Georgia State expands football parking restrictions at Center Parc Stadium

Parking fines go up near Georgia State stadium

Those attending a Georgia State Panthers game will want to think twice about parking along the roadways surrounding Center Parc Stadium. Police said they will be out enforcing parking fines for non-residents.

ATLANTA - To prevent spillover football traffic from going into downtown neighborhoods, parking restrictions are being expanded around the Georgia State University venue.

Center Parc Stadium, which sits five blocks from the state Capitol, also has several residential neighborhoods surrounding it.

And college football begins this weekend.

Here are the rules.

Fans will need to park in an authorized lot.
On neighborhood streets, unless you have a friend who can give you a guest decal, do not park there.
Fines will start at $75.00. They can go as high as $1,000.00.

The parking situation has grown worse due to university construction that has taken place. The development has significantly reduced the land for private parking.

The best advice may be to take MARTA or rideshare.
