Home venues in Ticket Timeline's game data
The building the Thrashers called home in the attendance data Ticket Timeline uses—useful when an old ticket names Philips Arena from the Atlanta years.
- Final home: Philips Arena (1999–2011), Atlanta, GA — the Thrashers' only home. Hockey capacity was roughly 18,500.
Coverage in Ticket Timeline's game data starts in 1999, the year the Thrashers debuted as an NHL expansion franchise and Philips Arena opened.
If your ticket says Philips Arena, that is the Thrashers' only home. The building was renamed State Farm Arena in 2018, after the franchise had already left Atlanta—so a State Farm Arena ticket is not a Thrashers game.
Atlanta's first NHL team, the Flames, left for Calgary in 1980. The Thrashers were a 1999 expansion club, not a continuation of the Flames. In 2011 the franchise relocated and became the current Winnipeg Jets. A separate original Winnipeg Jets (1979–1996) had already moved to Arizona; the Jets name was reused, but those are two different franchises. Thrashers nights stay in this archive; Winnipeg nights belong on the Jets page. Ilya Kovalchuk, Dany Heatley, and Marian Hossa were the names most associated with those Atlanta seasons.
The Atlanta Thrashers hosted NHL games at Philips Arena in Atlanta, GA, USA, from 1999 to 2011. Dates for those nights are anchored in Eastern time. The building list above is what Ticket Timeline uses when an older ticket names Philips Arena.
