Hi guys!

The stakes are getting higher in this season of the NBA Playoffs. Today, I am going to give you some tips about Philips Arena in Atlanta Georgia. Philips Arena is currently the home of the Atlanta Hawks and the NHL’s Atlanta Thrashers. Atlanta is beautiful city and it is definitely a hot spot for sports and entertainment junkies.

Philips Arena Location & Information
Philips Arena
1 Philips Drive NW
Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Philips Arena was built in 1999 and is known for its unique architecture and seating. The arena seats over 19,000 during basketball games and approximately 18,000 for hockey games. During concerts and other events, seating can be expanded to host over 20,000 visitors.

Philips Arena is not your traditional indoor entertainment complex. I highly suggest viewing the seating map, before purchasing your tickets. This arena has all of the luxury suites and club seating lined up on one side of the court. The special layout of Philips arena gives regular ticket holders a better experience and makes all ticket holders happy. Every seat in the house is great.
