Pros: Good location, plenty of parking, good events held here.
Cons: Horrible seating for most events
Summary: Parking at Philips isn't a problem, just park at one of the decks right across the street and it is a very short walk away from the entrance. Food will cost you an arm and a leg, so eat before you come. For any event, get the closets seats in the middle ... read more

Pros: Easily Accessible, unique setup, reasonable prices, a template for future arenas
Cons: None come to mind
Summary: Being that I travel all over the country, I have had the opportunity to see almost all the new arenas that have been built, and some of the historic ones. The Philips Arena, in Atlanta, just blows every other arena out of the water. It all starts when ... read more

Pros: all seats are good, good food, clean
Cons: high food/beer prices
Summary: Ok, so maybe I am just a bit biased because I work for the Atlanta Thrashers. I love Philips Arena. This is the best arena I have ever seen a hockey or basketball game in.

Pros: Location, atmosphere
Cons: ticket prices
Summary: Wait until you see this place. I can see how they were able to pay for this new arena. You go into the place, sit in your seat, look across, and all you see are sky boxes. That's not really a big deal, but half of them are empty. I guess the are mostly ... read more

Pros: comfy seats and waiters
Cons: that stupid chicken
Summary: I am a first year season ticket holder for hockey. I love it. The arena really caters to the season ticket holders. We get a lot of extras that the other seats don't have. First off we have big comfy seats with armrests. This is nice, but I hardly ... read more
