    Every seat is pretty much a good seat at this place. Great venue! Only wish you could take food you buy from the CNN food court(which is connected to the building) into the Arena.

    Went to a Hawks game, parked next to College Hall of Fame for quick in and out. Love the announcer for the Hawks. Wish their wifi worked (please fix!). A lot of fun overall.

    As with most things in Atlanta the traffic and parking (deck) are a nightmare. Recent updates create a much wider, more open concession area. Good vendors available. I like the new video board

    Attended The Weeknd concert here, great visual no matter the location however be careful while walking. Pathways are narrow& have little to no room and hang on to the railings while using the stairs.

    Let's Go Hawks! They should let all fans move down a section at the end of the 3rd to fill seats & reward loyal fans!

    The Clubside has a great view no matter what seat you're in. You get a great view of everything & everyone. Like the fan section for example #GoHawks

    Great place to take in a game but its the best arena to watch professional wrestling cause of the closeness of the seats to the ring

    Pregame at CNN. Take Marta and exit at Peachtree center. Walk through the park to avoid crowds and transfers.

    #1 tip: Beat the crowds!!! For the best in excitement and sports Philips Arena is the place to be. If the food gets too expensive the CNN Center is just a short walk away.

    WetBar at the W Atlanta Downtown is the best way to take in views of the city, rain or shine. Grab a drink at the rooftop pool bar.

    Go Hawks. Though they need to hire more ticket takers. Enter on GA dome side for shorter lines
