Fans appreciate open feel of Hawks’ new home

From the outside, the Atlanta Hawks’ arena may look about the same.

But inside is a completely different story. Just ask BJ Woods of Powder Springs

“You walk in here and it feels brand new,” said a smiling Woods. “It’s open. It’s spacious. It’s fresh.”

Woods, his wife, Marleny, and their son Austin, who is 20, visited State Farm Arena during the open house on Saturday, among the first to arrive to check out the Hawks’ new home.

“We toured it all, and everything is so aesthetically pleasing from the re-purposed wood, and it’s so beautiful,” said Woods.
