Depends on what section of Midtown. Honestly, during rush hour the traffic going north on I-75 isn't bad until you get past the perimeter, just as traffic going south on 75/85 is bad to sometimes a nightmare. Being right off of 10th street, I know on a first hand basis that during the Braves scheduled games, its actually easier to go north as far as traffic is concerned.
With that being said, it will be harder(traffic woes) for those coming from the south metro, but at the same time, it will be easier for those coming from the like of Marietta, Buckhead, etc.
