 1 - Odhodi s postaje Five Points proti severozahodu, mimo Akvarija, CNN Centra in World of Coca-Cole (če ne želite 10-minutne hoje), ustavijo se pri Georgia Tech in prej tudi skozi West Midtown v daljne severozahodne predele mesta.
  • 6 - Vozi od postaje Inman Park na vzhodu do postaje Lindbergh na severu. Najprej potuje po aveniji Moreland (ki postane Briarcliff Road, po kateri se nadaljuje) s postanki v Little Five Points (tam je bližnjica, če je 10–15 minut hoje preveč) in ponuja krajše sprehode do večjega dela Poncey Highlandsa. Ima tudi postaje na univerzi Emory in Centrih za nadzor bolezni.

Tramvaj

Downtown, Tramvaj v Atlanti je 65 let po koncu prejšnje službe v Atlanto pripeljal tramvaje.

Zgradba Bank of America v središču mesta se dvigne do višine 312 m, kar je najvišja poslovna stavba v državi zunaj New Yorka ali Chicaga. Zaradi gradbenega razcveta je Atlanta bleščala z bleščečimi steklenimi nebotičniki, med katerimi je veliko najdražjih etažnih stanovanj v državi. Kljub temu mesto dolguje velik del svojega sodobnega mestnega okolja doma pridelanemu arhitektu Johnu Portmanu.

V Južna Atlanta is the site of the former Fulton County Stadium, with a preserved section of wall where Hank Aaron hit his historic 715th home run. The Fulton County Stadium site and the adjacent Turner Field (where the Braves played from 1997 to 2016) have since been purchased by Georgia State University (see below for more details on the school's plans for the site). Also of note is that the Braves have their top minor-league team in the metropolitan area—the Gwinnett Stripers play at Coolray Field in Lawrenceville. 
  • 2 Atlanta Falcons (Stadion Mercedes-Benz). The 1998 and 2016 NFC Champions gear up each September to kick off the official nogomet season in Downtown. The Falcons moved into Mercedes-Benz Stadium, then the league's newest venue, in 2017. Mercedes-Benz Stadium hosts most of the events that its predecessor, the Georgia Dome, had hosted, most notably the Southeastern Conference football championship game and the Peach Bowl (one of the six bowl games associated with the College Football Playoff). It has since hosted other events such as Super Bowl LIII in 2019, with the NCAA Men's Final Four in basketball set for April 2020, and at least one FIFA World Cup match possible in 2026.

Covering 4.4 acres (1.8 hectares), State Farm Arena (renamed from Philips Arena in 2018) is Atlanta's state-of-the-art multi-purpose sports and entertainment complex in Downtown. The Atlanta Dream women's team also played here for most of its history, but from the next WNBA season in 2020 will play in the southern suburb of College Park.

Atlanta's nogomet team started play in 2017, and promptly broke multiple records for attendance at Major League Soccer games, going on to win the MLS championship in its second season in 2018, and The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and The Campeones Cup in 2019. Sharing ownership with the Falcons, Atlanta United moved into Mercedes-Benz Stadium at its opening in late August 2017.

The Tour Championship field is limited to 30 players, the survivors of a season-long qualifying process that culminates in the FedEx Cup Playoffs. The winner of The Tour Championship earns over $1.6 million, one of the largest prizes in the sport, and due to a format change in 2019 also wins the season-long FedEx Cup points race that brings a $10 million bonus.

In addition to Georgia Tech, the city has a second NCAA Division I athletic program, and a third is in the metropolitan area. Both have considerably lower profiles than Georgia Tech.

  • The Georgia State Panthers compete in the Sun Belt Conference. The basketball teams play at the school's downtown campus, but most other athletic facilities are in DeKalb County. The football team moved into the Braves' former home of Turner Field, now renamed Georgia State Stadium, for the 2017 season and beyond, converting that venue into a football-specific stadium. The school plans to build a new baseball park within the footprint of the former Fulton County Stadium while retaining the preserved wall section from the original stadium.
  • The Kennesaw State Owls, members of the ASUN (Atlantic Sun) Conference, are in the Cobb County city of Kennesaw. KSU football plays in the Big South Conference at Fifth Third Bank Stadium near its campus; as noted above, that stadium is now home to Atlanta United 2.

While violent crime levels are still high compared to most American cities, most of the violence is related to the drug trade, and takes place in parts of the city visitors rarely - if ever - see.

Usual precautions should be taken, as in any other major city, such as not traveling alone at night and being aware of which neighborhoods are more prone to crime. In Atlanta, the southwest and southeast areas have reported the most incidents of crime; the triangle created by I-285, I-75, and I-20 in particular is a dangerous neighborhood. Avoid the areas surrounding the new Mercedes-Benz stadium such as Bankhead and Vine City. Car theft is exceptionally high by national standards. Outside of the perimeter, crime rates are significantly lower (except Dekalb County).

One thing to definitely watch out for in Atlanta are the homeless. Whereas homeless people in big cities tend to leave you alone if you ignore them, those in Atlanta have been known to harass people regardless, especially in the Downtown, and to a lesser extent, Midtown areas.
