Braves release additional info on traveling to SunTrust Park

The Atlanta Braves released a video today announcing additional transportation information on traveling to and from SunTrust Park this season.

“The amount of planning and coordination that has taken place between our organization and our partners is staggering, and today’s announcement is a testament to their hard work,” said Mike Plant, president, development for the Braves. “With three months to go until Opening Day, we have already secured significantly more parking than we had for a ballpark that is much smaller. Additionally, we have already analyzed and forecasted traffic flow through every corridor entering our development. While we know this plan will continue to evolve, we couldn’t be more pleased with where we are at this time.”

The team along with MLB Advanced Media is developing a new app where fans will be able to buy tickets and parking. The app itself will also feature Waze integration to give real time traffic alerts to people navigating the area. The Braves say there is 14 different ways in and out of SunTrust Park. In addition, Cobb County will be managing more than 30 intersections to assist in controlling traffic.

SunTrust Park will offer more than 11,000 parking spaces are are still adding more. Braves A-List members will be able to purchase a season parking pass and lock in a reserved space for the full season.

“Our Transportation Management Plan is a working document that will continue to evolve as we move toward Opening Day and more parking lots come online,” said Lt. Lorens. “We have identified the most critical intersections based on the current distribution of parking, but we know more parking will come online as property owners in the area apply for and are granted permits to park cars. Once this takes place, we will integrate them into this plan.”

The team is also working closely with Uber. There will be a designated Uber Drop off zone close to the main gate along a pick up area for after the game.
