The arena's location was excellent. It is conveniently located to Marta. The sound system was good however the visuals were not adequate. The screens in the middle of the arena were not in use leaving only the visuals behind and beside the stage. It was a great concert so the overall experience was good.

Awesome and fun show. Always entertaining and funny. The crowds were not too heavy so it made for a fun evening. Parking around here is sufficiently available and well worth the few dollars spent to get your venue quickly. Security is very tight and makes for a great experience. In addition, you can get a quick bite to eat before... More

This place is great. You can see many events such as the Atlanta Hawks. Definitely a place I always would love to return to.

The concourse for Philips Arena is very nice and exciting, but the actual arena itself is rather plain compared to most modern NBA and major college arenas. It is also kind of small. Still it was a comfortable place to watch a basketball game, and it had nice amenities (food and bathrooms).

They have VeniVediVici restaurant serving pasta. It takes a while to wait on it but one plate feeds two very well. Also, fans were better than typical ATL (I guess because it was the playoffs) the place was packed with Hawks fans. Also went there for a comedy show - Kevin Hart. It was a different arrangement and almost too... More

We bought our tickets on StubHub and had terrible seats, we were literally the last row of seats in the highest section. However, we were still able to enjoy the show using the big screens and binoculars that we rented. The location is great - an easy walk from the Embassy Suites. Traffic control seemed to be working well. We... More

Attended a NBA game here and the arena is not too much different from others I've been to except for the fact that I was able to place a food and beverage order with an attendant without leaving my seat. If need be I'll be back for more games next NBA season.

We went to a concert while in town and bought tickets on Stub Hub. It is connected to the CNN building so easy for an out of towner to park and eat prior to the show. Easy to get out and on the highway after the show as well.
