gtbuzzo20, please don’t comment on here anymore if you’re not going to talk about the actual subject you idiot! Another reason why the games are not sold out is that Atlanta is a big melting pot. There are many people who are not from Atlanta, so they are not Atlanta fans. You can tell when teams like New York and Boston come to town. New York may stink thins year, but they have true die hard fans, which is what the Hawks need more of. I’ve been and always will be a die hard Hawks fan, just wish we had more…..GO HAWKS!

Hawksgirl the arena was filled Wednesday night when Wade came to town. It was crazy. Me personally I enjoy the games when the crowd is modest. Less aggravations to deal with. Less people going for the other team or should I say less superstar fans (Wade, Kobe, Lebron). Less bandwagon fans.

GO HAWKS! RED-OUT THE HIGHLIGHT FACTORY TOMORROW NIGHT YALL!

Speaking on the lateness:

1. People are coming from work during the week. I am one of those people, so I can speak from that point of view.

2. Traffic is a beeotch okay. I have arrived quite a few times at 6pm or a little after six and have gotten caught in traffic that seems to be caused by the officers directing traffic. I be dog gone if I don’t end up sitting in traffic for about 45 minutes or more and then turn around and have to wait in line to have my purse checked and then have the ticket taker say wait the scanner is acting up. By this time I’m pissed because I was at the arena on time if the stupid traffic directing cops would let me make that left so that I can go park my freaking car. But no they want to direct me to the right where I have to get stuck in more traffic just to come back around in a circle. Nevermind that I was in the left lane thinking that I was gonna just make that simple left and bam I can park my freaking car. But no wait you gotta try to get all the way over in the right lane to make that right turn so that you can make the right into more traffic that the brillant cop just told you to make. Okay now I’m cursing and acting a fool and have lost it. Cause when I look at the clock it now tells me that its 7pm when I know I was at the arena to make that left at about 6:15pm but that jerk just told me to make a freaking right.

3. After dealing with all the traffic, you’re really even more screwed if you have to buy a ticket. Now you gotta wait in line behind people who don’t know where the heck they want to sit and hold up the line. Okay get it, you just parked your car at about 7:15 or 7:20. Now you’ve waited in line for about 20 to 30 minutes and get tortured listening to the game and excitement in the ticket line trying to buy a freaking ticket. And to top it all off it’s almost half time. Remember you actually got to the arena around 6:15 all you had to do was make that left and park your freaking car. I blame the non traffic directing cops. Let us make that left turn darnit.

Speaking on the crowd size:

3. Wanna know why the arena may be a lil empty sometimes. Perhaps they/we remembered the stuff went through from a previous game and just don’t want to deal with it again after just getting off work, hey sometimes work is enough stress, why add to that stress trying to get into the arena. Do you blame them/us?

GO RED ON THURSDAY! GO HAWKS!

Charles maybe right but this is what Charles does not know.
-its getting harder to afford tickets due to the reccesion
-Atlanta traffic is crazy and its hard to get into the games
on time unless people use the subway.
-More people want to eat with their family and watch the game on tv instead of going to Phillips Arena because they might not get enough tickets for the entire family

Saw that when he said it and I agree completly, it’s always been that way though. This city has always been a late arriving crowd..especially at Hawks games. People like to screw around at CNN…5 points etc etc. Alot of of it does have to do with traffic…I will give poeple that. But me personally, Im always in my seat before the start of the game. Happy Turkey Day everybody and GO HAWKS!!!

I sit in section 300+ and am very sad to see courtside fans keeping quiet when the opposition is throwing freethrows. If nothing, at least yell.
