If Riding MARTA in Atlanta... Bring Cash

It's one of the busiest weekends of the year in Atlanta and Atlanta's rail system, MARTA is recommending you bring cash.

If you plan on riding MARTA this Labor Day weekend bring cash, urges agency officials.

MARTA Breeze vending machines are experiencing delays systemwide, said MARTA spokeswoman Ashanti Allen, in a statement Sunday.

“Customers are encouraged to bring cash for entry until debit and credit card function is restored,” she said. MARTA is increasing staff at several locations to reduce any inconvenience and help customers avoid delay, she added.

“MARTA regrets this inconvenience to customers and is working diligently with Cubic - the Breeze system vendor - to correct this issue as quickly as possible,” Allen said.

Fan Dies After Falling From Upper Deck at Georgia Dome

A Tennessee Football fan fan fell from the upper deck at the Georgia Dome Friday night during the NC State vs. Tennessee football game. 

Investigator Leon Harrison at the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office told The Associated Press early Saturday that Isaac Grubb of Lenoir City, Tenn., was pronounced dead Friday night, minutes before midnight, at an Atlanta hospital.

Emergency crews said a 20-year-old male fell about 35 feet from the upper level and landed on another person sitting in the mezzanine area.

Fans who were near the man that fell said he was sitting in section 311, behind the endzone.

From WSBTV.com:

"Tennessee had scored a touchdown -- I believe it was the second. There were three people who weren't with [our group].  It looked like [the man who fell] was doing a fist pump, and then he was gone over the top," said William Coates, Tennessee fan from Arkansas. "He wasn't moving. His chest was moving a little."

“He was just laying there [in the section below] between rows. It took like 15 minutes for the medical workers to get there."

After the medical workers arrived he was taken to Atlanta Medical Center.

Georgia World Congress Center police are currently investigating the incident. So far, there is no word if alcohol played a factor in the incident.

Harrison said the other fan was a man who was subsequently treated at another Atlanta hospital and released. He had no further details on the man's identity or his condition.
