State Farm Arena

I love this concert venue so much! Formerly Philips arena as well, It serves Atlanta with entertainment as a "world-class" facility, and the building overall is clean and is well maintained. 👌 I love that state farm arena is serving 20k and over crowds in an organized manner. I hope more kpop groups will come to this venue and surrounding venues like gas south arena in the future! This facility serves Atlanta's charm well! From Iheartradio events to ateez, to blackpink, nct 127, nct dream, I've been to all the kpop events in this venue! Thanks for an amazing 5-6 years, State Farm Arena! I almost and wanted to attend taylor swift back in 2009/2010 as well for an american event. Thank you for being the premier venue for all of us! I hope you serve us well in the future and on.

We came here for a WWE Premium Live Event and it went fairly smoothly. The line was a little bit wild to get in the building but we moved inward quickly. We got some food and drinks and they were tasty, but a little pricey as usual for arenas. The show was very fun and we had a great view! Unrelated to the arena, but we got to see one of the best matches of the year.

State Farm Arena is an amazing facility with great staff, clean restrooms. Drink and food prices are a bit extreme. $21 for a tall can of beer, $10 for a slice of pizza and $20 for nachos!!! I understand inflation and tariffs but man!

Overall we had a good time here. As for the arena, it's your typical arena. I think the staff is friendlier than most. The place is clean. But there's nothing exceptional about the architecture or acoustics.

I had to take a moment to tell you how fabulous the staff at State Farm Arena are! Everyone we encountered was gracious, friendly and super helpful! The facility is so accessible friendly, if you have accommodation needs don’t hesitate to visit and ask for help. Special shoutout to Chandler, Tyrec and Dariaus! Also shoutout to ALL the wonderful staff in section 215! Row P had the most spectacular time!

I came here with my work friends for a Hawks game and we had a great time. The arena is cool and has some decent food. The have cutwaters which is a plus. The team store had a wide selection as well.

We loved our first UFC experience! The seats were roomy but the food was so expensive. Probably one of the most expensive arena we have been to. The artwork was nice, the dj was on point! The souvenir cups that stay cold were awesome.

State Farm Arena is a fantastic venue in the heart of Atlanta! It's super convenient to get to, especially by MARTA — the train drops you off just steps away from the entrance. The staff are friendly and well-organized, always ready to guide guests so you never feel lost. Parking can be a bit tricky if you don’t plan ahead, but booking early makes it smooth. Whether you're here for a concert, game, or show, the atmosphere is electric. Overall, a top-notch experience every time!

State Farm Arena is a pretty nice venue! It's nicely located in downtown Atlanta within walking distance to a lot of other cool activities, like the Olympic park & College FB Hall of Fame and more. It's pretty easy to navigate the arena. What I really enjoyed is how much art and other things there are to look at while you walk around. They have art hung on the walls from local artists, as well as trophy cases for famous Atlanta entertainment figures and history. I came here for a Hawks game and even though there was a million people it was really low stress getting through security and finding our seats. If you've been to any kind of professional sports event you know how quickly entering and exiting can turn into a nightmare. This was not that way. You can also take the Marta subway train directly to and from the arena. I thought this was a super neat option and could be so nice to not have to worry about parking and navigating driving in the city. I did think that this arena was super loud compared to other venues I've been to- I understand in the main atrium it's going to be loud, but even in the hallways and where the concessions were was just as loud. There was no escape from the noise and that's not the case in other arenas I've been to. But overall, definitely would come here again (though I will never ever cheer for the Hawks, sorry)- I also really like the setup they have for the big screens in the main area, it's easier to see and read then some places.

I've only been here once for a concert but I thought that it was a solid venue. It's right next to a Marta station if you don't want to deal with parking. I took a Lyft and was able to be dropped off right by the door that I went in. A big mistake that I made was not knowing that gate 7 offers expedited entry if you have a Chase credit card. I didn't buy any food/beverage but some of the areas for them looked really nice. The rideshare situation was really confusing. The website says that it's accessible from Andrew Young International Blvd, which it was. It was pretty easy to find and a good size but it was empty and cars didn't seem to be going into it. I wasn't sure if it was closed or what. Everyone was just getting picked up on Andrew Young itself instead.

I came here to see usher! What a great show and getting there was easy. Concessions were quick but of course expensive. I spent about 45 dollars on 1 drink and a plate of tenders with fries. The floor seats had an amazing view and I loved the private concessions area and the look. I wish the floor seats weren't placed so close together. We were sitting shoulder to shoulder. After the show we were directed to the "ride-share lot". After walking through the entire stadium to reach the opposite side. We went outside and realized the cars weren't going to be allowed in. In order to meet our Uber we had to double back and meet them at the end of the block. It took forever in the cold. Leave early and leave out of the nearest door.

Eh, the seats are so freaking tight! If you are tall I suggest an end seat. We are stuff like sardines in this place for a comedy show. This section is a good look for concerts and show though. It's a straightforward look without turning your head.

Usher Baby. Need I say more. I have been here before but this was an experience. Usher gave a spectacular o pop performance. Celebrities were in the house and the entire audience was on their feet for most of the performances. Can't give it all away but he had 2 different artist performing in his show. He went through the floor meeting wit people and having fun. This was one of the best shows that I have ever seen. State Farm arena is awesome for games and music performances.

Awesome venue!! I visited for the Missy Elliott, Ciara, Timberland, and Busta Rhymes "Out of This World Tour." There is plenty of comfy seating, great performances/ headliners, easy entry & exiting. The concession stand lines move quickly, clean bathrooms, and visually attractive venue. I would definitely visit this establishment again if given the opportunity.

I went to see Missy Elliot's Out of This world tour. I sat on the floor about 12 rows from the stage. I love this area as it was close to the bathroom, bar and eatery. It was a liitle difficult to get to that area. You're boxed in!!! I woukd come back again to see another concert.

Fav venue! Great place to see concerts and sports events. My only complaint is that the food/drink prices are outrageous. They need to meet with the Mercedes Benz Stadium ownership, where everything is normal prices.

(This is a critique of the atmosphere more than the building, particularly the Hawks) It has been about 5-7 years since I attended a sporting event at this venue. Let's just say, they've made some improvement to the overall customer experience. While, the crowd may not have been as lively as desired, it didn't have anything to do with the surrounding stimuli. The music was rocking and the in between game moment were entertaining as well. This might just convince me to support the home team a little more often. (And the Hawks won!) Shoutout to State Farm Arena for really solidifying this space in the Atlanta sports scene.

So I have never had seats like these for a concert. When I bought these tickets there was a deal for the three seats. It said they included free food and drink. I didn't really pay attention but when we got inside we went to a special section where we had to scan our tickets again and then we were let into a huge eating area with a full bar, several food stations, a desert section, and lots of seating. It was amazing! Then we got through to our seats, they were the most comfortable seats for a concert, I have ever had! Lots of room side to side and for my legs! There were conpleteky cushioned and had spots for setting your drink as well as power ports to charge your phone! We were in the front row so the view was outstanding but any seat in this section would have been just about as good. The arena was outstanding! A perfect concert venu and the show was one of the better concerts I have seen in a while. If you like AJR make sure you go see them live! Outstanding visually and audio wise. I just might have spoiled my kids and I from seeing a concert any other way. It was really a great experience! One I know none of us will forget! I did spend a bit for these tickets even with the deal... but man it was truly worth it!

What does one say about an arena in which you attend a concert? It's a huge space and can be overwhelming, but thankfully there are signs to help guide you. There are options for stairs, elevators, and some escalators to get upstairs. The facility itself is nice. Pretty clean overall. Alcohol/food sales are outrageous, as is expected anywhere, but that is no surprise. The only real issue I have is that when it comes to entrances for lines - they do not clarify where you are supposed to go. The one line we could see originally was like 2 miles long, so we walked all the way around to the other side and saw 2 other lines that were merging into one, so we just jumped into one. It obviously took a while to get inside, but no surprise there either. It's also conveniently located to multiple hotels, restaurants, parking garages, etc - so it's pretty easy to get to.

Went to arena to see the Janet Jackson concert and it was an amazing experience. The arena is spectacular with plenty of food and drinks options to choose from. There is a parking garage along with plenty outdoor parking for a minimal fee. Janet was phenomenal and it was a great experience.

It was very simple and straight forward to park and enter the building after going through security. The prices for beverages and food are a little steep, but won't break the bank. The bathrooms are clean and stocked with soap and toilet paper. The arena itself is huge and I recommend paying a little extra for a great seat.

I use to live a few blocks away from this arena so being an avid basketball head, I would come here several times a year just to catch a game when time permitted. Particularly the Knicks games cause I'm a die hard fan so those tickets in particular were frequently purchased. I no longer live in ATL but decided to take a day trip for the game that Knicks were back in town for and unfortunately we got stomped out by the Hawks but I had a great time regardless. Even got a nice pic next to the Evander Holyfield statue while someone yelled in the background "Dirty a$$ mofo. That's why Mike bit your ear off in the first place!!" Gotta love the A lol

Easily accessible via the MARTA, get off at CNN center. Easy getting through security - my pepper spray was retained but obviously not marijuana as there was a lot of smoking in my seated section. The food selection was blah with high prices ... nothing compared to the Mercedes Benz stadium. Seats were easy to find, show started timely, arena was clean. Exiting was easy although there was a little confusion on which door but the security was trying to let people out without letting people in. This is not a stadium where you should book nose bleed seats .... These seats are REALLY high. I think the 100s section is the perfect for stage view.

Came for the Childish Gambino concert!! and it was great! I'm not sure if it was because it was in Labor Day or what but there wasn't many places to get food and for me being vegan, that was a bit disheartening. I assumed the pretzel was vegan . The drink was good, but obviously expensive lol. Parking can be crazy, so I suggest paying for it way in advance using spot hero (app). In fact, I use it for everything possible for parking. Parking wasn't bad even with the app reservation. Also security was perfect. Will come back!

We went to see the Atlanta vs Boston basketball match, and this was our first time here. The stadium is HUGE with amazing seats. The seat placement are done so smartly, that no matter how high you are seating, you'd almost always have a clear view of the court. They have plenty food options, with bottomless soda facilities. We really enjoyed the game at this stadium.

First time here! We got tickets for the Atlanta Dream to finally come see Caitlin Clark play for the WNBA. We drove up from Pensacola, FL and arrived about an hour before the game. Fortunately we found a hotel close enough to walk to the game. Security was adequate and still got through the line pretty quickly. The first thing I noticed was the great food and drink options that they have all around. Our seats were fantastic with a great view. All of the staff were very helpful as we needed assurance of where are seats were. Looking forward to attending more events.

My experience in ATL was whole when i attended the Playboi Carti Tour at the State Farm Arena Very clean inside and beautiful on the out. Food was yummy and cheap. $3 For a batch of fries, $2 for a bottle of water.. only downside was you weren't allowed to keep your cap and needed exact cash. But the arena is HUGE! Safety measures were made. Loved it

If you have never been to an NBA Game (or never been to any event at State Farm Arena), put it on your bucket list! I recently attended my first event here (a Hawks game), and was blown away by everything I saw. I'm so used to local college football or baseball where it is pretty barebones on the extras, when it comes to video/audio, and half-time entertainment. This game had fire spurts coming out from the scoreboard, a ballerina dance (we were there this past Christmas Eve), and the cheerleaders, stunt crew, and dancers who were definitely pros and kept the excitement going the entire time. There's also a shop (of course) at the arena where you can pick up a jersey or hat for the game. It will not be cheap, don't get me wrong, but some of the items you can only get at that shop in the arena, so don't pass it up. The production value is insane at State Farm Arena. There's not a bad spot in the whole place, and the seats are even comfortable (for arena seating). If you're in Atlanta, don't miss a game or show here!

This was my first concert ever out of state (sorry NJ, I don't really count your shows). I headed down to Atlanta to see John Mayers solo tour. The arena is awesome with parking away from the actual venue, which I expect in a big city. After a short walk we entered with ease (security was super quick). Sitting at our seats and looking around, it looked like there wasn't a bad seat in the house. Every person who helped at the concession stands were so friendly and hospitable. Also there a Zac Brown Band food section, so cool! Unfortunately we just came from a huge dinner so we only partook in drinks. Looks like I'll be flying down a lot more to see shows. Especially since the tickets were cheaper than going to MSG.

Came here for Chris brown concert - now I haven't been in a couple years so I figured I'd get the green lot parking ( or whatever color is directly connected to the arena ) It was a little confusing how to get there there was no signs so I just followed other cars. It was lit up and there was plenty of parking. You walk up 3 flights of stairs to walk across right to the arena. Of course super clean plenty of places to eat. Plenty of ppl to direct you. Of course it's expensive but worth it ! Def had a good smooth experience

Over the years I have been to this arena several times dating back to when it was called Phillips Arena. I went here in July and October to see Erykah Badu and Kirk Franklin. I saw in section 117 Handicap and also in 222 Handicap. I have bad knees but I don't let that stop me from going places. There is always a line line outside on Centennial parkway to get in the place but it always goes fast. This time around when I got to the entrance I asked the attendant did they have a handicap entrance. He asked me did I need wheelchair service. I said yes. I didn't even know they offer this service. An attendant put me in a wheelchair, scanned me through security and literally pushed me to my seat. I enjoyed the show immensely. At a certain time before the show was over. Another attendant notified me that he would be taking me to the door of my choice when I was ready to leave. What?? I didn't even know that this was an option. I was totally surprised that I would not have to go find an attendant. He was he was even nice enough to let me use the restroom before he took me to the door. State Farm this is A class service. One other thing to mention the concessions take cards only and you get a discount if you use a Chase card.

Meh...... nice building with decent sounds and sight lines but the food options were terrible. Basically hot dogs and french fries everywhere. I caught a Hawks game and chose to walk around looking at the banners, sipping an IPA just getting a feel of the place.

I came here for Megan thee Stallion's Hot Girl Summer Tour! I'm so glad the air was fixed after the fiasco that was the weekend of 5/31-6/1. The view from section 115, row S was fantastic. The venue was easily accessible but the nearby streets were blocked off. Restrooms were clean for the most part and Dasani water was $6. The only thing I HATE about Stae Farm Arena is that if you buy a bottle of water, they remove the cap. SIMPLY BAN OUTSIDE BEVERAGES, PLEASE. I hate that people can cough on my open water bottles or sneeze nearby and have particles go in. It is not sanitary. Megan is a fantastic performer and I hope she comes back!

I've been here countless times. I forgot to review. First time ever years ago I drove here and paid for vip parking I don't know. I couldn't find my parking spot at the time either. I now park at Avondale Station catch the subway train get off at World Congress Center and I'm there. On 9/8/2024 I went to see Buju Banton for the first time great show in experience. I went by myself so I don't have any pics to post. I didn't take any. Also I'm not going to let any one try to take pics with my phone and try to get money from cash app.

We attended a Hawks v Celtics game last night and had an amazing experience! Apart from the game (which went into overtime, with Hawks winning) the stadium was very well constructed. We were in the upper deck (223) yet the views were impeccable! The stadium seating was done to perfection with no chance of anyone blocking your view. The giant screen hanging from the ceiling in the middle was also convenient to catch glimpse of some recaps. The food however was overly expensive as you'd expect. Bottomless soda was 8.50, a pretzel was 7.50 and bottomless popcorn 8.50 again. These prices are absolutely insane! However you can get a 20% discount if you pay with a chase chredit/debit card. We parked a few blocks over across from the westin and were able to get in and out of the stadium very quickly without any issues

It was my first time visiting this arena for a basketball game. Depending where your seats are, there's lot of walking but our comfy lounge like seats were really nice and well worth the walk. The seats were equipped with outlets to charge your phone and very comfortable. The buffet of food was awesome!! I didn't have much expectation for quality but little did I know. The sliced steak was restaurant quality. The best experience ever at a game.

I was so excited about a game of Houston Rockets vs Atlanta Hawks. I used a CNN food court entrance. A lot of people were waiting. The bag check was easy. They could let me in. The arena was huge. It looked bigger than the Toyota Center in Houston TX. The game was super good. I was a minority because I was a Rockets fan. I had to hide my Identity. Sadly, Rockets lost. It was okay. We will win the next game. This arena is super good. When you are in Atlanta, you can find some events, so please visit here!

I have been to several events at this venue, and it's been okay for the most part. The seats are really close together, and the food is pricey for very average food. But I guess that's the norm at large concert venues. I would attend another event here.

Seeing the Hawks play was amazing! The atmosphere was amazing. None of the lines were long to anything. My only complaint would be that one of the refill drink stations was pumping out flat soda.

Everyone was so nice! I recently went to a hawks game and had so much fun. A friend of mine holds season tickets and invited me to go. The game was on a Monday with a steer town of 7:30pm. We parked in a lot fairly close to the stadium. It's my understanding that the lot is $50 on game day. It only took us about 5 minutes to walk to the entrance. We had to walk through a metal detector and my purse was placed through a scanner. This process went by quickly. Once in the door our tickets were scanned and we were all set to go. Our tickets were in the lower level and included access to the Harrah s lounge. This area is located on the lower floor and has unlimited food and drinks ( wine and beer only for alcoholic options). They offer a hot bae (options vary depending on the night) , a pizza station, a hotdog station, a salad station and a dessert station. They even offer complimentary popcorn that is bagged up so you can easily take it to your seat. After enjoying the lounge we went to our seats to enjoy the game. The staff in the stadium area were friendly and seem to enjoy their jobs! Overall, the arena did not disappoint. I look forward to returning for another game and/or a concert! The staff throughout the stadium were so friendly. I really enjoyed engaging with them.

Went here for a bad blood WWE. It was OK except the entry was delayed a half an hour and in the heat outside that wasn't fun.

The State Farm Arena was formerly the Philips Arena (home of the Thrashers and Hawks). You can find this near CNN and Centennial Park at 1 State Farm Drive Atlanta, Georgia 30303. There's plenty of paid parking nearby - during events CNN Center parking is $70 (2023), conveniently MARTA stops and opens up right into the arena - I'd recommend taking the train if you can. I've been to the arena several times for Hawks games back when it was Philips and most recently to attend two concerts, Smashing Pumpkins/Jane's Addiction and Bruce Springsteen with the E. Street Band. The former was about 70% filled so the top-most tier and the seating behind the stage were closed, but for Springsteen the arena was totally packed with ground floor standing room before the stage and temp seating towards the back. The sound quality for an arena is top-notch and there's really not a bad seat to be had (well, some would argue behind the stage but you can still watch the action via large, well placed monitors). During both of my most recent visits the lighting was exceptional and the sound clear, loud and inviting. Of course it needs to be as the attendees are usually standing and really getting into the performances. The building provides access via several gates at several levels with access via stairs. There's food and drink from several vendors as you walk around with everything from fairly reasonable (nachos and tacos) to more expensive. Of course it's all relative with the general prices much higher than a typical restaurant, but that seems to be the trend at Arena and Auditorium events. Springsteen attendees were a more mature crowd with fewer drunks and better behavior than what I experienced at the Pumpkins show, but that's to be expected. In general I had a great time at both shows.

I love this arena. Came here for a game and also attended a networking event. They have a bar/club area below section 118. We had the networking 3 hours before the game so the public could not come in yet. We could only get drinks. 2 hours before the game, the public could come in and food was being served. You can drive to the arena because their is plenty of parking garages. There are designated ride sharing locations for pick up and drop off. The MARTA runs here. So this place makes it easy to get here. This place has a large amount of bars and eateries. The prices are very affordable. This makes it easy to bring the entire family.

I am a big basketball fan so I wanted to visit State Farm Arena to see a Hawks game. It located right next to the CNN Center. We were able to go in easily. This is a typical stadium with overpriced food and drink options. We took the stairs to the second level to find our seats. The view was decent for the Hawks game. You get to see everything on the big tv screen. Everything was typical of a regular stadium. I was surprised they sell a large amount of standing room only tickets. I don't know if I would be able to stand and watch an entire basketball game. I did like the different events going on during halftime and timeouts. Gucci Mane was doing a performance which was very cool. It definitely was an ATL experience.

Saw Queen with Adam Lambert here last night. The show was phenomenal and my seats turned out great due to the staging. Sound quality and lighting were amazing. Staff were helpful and plentiful. There are a LOT of restrooms! I had an empty water bottle confiscated, which I wasn't happy about. I have medical issues and need to drink a lot of water so planned on refilling it at water fountains. I can't afford $4-6 bottled water 2-3 times a night, especially when I need to take meds. Other than that I had an enjoyable time and the pre-event emails sent actually contained useful information, including reduced parking rates.

Music takes me to most cities in America. Over the years and countless visits to Atlanta, I've grown to love this city. It's definitely my favorite city in the south. On my most recent visit, Blackpink pulled me there(Duh). I saw them in 2019 at a much smaller venue. This time they played the larger State Farm Arena for two nights(of which I attended both). Going from a hockey arena to the NBA-caliber State Farm Arena was quite a shock. I know the girls have come a long way but the fanbase has increased 10 fold. They're bordering on a BTS fanbase. BTS usually plays football stadiums now for multiple nights. I suspect that's the next move for Blackpink. I don't watch basketball but I always love arenas that were built for the NBA. They're always top-notch. State Farm was a nice arena but I did feel that it needed a refresh of some sort. Maybe a fresh paint job. New lights in the concourse. You could tell it was an older arena because it didn't have that pop. I wish I could've had food here but I really had to get in the merch line to ensure I'd be able to pick up my merch and make it to my seat. If you've been to a kpop concert, you know how anxiety-inducing it can be to stand in the merch line. Always super long... and you have many other fans buying 1 of everything in front of you... I just want my tour shirts. There were a few merch areas set up around the arena... all of them with huge lines. It went smoother than I thought. I was surprised! It might've been from some of the staff making sure people kept moving. Making it to my seat was easy. The staff was available but not needed. They were everywhere! They even were lined up to wave to us goodbye... different but kind of funny. I also met some cool people sitting around me including a few people that were seeing them for the first time. I love watching first-timers. I talked to this one girl from Brazil before the show. She was so happy to be there and to be able to see another of her favorites. She mentioned how acts just don't come to Brazil... or much of South America in general. Blinks are the best when it comes to making new friends. Parking - There are plenty of garages in the immediate area. Alongside the State Farm Arena are the NFL stadium and Olympic Park so they have ample parking available. If you do stay in a closeby hotel, I'd suggest walking in a group back. If there's no group around, take an Uber. I've never felt unsafe in Atlanta but after dark... I don't think I'd walk alone from one of these arenas back to a downtown hotel. The sound was good but it also felt like it needed an upgrade too. Tough to explain but there were definitely sound issues at a few specific points throughout both shows. The last thing I'd suggest is if you're near here before the event, maybe check to see where all the entrances are located. Kpop concert... so the VIP lines started early in the morning. There was a shorter line to an entrance on the lower level. That particular entrance was hidden and connected to one of the garages. You never would've known it was there if you weren't looking for it. If an act comes to this arena that you want to see, make the trip. There's not a bad seat in the place.

Outside of the parking debacle, we had an amazing experience last night seeing Anita Baker and Babyface! It was so easy getting in and out of the venue, getting through security was a breeze, we even received an email to explain what was and wasn't allowed. Nice touch State Farm! The ladies restrooms were very well maintained & consistently tended to, literally no complaints. And that darn Anita B., bayyyyybayyyy! Still matchless performance! She did a phenomenal performance! Babyface was outstanding too, just a solid show! And Atlanta's very own, Usher made an appearance, as did Jermaine Dupree. Very nice Love Day show.

I seen TOMORROWXTOGETHER here since they wasnt able to come to Charlotte this year and I promised myself barricade so here I am! I loved it so much! I also met Yeonjun but we wont talk about that for privacy of me and the artist mentioned... Anyways highly recommend this venue if not the Spectrum center! Hopefully next tour will be seated anddd at The Mercedes Benz stadium cause they deserve all the love! I hope I can get barricade again it was fun!

Love State Farm for concerts. Parking isn't always the best, but the arena is always nice. Usually sit in 114/115/116 area. Old Lady Gang is my favorite. Can't remember pizza place, but it's good. Attended a basketball game and concert & sat in 200s section; food good. Only way I will sit up there again is if I HAVE to see someone & it would HAVE to be in the VERY front.

I love attending games in this arena. This was my third and I came with a friend. We sat in section 202 because I usually sit in this area due to how comfortable the seats are! Last year, I attended a Maverick city concert and was much closer to the floor and didn't have the same comfort as I do in 201-205. The only downside is if there are any freebies falling from the sky or being thrown there is a small chance of you getting any of them. My highlight was me getting a Hawks towel they laid in the seat for us prior to the game starting. I'm so excited about this towel and look to use it for inspiration for my classroom design next year. The game atmosphere is top tier for a friends or family night. The music is great, food smells lovely, and the other spectators are generally positive when I attend. The bathroom was clean and accessible to reach when I needed. The seats were close to the escalator so I could quickly exit after the game. Parking in general can be expensive on game day unless you park walking distance from the arena. So I suggest you buy ahead of time to avoid parking issues and missing out on whatever event you're attending here.

Worst experience ever........we came here for the HBCU battle of the bands. As parents traveling with the students we have to bring a medical bag. The rules online say you can bring a medical bag into the arena with students/children. I was stopped at the entrance and told by an employee that I couldn't bring the bag inside; in spite of what their rules say online for bringing bags inside. The employee actually said she didn't know the policy or have it to read. She had the AUDACITY to tell me they were going to let me bring the bag in this one time as a courtesy. Not because the rules actually say medical bags are allowed, but because she was being nice. Ridiculous!!!! As we were actually walking in another employee said I should have told her I was there with the students and I reminded her that I did. The people at the front gate are clueless as to their own rules and rude.

Let's go Hawks! This arena is home to the NBA Atlanta Hawks and we come on a regular basis. From "our section", 222, we can clearly see the full game unfold easily, and have clear view of Hawks on court and other games that night. Some of the other stats are a little bit more difficult to see... we manage. It's nice to have Wi-Fi during the game and sometimes the aircrew comes up to give us merch. What we don't get - the Chick-fil-A parachute cows... and that's sad... even Harry the Hawk sometimes manages to shoot us a T-shirt if motivated. Best food in the arena (for me) is old lady gang burger or gumbo. For drinks, I love my (fluorescent) mango daiquiri... Bathrooms are usually clean and there are enough to not have a massive line for the women's. Been to a few concerts as well, and it's always been a good experience. We go and come back with MARTA, sometimes it's a bit of a wait to leave, as there are fewer trains after 21h.

I got a chance to visit the State Farm Arena as I attended the Xscape concert. The Arena had multiple food options and drink stations. Our seats were amazing and so was the sound. I definitely recommend any of Kandi spots to eat (OLG and Blaze) The wings are EVERYTHING. The wings are 8 million dollars for 5 but definitely worth it lol. The only reason I give 4 out of 5 stars is because the parking can be your worst nightmare if you don't pick the right lot. The stadium has like 3 different lots. It seems like the parking right next to the stadium is the best (Can't remember the name of that lot) but I will be parking there from now on... Cause I ended up parking in the parking lot right across the street from the stadium which had us in some type of dungeon walking over crack pipes, pads and used diapers.

State Farm Arena is great. State Farm Parking is awful. I believe one impacts the other. Ok, so if I pay tons of money for a ticket, then why do I have to pay tons of money for parking. The Park Mobile/State Farm agreement is too complex. It should be simpler. My suggestion is during the process of buying a ticket, let's say a Janet Jackson or Usher concert, arenas such as State Farm should offer the consumer an option to pay for parking at lots near the arena like the Fox Atlanta in the purchase process. Currently if you search in advance for parking and it's over 6 months, the State Farm app just rewinds you back to other events that are more current. There is nothing for the biggest concert - Usher. I am not feeling that. Maybe, I am the only person that finds this a problem. Even Lakewood/Cellaris with its nightmare exit parking experience does a better job of at least offering parking in advance. I know State Farm Arena can do better. Suggestion - give folks that need parking for an upcoming concert the option to buy right away through Ticketmaster and connect it with Park Mobile. Plain and simple.

Seating was terrible! Seats wayyyyy to close together and I'm petite and I had zero leg room. Couldn't get comfortable from sitting in same position for three hours. Get to know your neighbor. And hope they have good breath! Cup holder was nice but in a crappy spot. Air conditioning was comfortable. Multiple blue lights that face the crowd were extremely bright. Leaving the parking garage was a nightmare took over an hour to get out and on to main road. Need more than one single exit. Won't be returning, too bad of an experience that I'd rather not go through again. Sebastian was fantastic! No complaints there. Will be using other venues in the future just not this one.

went to Ateez world tour back in 2022 in Atlanta It's was amazing, awesome, and the best concert ever! ATEEZ Forever!!!

State Farm Arena is a great place for sports/concerts & volunteer work. I went for D9 night to watch the Hawks play the Knicks. I had great seats, the workers are very friendly and get you to your seat with no problems. The food was good nothing special about it. I will definitely be back for a concert soon
