State Farm Arena Events

State Farm Arena has been home to the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks since it opened its doors in 1999, with the NHL’s short-lived Atlanta Thrashers franchise sharing the venue with the Hawks until 2011 (when the hockey team relocated to Winnipeg to become the second iteration of the Winnipeg Jets). State Farm Arena has borne witness to the Atlanta Hawks’ many (still, as of yet, unsuccessful…) playoff campaigns, which included a heartbreaking loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2015 Eastern Conference Finals and another at the same stage in 2021 at the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks. The atmosphere for NBA basketball games at State Farm Arena is often lauded as one of the best in the league, with Hawks fans clad in red, yellow, and black gathering early to eat, drink, and socialize in the buildup to tip-off before spending much of the game on the edge or up out of their seats. Befitting its agriculturally inspired name, State Farm Arena serves up plenty of delicious dishes to satisfy hungry visitors, including its “Taste of Atlanta” restaurants featuring local restaurants like Chick-fil-A (portables), Blaze Steak & Seafood, J.R. Crickets, and others. There are also numerous shops and kiosks around the venue hawking Atlanta Hawks and event merchandise.
