I still can't believe they tore the Omni down to build Phillips. Perhaps it's sentimental, but I saw tons of concerts at the Omni and I never had a bad seat. At Phillips, I saw McCartney from the top rear and couldn't even hear him. I've also sat in club seats for many Thrasher's and Hawk's games and they're great,... More

Connected to the Omni. Great to come early before the game. Visit the Atrium in the Omni for some bites. My family enjoyed the foods served there in the wide open atrium area, relax and ready for the big game (or circuit). More

Philips Arena is a fantastic sports and entertainment venue. Practically not a bad seat in the house (i've sat just about everywhere). Good food choices, good drink choices, lots of bathrooms. Access from the MARTA is the easiest and most efficient way to attend an event. More

We saw a concert here and were pleased with the crowd control, access to bathrooms, and the non-crowded feeling in the seats. Food was pricey, and choices limited, so if you are going there, go a little earlier and go thru the food court at the CNN center. You can eat there, then walk a few steps right into the... More

Philips Arena always seems to have an air of excitement about it. It is huge, with an excellent sound system and a good view of the stage from almost every seat. We last attended a concert of a famous recording artist, and it was an unforgettable night! More

I enjoyed Phillips Arena and had a good experience there. Good selection of food places, although the vendors that come around were sort of disappointing... only beer and cotton candy for options where we were seated. I believe I was in section 211, unfortunately, we could not see the large hanging screen in the middle of the court, so it... More

This is a wonderful facility. We have been to many events and they handle them all beautifully. Stay at the Omni and you won't have to worry about parking or traffic. More

Likes: Many concession options in Club Area, including resturants Club seats were very comfortable, great view of the ring Dislikes: Club area seemed more expensive concession options then other areas. Ticket Takers wouldn't allow in a bottle of water, kinda strict policy--lot of arenas allow small bottle of water now. More
