The crossing over the river is quite a distance from SunTrust Park. US 41 (Cobb Parkway) runs in front of the stadium. At its closest Atlanta Road is a few miles from the stadium. According to my quick surface roads check on Google maps the stadium is 6 miles from the Atlanta Road crossing of the river.
That said, I think ultimately the path chosen might indeed be Atlanta Road, since it's unlikely the remaining CSX path will be used.
