    Tailgating lot literally in the shadow of the stadium. 2 minute walk to the gates. Great atmosphere. Plenty of purple grilling and having a blast. We will come to more matches this way for sure

    I highly recommend this place as a most visit when you are in town. The view is phenomenal. When you get a chance, go to a game here. You will love the atmosphere ATLANTA brings to the table.

    Best tailgating spot in Atlanta! Grass lot. Clean restrooms. Just steps from entry to the stadium. Love this place?

    I enjoyed the Fall O Ween event hosted here. Entry was quick and convenient. There were plenty of interactive stations for children including photo booths. The food vendors were diverse. The DJ engaged with the crowd and played music everyone could enjoy. The only draw back was that water sold out at the event very quickly. That was concerning considering most individuals were dressed in costumes.

    Ummm if you do NOT wanna walk for 73 miles to get into the stadium park here. 100% worth every cent (was NOT cheap)!!! It was clean, safe, and quick (to get inside), close and easy in/out. We may be a tad spoiled and never park anywhere else. 10 outta 10 would recommend!!!!

    Had a great time doing the boot camp and yoga class here on Monday!! We had class inside of the Mercedes Benz Stadium due to the weather. The field was packed from end to end! Great vibes .. awesome workout!

    We went to Fall-O-Ween at the Home Depot Backyard and had a fantastic time! Free activities for the kids, a big screen showing Jurassic World, and food trucks and vendors for eating. We had the best time! I only wish parking was more accessible. Paying $20 to park across the street for a kid's event wasn't fun or easy lugging chairs and blankets.

    It’s a lovely grass lot in the shadow of the MBS. Although a bit pricey, it’s a perfect place to tailgate before and after a game at the Stadium. Easy in/out and plenty of room for passing the ball around with the kids. Very mild crowd, in my experience. Feels magical with the architecture of the Benz soaring above.

    Loved the environment of this tailgate scene before the ATL United soccer match. Worth while for a couple of hours of tents, grills and outdoor soccer play before the big match.

    It's was AMAZING!! 💥 I've never been, and my first experience was phenomenal I was super excited to see a lot of Black families out enjoying themselves, dancing eating getting along and having fun. I live in Dallas GA, and I have a lengthy commute but in spit of the commute better believe I'll travel there again. My three year old love it, she danced sang, played and are well 💕

    If you are planning to go a game you definitely want to plan to get there early for all the phone at The Home Depot Backyard activities. Lots of fun activities for adults and more importantly The Home Depot Backyard is where the kids have a blast. It was great to see everyone enjoying themselves and have a blast. Life Hack - Get there early enough to spend some time there before the game. #uncommonrealestate

    Ok. My first time visiting the Home Depot Backyard was for the purpose of attending the Night Market. I had heard about the Night Market previously and was really looking forward to experiencing it, however, I was greatly underwhelmed. I purchased parking in advance ($12), but trying to find the Orange Deck was sooo difficult! The address they provide isn’t really helpful, so if using Waze, just type in Orange Deck (20 Lower Andrew) and it’ll take you right to the deck. The Orange Deck is literally right behind the Home Depot Backyard so it’s just a short elevator ride to get to the entrance. Major plus! Now on to the Night Market. I originally planned to purchase the $80+ ticket, but my gut told me not to, therefore, I purchased the cheaper ticket for $45+, which came with 3 food and 2 beverage tokens (more than enough)! I was expecting there to be lots of food and beverage vendors throughout the market, but came to see that there were maybe 6 food vendors and 3 beverage vendors (highly disappointing). The food options were greatly limited! There were only 2 food vendors that intrigued me, out of the 6 that were in attendance, leaving me with 1 food token. While I was sitting eating and enjoying the live music, a random family came up to me and gave me all their tokens (6 drink tokens), which I thought was just my luck, but I quickly realized it was because there were only 3 beverage vendors, and all had 1 drink they were serving (pretty boring). Honestly, my fave part were the arts and craft vendors. I was able to purchase some handmade goodies, so at least I didn’t leave empty handed! Some very talented folks! Overall, I would recommend coming at least once to the Night Market to experience it, but that’s about it. Oh and I love how they laid out the tables and decorations, very chic ambiance!

    The best New Atlanta attraction, besides the water fountain for humans and dog fountains, during the summer they have ice water. On their Super Saturday event they have petting zoo's, free snow cones, Children and adult painting class, live DJ, board games, Bouncy house for the children, also a children flower/planting class, skin care giveaways and also everthing is totally free and fun besides the food truck which are awesome by the way. Just register online and it's fun once a month all summer on their Super Saturday.

    Here for COVID testing. Appointments encouraged, but everyone who shows up ends up in the same line, so it's really first come, first served. At an hour and fifteen minutes wait time so far, we might get out in under 2 hours. While appointments at CVS usually have ~30 minutes of waiting,at least they honor appointments. Use another location unless you have time to waste or can't get an appointment.

    The Coca-Cola pre-game was great, although it was really hot. They could install more fans to keep the tents breezy. The food catered was delicious and the wrist bands had more than enough drink tickets.

    A great place to tailgate before Atlanta United or Falcons games. Grassy area to park and plan on. Decent bathrooms and steps away from gate one, and an entrance to the suites. The giant chrome soccer ball is also adjacent to The Backyard.

  • 3/5 Felecia D. 2 years ago on Google
    SEMG concert: Overall the park and atmosphere was nice. The problem for me was you couldn’t bring food nor beverage in. Cool but the food vendors lines were long, running out of food while there were still long lines the only alcohol was beer and can beverage with 5 to 7 % alcohol. Drinking alcohol you need to eat. The event was sold out so the vendors quantity should have matched. It’s not that people we’re going to get seconds the reason they ran out of food, they couldn’t get everyone served the first time around. If food and small size coolers were allowed, that would’ve help with some of the long lines and running out of food issues. I read the park rules but I was hoping at least they could accommodate with mixed drinks and not running out of food. Now it is 7pm and have not seen anyone but the Whispers. I left about 7:30 hungry and needed something besides can alcohol to drink. You talking about a monkey wrench being thrown in my birthday celebration. I will return only if the food and beverage rules change.
