I still don’t understand the idea behind this area. Who’s showing up to watch Jordan Poole drop 40 in a loss from the Hennessy Loft?

This may be our peak as a franchise.

I’m guessing the ginger ale lofts are on the other side of the court?

It makes sense from a business stand point. Why have a free access bar area there for the court side patrons to use when you can instead add tables and sell more tickets.
From what is in my opinion a common sense point of view, it is incredibly stupid. They’ve essentially added a bunch of expensive tables with a partially obstructed view due to the goal post. I know the people in these seats likely are not there to watch the game, but it is still a partially obstructed view, with a $75,000 price tag.
I like that they are trying to do some unique things with the arena, but this just seems like a miss. I have season tickets a few rows up from here so I’ll be curious to watch and see how these go.

After going to a bunch of games at the Mercedes Benz here in Atlanta, I feel like the concept of taking premier seats and replacing them with floor level boxes is getting out of hand.
That said, a venue that hosts the SEC championship, opening weekend CFB games, and two different types of football may be able to justify it.
