I posted last year about going to ATL SX but didn’t make it. I tried searching the site but didn’t find much. I’ve never been to a SX race (went to the GP in Charlotte, didn’t get pit passes). I plan on taking my wife and 6 year old. I’d like to fly out of Raleigh and get in ATL before lunch.
1. Seat recommendations? I know it’s a new stadium so might be a guess
2. I want take him in the pits, monster can or just buy a pass?
3. Dumb question , to see the guys and get autographs do you have to do anything special or just get in the pits ?
4. Hotel ideas? I thought we’d just Uber from the airport to hotel.
Thanks

2. I bought a pass last year because I couldn't confirm if the monster can worked or not.
3. Pit pass is all you will need.
4. I stayed at a hotel across from turner field and used uber for every trip to the dome, it was usually less than $5 each trip. Uber really comes in handy after the race because of the traffic nightmare.
2. Monster can for sure
3. Back in the day just have a pit pass and wait in line. Now in Atlanta if you want a big name rider you may have to get a pass early because they will only sign so many. Atlanta pits are awesome and crazy at the same time. They are awesome because its packed and it makes the riders seem like rockstars but it is crazy because it can be hard to move around.
4. If money isn't a problem I suggest the Omni hotel connected to Phillips Arena. You can just walk to the stadium then.

I live about an hour and a half outside of Atlanta and had the pleasure of going to a Falcons game (will also be attending the Atlanta SX). The whole idea behind the structural design was to create a good vantage from all seats. I actually sat in section 324 as high up as you could before it turns to bleacher style seating. I am visually impaired (-9.50, -8.50) and was able to follow majority of the game. If you come to find you can't see, that digital halo that hangs is 60,000 sq ft I believe.
In regards to your other questions,
1. Last year a monster can got you in, easy to just walk by front of line and see what people are providing for entry if you want to double check.
1B. Early bird gets the worm with signatures.
2. Great choice of hotel, you'll be connected to the CNN Center/Phillips Arena and only a short walk to the Stadium.
