Photos: What future Hawks games at Philips Arena will be like

Construction has begun at Philips Arena as the home of the Atlanta Hawks is completely transformed into a new fan-focused sports and entertainment venue.

Watching a game at the arena will be different than any other building with a scoreboard 3-times the size of the current scoreboard, 4 unique sponsor pavilions with feature monster size screens, new concourse design and improved food/drink experience.

The $192.5 million transformation will result in a completely NEW Arena under the existing roof. The new arena is inspired by the Hawks mantra âTrue to Atlantaâ and the connectivity of the Beltline. (Photo provided by The Atlanta Hawks Basketball Club)

The arena will boast a 1st-of-its-kind in the NBA, a new Courtside Club and Hawks Bar on the arena floor. (Photo provided by The Atlanta Hawks Basketball Club)

Atlantaâs own rapper, actor and activist Killer Mike will add to his collection of SWAG (Shave, Wash & Groom) Shops by opening a SWAG Shop in the arena. The 4-chair barber will shop give fans a chance to get a shave or haircut while watching the game live. (Photo provided by The Atlanta Hawks Basketball Club)

Another arena first, the transformed Hawks arena will now host two Topgolf Swing Suites inside the new Hawks Meeting and Conference Center. Each Topgolf Swing Suite will feature two Topgolf simulators, HDTVs and lounge seating inside a high-end suite with luxury amenities that sport a view into the arena bowl. Fans in the conference center can play Topgolf before, during and after our world-class events. (Photo provided by The Atlanta Hawks Basketball Club)
