Vaught’s note:This is information any Kentucky fan going to Atlanta for Friday’s Indiana-Kentucky game should pay attention to and heed the advice.

I wanted to send you a quick note to ask for your help in regards to Friday’s game. We have several different things going on around the Georgia Dome that is going to create some traffic congestion. The Atlanta Hawks have a home game with a 7:30 tip across the street and our sister facility next door, the Georgia World Congress Center,  is hosting one of the largest dental convention in the Southeast throughout the day on Friday with over 15,000 people in attendance. Those two things, in addition with the usual Atlanta 5:00 – Friday afternoon traffic is going to cause some delays in the area around the Dome.

What I would like to ask each of you to help me with if you could, please help spread the word to your fans and media outlets on a few simple things:

• If at all possible take MARTA to and from the Georgia Dome. Many MARTA stations offer free parking lots and there are two stations that serve the Georgia Dome. More info can be found at gadome.com
• If you do choose to drive pre-purchase your parking spots on gadome.com
• Plan ahead for the traffic and delays that will be in and around the downtown area on Friday afternoon, doors to the Dome will open at 5:30 on Friday.

If any of your media wants more info feel free to have them reach out to me and I can give them all the info.

Please let me know if I can help you with anything else leading up to the tournament and I will see you in Atlanta.

Thanks,
