And there's more. The Atlanta Falcons are playing an exhibition game at the Georgia Dome at 8 p.m., and many fans will head into town early for prime tailgating spots.
It's also the day Georgia Tech freshman are moving into their new dorm rooms.
Oh, and there's a good chance of rain this afternoon that could bring gusty winds and heavy lightning, according to the Channel 2 Action News weather team.
