ATLANTA (CBS ATLANTA) -
It is one of the busiest holiday weekends of the year and that means a lot of traffic and hundreds of thousands packing into Atlanta's streets.
The Chick- fil-A Kickoff at the Georgia Dome will bring in a lot of screaming fans. On Saturday, Auburn plays Clemson in the second game of the SEC vs. ACC showdown.
On Friday, Tennessee played North Carolina State in a game that had fans tailgating all over downtown Atlanta.
"It's an SEC and ACC matchup, but NC State is bringing the heat, that's all that can be said," Paul Griffin from Raleigh, NC, said.
This weekend, officials urge visitors to use MARTA to avoid major traffic delays.
