The frick you need a barbershop at a basketball arena for? And I don't like the idea of taking fans from right behind the baskets..just going to make the arena more corporate and even less intimidating.

Sad really. Also, why would I go to a basketball game to virtually hit a golf ball.
That's the equivalent of going to a strip club and playing whack a mole.

Ehh, that one doesn't bother me as bad because those are people who arent there to watch the game anyway. It's business schmoozers.

Club behind the court - cool to me
Barbershop - makes no sense
Virtual golf - doesn't matter

I've been at Atlanta sports fan my whole life. Yet they do some of the stupidest things I've ever seen. This is just another example. Disappointed but not surprised.

You know what would be really cool in Philips Arena?

An honest-to-God NHL-caliber hockey team. Y'know, just to see how it would do.

A barber shop seems a bit much....


Would it even be open during the offseason?

Agreed. But will normal food and drink prices be enough to get people to buy season tickets?
