I've never had a bad time here. During the Blackpink concerts, I even met some people that traveled up from Brazil! I love other venues around the city(The Eastern, Masquerade, Roxy, A few others), but when groups grow, State Farm seems to be the place they play... until they're large enough to sell out the football stadium. State Farm Arena is good enough. There are things to do pre-show around the stadium (Coca-Cola Museum, Civil Rights Museum, Aquarium, Olympic Park). There are a few places to eat around but I'd suggest finding a place to eat before you head down to the arena. Out of all the NBA arenas I've been in, you can definitely see and feel the age of this arena. It gets the job done but it needs some upgrades. The staff is always nice and helpful here. I've started to see the setup in other places now but I seem to remember this arena being one of the first with one of those walk-in, it monitors what you take, and leave without any cashiers or employees being around. (Note: To get into the mini-market, you have to swipe card(puts a hold on your card for 25 dollars). If you spend under that, it'll adjust within days. If you spend over that, it'll also adjust upward. I was skeptical at first but it works flawlessly. Bmth sounded great. Twice sounded great. Blackpink sounded okay-ish... the sound was definitely off, muffled, and trying to be LOUD for part of their show. If one of your acts roll through, definitely check them out here. SPECIAL NOTE: Plenty of parking around but if you can, try buying parking in advance at the CNN lot. It usually sells out but if you park on that deck, it's much easier to get away from the traffic post-show.

For those who prefer getting dropped off and picked up from the venue, there was a clear path to do so that wasn't crowded and busy like at bigger venue. They offer food and drinks that you'd see at other venues, and the prices are about what you expect. The attendants are on the older side, but I suppose that would be expected for a performing arts center. They direct foot traffic and try to get everyone to where they need to be. They will check your ticket upon entry (not just security at the door) to give instructions on where your seat will be. They are pretty strict after the performance though and will usher you out.

I've been meaning to write a review for the Atlanta Spirit ever since I read Amanda D's review from…read moreFebruary 2011. So far, the only two reviews on Yelp for the Atlanta Spirit are from Thrashers/hockey fans. I write this review primarily from a Hawks/basketball fan perspective, though I do think they royally screwed up with the Thrashers. How can a world-class, major sports city that's hosted the Olympics and just about every major sporting event lose an NHL team? Sad. In 2004, Time Warner sold the Atlanta Hawks, Atlanta Thrashers, and operating rights to Philips Arena to the Atlanta Spirit. The Atlanta Spirit is an ownership group comprised of seven businessmen, some of whom don't even live in Atlanta. The group originally had nine members, but one got kicked out (I'll get to that next) and another passed away (at age 83). In 2005, the Spirit immediately got off to a rocky start rebuilding the Hawks franchise by overseeing the trade between Atlanta and Phoenix. The Hawks traded Boris Diaw and two first round draft picks in a maximum salary sign-and-trade deal for Joe Johnson, who, at the time, was only the Suns' fourth-best player (behind Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire, and Shawn Marion). I'm a huge NBA fan and when that deal was proposed, I remember thinking how ridiculous it sounded. Joe Johnson was a good player, but no way was he worth max dollars and building a franchise around. At least one owner of the Spirit agreed and it was Steve Belkin, the governor of the group. His disagreement with the Spirit and Hawks management eventually went to the courts, where Belkin was exiled from the group (two other owners picked up his share). Then-Hawks GM Billy Knight wouldn't even shake Belkin's hand afterwards. The trade was eventually consummated and so began the Joe Johnson era in Atlanta. I can see the Spirit's thinking -- no NBA superstar wanted to play in Atlanta. We'd just come off six straight losing seasons, including a league-worst 13-69 in 2004-05. The Spirit had to overpay for someone to come here. In the eight seasons since the Spirit have owned the Hawks, the team has made the playoffs five times. We just could not get over the "hump." The hump being out of the second round. In Atlanta, Joe Johnson became a six-time All-Star. Josh Smith won the dunk contest in 2005. In 2007, we drafted Al Horford. He became a two-time All-Star. We took the eventual NBA champion Boston Celtics to seven games in an exciting playoff series in 2008. Jamal Crawford won 6th man of the year in 2010. So there were definitely some highlights with this group. Joe Johnson, however, was not a superstar. He was and is a very good player, just not a cornerstone. You can't blame him for signing a maximum contract if a team is willing to offer it. In 2008, ownership did the right thing by firing Billy Knight, but his replacement, Rick Sund, signed Joe to a 6-year, $120MM contract in 2010. We would be stuck with Joe forever! (Or would we...?) Speaking of Billy Knight, he made one of the worst draft mistakes ever, by drafting Marvin Williams with the No. 2 pick in 2005 over Chris Paul and Deron Williams (taken with the next two picks). At the time, the thinking was, Marvin Williams would turn out to be the best overall player from that draft class. We already had a ton of forwards, though, and we badly needed a point guard! June 28, 2005 was the day that could have changed the Hawks franchise for the better for decades to come. Instead, we got Marvin, followed by Shelden Williams the next year. The Atlanta Spirit, as a partnership, have a hard time gaining the support of the fans. NBA teams like the Mavs (Mark Cuban), the Lakers (Jerry Buss), the Heat (Micky Arison), the Spurs (Peter Holt), and even now the Nets (Mikhail Prokhorov) have visibly passionate owners who genuinely care about their teams and make an effort to reach out to the fans and local community. Even Cavs owner Dan Gilbert made headlines with his emotional letter to Cleveland fans after LeBron James took his talents to South Beach. I wouldn't be able to pick out any of the Atlanta Spirit owners in a lineup. I'll admit Atlanta is a fairweather sports town. I'm not sure completely why that is, but I know part of the reason is because this is a transplant city. I, myself, moved here from out-of-state and adopted the Hawks as my "#2" team behind the Spurs, who I grew up cheering for. Last month, the Spirit made a great hire in former Spurs VP of Basketball Operations, Danny Ferry, as the new GM of the Hawks. In less than two weeks, Ferry has already done what most thought was impossible: he traded away Joe Johnson's albatross contract (to Brooklyn) and Marvin Williams (to Utah, for a PG no less). A new era is underway in this town and the rebuilding process is swiftly on-going as I write this review. Atlanta has the makings of a great NBA city. If the Spirit can change the culture, the city will embrace the Hawks.

They already…read morescrewed it up with the Thrashers, and they've been screwing up the Hawks since they took it over. Most of what I'm going to write is going to be a rehash of what I wrote for my Atlanta Hawks review. At that time, I didn't think of reviewing Atlanta Spirit. But I have to blam Atlanta Sprit for most of the blame. We all know their dumb moves to handicap the Hawks franchise: * Signing Joe Johnson to a ridiculous contract. * Drafting Marvin Williams before Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Andrew Bynum, David Lee, or Danny Granger. * Making Hawks a treadmill team for over about a decade. Paying Joe Johnson 20million/year seems like their biggest mistake. He's a decent player, but not max level guy. It hindered the franchise from making any moves in the free agency. Marvin Williams also seemed like a decent player. But he was not worth the #2 pick. Hawks needed a good PG, and they could've had Deron or Chris Paul. But nope, Hawks loved their SFs. Almost a decade later, they righted their wrongs and hired Danny Ferry. He undid all of Hawk's past mistakes. I don't know how Danny Ferry will turn out, but he's already making a bunch of good moves. Just for that, I'll give the Spirit Group 1 more star.
