IMPACT
September 24, 2017 - 5 p.m.
Watch Atlanta United FC take on Montreal
Impact in this MLS match up at the new,
Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
MERCEDES-BENZ STADIUM’S FREE
BIKE VALET SERVICE
Atlanta sports fanatics looking to offset the cost
of tickets will soon have a free option for getting
to games at the city’s gleaming new arena.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium has teamed with the
Atlanta Bicycle Coalition to provide a free bike
valet service for anyone attending Atlanta
Falcons’ games and Atlanta United matches.
The service, operated by Two Wheel Valet, will be available starting two hours before kickoff and then ending an hour after games. Officials stressed that bicyclist’s need only to pedal up to the valet (located at the main gate, 1414 Andrew Young International Boulevard NW) and drop off their wheels, with no pre-booking or app-downloading required. A few more specifics on how the process will work, as outlined in a press release: “The valet will utilize a digital check-in service for cyclists to quickly and efficiently check their bikes in. When dropping off their bikes, cyclists simply provide their phone number, and they will be sent a text that includes a secure claim ID and the time that the valet will close. Helmets, lights, bags, and locks can all stay on the bikes, making bike parking easy, fast, and secure.” ABC officials have mapped out optimum bicycle
routes to Mercedes-Benz Stadium which make
use of new bike paths and lanes throughout the
city.
