Atlanta Hawks New Stadium To Feature Courtside Bar, Barbershop & Topgolf

The Atlanta Hawks are taking an interesting angle on the new stadium they're building. They're going to fill their new home with things that have nothing to do with actually watching the basketball game the fans are paying to see like a courtside bar, barbershop & Topgolf. Amazing concept. Per CNN...

When the project is done, the arena will have 360-degree connectivity to go with new restaurants and bars — including the first bar on an NBA floor. The Hawks Bar, in the shape of the team’s iconic “Pac-Man” logo, will be just steps from the court. “You literally will be 10 feet from the action while you’re having your cocktail and standing and talking with your friends,” Koonin said to CNN. “The day of sitting in your seat, eating your hot dog and having a beer are gone forever. It’s about socialization and a great night out.”

Topgolf simulators also will have a new home at the revamped arena, where the existing six-level wall of suites will be demolished and replaced with a new concourse, upper deck and conference center with new seating options and amenities. Two suites will be equipped with the golf simulators, making Philips Arena the first sports-and-entertainment facility to offer the Topgolf Swing Suite technology. It is also is available at the Four Seasons Hotel in Houston.
