State Farm Arena, formerly known as Philips Arena, has been home to the Atlanta Hawks since 1999. The arena was formerly home to the NHL’s Atlanta Thrashers (now the Winnipeg Jets), and is one of the busiest arenas in North America. Following a recent $200 million renovation, State Farm Arena is now one of the most modern arenas in the NBA, and has excellent proximity to all downtown Atlanta has to offer. Our staff wanted to provide a thorough breakdown of the State Farm Arena seating chart to help basketball fans decide where to sit before purchasing their Atlanta Hawks tickets.
Where To Sit At State Farm Arena
State Farm Arena’s layout was drastically changed during the most recent renovation.
Previously, one entire side of the arena consisted of luxury suites and was off limits to regular fans. The arena now has a much more symmetrical design with a lower level, upper level, and premium seating on the second tier. We’ll begin by discussing the lower level seats.
Lower Level

The lower level seats at State Farm Arena consist of sections 101 through 122. The rows for the lower level sections are lettered in an extremely unorthodox manner. It’s important to note that triple-lettered rows will be located closest to the court, followed by double-lettered rows. The lower level sections behind the baskets will have single-lettered rows. Rows U or X are the last rows in most lower level sections at State Farm Arena. There are nine courtside sections at State Farm Arena. When looking at the State Farm Arena seating chart, these sections are labeled Floor 1 through Floor 9.
The Atlanta Hawks’ bench is located in front of section 118. The visiting team’s bench is located in front of section 120. The Atlanta Hawks’ player tunnel is located near sections 101 and 122. The visiting team’s tunnel at State Farm Arena is located near sections 111 and 112.
