Atlanta Braves fans cheer before a game during SunTrust Park's opening weekend in 2017.

The Atlanta Braves announced updates to parking and transportation at SunTrust Park and The Battery Atlanta, such as better disability parking, a second Uber location and ability to pay with credit card for the 2018 season.

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Red Deck and the N29 lot will serve as ADA parking to give fans in need of the spaces closer access to the ballpark. The N29 lot also will provide a shuttle that will pick-up and drop-off outside the Third Base Gate at Battery Avenue.

The new Uber pick-up and drop-off zone will be  located at Heritage Court and Battery Avenue. Postgame traffic will be routed on Battery Avenue to Cobb Parkway. The first Uber location along Windy Ridge Parkway will still be functional and has expanded sidewalks and lighting along the street.

Seven parking (Red Deck, E29, E31, E35, E41, E42 and E43) will begin to accept payment by credit card on-site upon arrival and also will be available for pre-purchase up to two-and-a-half hours before first pitch.

The updates are expected be in place for the Braves exhibition game against the New York Yankees on Monday.
