[flipflop4900]

I have the 75 to atl to 20 way but I am hearing the other way is better I think it is 75 to 231 to 65 or something can someone post the directions for this way please... thanks...!!

I was originally going 75 to 20 but have changed as well.  I think the best route is I-75 to I-10 to 231 (up through Dothan and Montgomery) and then to I-65 arriving at the southeast end of Bham.  You'll should pass by Legion Field on the way to the hotel.

From Lakeland?

Take I-75 to I-10, to 231, to I-65.

OR

98 to 19 to I-10 to 231...

GO BULLS!

I don't know about that.  that's how you get to Troy State and it was real slow on 231.  It's a nice 4 lane road through Montgomery that I know of, but there are many small towns with cops and lights.  Just my take.

Flipper:

Take the I-10 to 231 route.  231 is a nice four lane highway.  Yes, the Gen. is right, you must slow down for the towns (especially Ozark, AL), but between towns it is a 65 mph highway.  When you get to Montgomery, you turn left on South Blvd. and it will take you straight out to I-65.  We take this route down from Illinois every year for the holidays.

I also recommend that those going this way from Tampa area consider taking the new Suncoast Parkway toll road to Brooksville and take 19 north to Monticello.  It chops off a big chunk of I-10.

As opposed to the nations 4th worst traffic in Atlanta??

U.S. 231 is just less than an hour past Tallahassee on I-10.  It runs North through Dothan ("Doe-thaan") Alabama, then turns NNW through Troy to Montgomery. In Montgomery, follow signs for I-65 North.

Now, US 231 is not a limited-access highway and there are a few small towns along the way.  However, it will depend on when you leave.

If you leave Lakeland any time after, say, 8:00am - DO NOT go through Atlanta.  You will spend at least an hour if not more in rush hour traffic there.  Remember, this is the last work day before the holiday so A LOT of people will be getting out of work early in the Big Peach.  I would expect that traffic will start to back up sometime around 3:00pm.

It will be interesting to hear stories of which direction people took at Dreamland friday night.

Just a quick thought here, and maybe a waste of time.

Map-quest from your hotel to Dreamland, Five-Points, Legion Field or anywhere else you may need/want to go.

If you are staying in or near downtown, you can ride the trolley:
