Brakes make adjustments to parking for new season

Using credit cards to pay for spots, Uber, ADA among changes.

It appears the Atlanta Braves have listened to the complaints of fans and tweaked how folks get to games at SunTrust Park.

The team announced the alterations on Tuesday, about a week before the exhibition game with the New York Yankees on March 26.

In all, the stadium has about 14,000 parking spots.

The big changes are as follows:

■ Drivers can now pay for parking with credit cards at certain lots

■ There’ll be a second Uber pick-up/drop-off spot

■ ADA parking will be consolidated in an effort for more accessibility

Last season, the team didn’t let people pay for parking by credit card the first few games because they wanted to get people in the habit of paying ahead?

It seems they struck out. Seven parking lots will now accept payment by credit card. They are: Red Deck, E29, E31, E35, E41, E42 and E43. The lots are available for pre-purchase up to 2½ hours before first pitch.

The second spot for Uber users will be located at Heritage Court and Battery Avenue, with postgame traffic being routed west on Battery Avenue to Cobb Parkway.

And the original Uber pick-up/ drop-off location along Windy Ridge Parkway will now have 12-foot-wide si dewa lks and “enhanced lighting.”

Last season, ADA-compliant parking was scattered throughout multiple lots. Now, such parking will be limited to the Red Deck and the N29 lot.

Those who park at the N29 lot can use a shuttle that’ll pick up and drop off at Battery Avenue just outside the Third Base Gate starting 2½ hours before first pitch.
