Why track State Farm Arena attendance?
If your stub says Philips Arena, that is this same downtown Atlanta building — not a different arena, and not State Farm Stadium in Glendale. State Farm Arena is the later printed name. Hawks nights belong on the Atlanta Hawks game tracker. A Philips Arena stub from 1999 on still belongs here. The Omni and the Georgia Dome were different buildings.
A Hawks stub from 2004 still says Philips Arena. A later one says State Farm Arena. Those are the same downtown Atlanta room. Ticket Timeline matches that rename, and keeps Omni and Georgia Dome basketball on those earlier buildings.
- Log Hawks home games you personally attended at this downtown Atlanta arena.
- Match tickets printed Philips Arena to this same venue.
- Keep Omni Coliseum and Georgia Dome stubs on those earlier Hawks homes—not mixed in as this building.
- Keep State Farm Stadium tickets on the Glendale football stadium—not this Atlanta arena.
- Import old stubs, spreadsheets, or Gmail confirmations instead of retyping every date.
