The Atlanta Hawks, Uber, and Gentleman Jack, have joined together to create the ultimate fan experience from courtside to curbside with a co-branded pick-up area for games and other events at Philips Arena. The designated area will serve as a convenient meeting point for Uber riders to easily find their drivers when using the popular ride-sharing app. The new zone will also help to ease heavy traffic during peak times by cutting down on congestion.
The Gentleman Jack / Uber Pick-Up Zone will be located at the arena’s lower level parking in the Philips Lot across from the area known as “The Gulch.” It can be accessed by exiting the doors nearest portal 12 and crossing the CNN Deck walkway and going down the stairwell. Alternately, it may be reached by taking the elevators in the CNN Deck at Centennial Park Drive down to the lower level.
“The Hawks are consistently exploring ways to provide our fans with a 360-degree, premium experience,” said Andrew Saltzman EVP and Chief Revenue Officer, Atlanta Hawks and Philips Arena. “It’s exciting to work with great partners like Uber and Gentleman Jack who share the same vision with safety and convenience in mind.”
