Atlanta Hawks

State Farm Arena

Atlanta, Georgia

A Hawks night at State Farm Arena, by Centennial Olympic Park.

The local take

A downtown arena with a MARTA stop steps from its entrance, near Centennial Olympic Park, the Georgia Aquarium and the College Football Hall of Fame, with Midtown’s bars a MARTA ride north.

Most Hawks home games tip off at 7 p.m. Eastern, many of them on weeknights. Some start at 7:30 or 8 p.m., and some weekend and holiday games start in the afternoon, so check your game’s time. Gates open 60 minutes before tip-off, and the arena is cashless. For a weekend trip, the aquarium, the park and the Beltline fill the day before.
