Who all is going to the NBA Draft party at Philips

[DavidSomerset]

I'll be there...I'm just about the only real Hawks fan out of my friends, but hopefully I can round up a few buddies to make it.

Anyone else planning on going?

[HawksFan87]

I would go, but if we make a bad pick... I might do something I would regret.....

I feel the same way.

This would be my reaction if we Draft Branden Wright.

I have never seen that before. That was hilarious. I loved it when he crawled up to the pitchers mound and tossed the 'gernade'.

[BossTweed]

I'm planning on going. I've never been to one before though. Anyone know if you can sit anywhere you want? We should all try to sit in the same section, that way we can console each other when he picks B. Wright.

I've been before, and will likely go this year.

There really isn't seating, as all of the action is congregating at "The Philips Experience" on the middle level. Still, I'd like to meet some more Squawkers.

I've been before, when they drafted Doug Edwards (Lenny's first year), Adam Keefe (a near-riot almost took place that night), Dermarr Johnson (no comment), and when they traded for Shareef, drafted Jamal Tinsley only to trade him, and passed on a young Tony Parker (Jason Terry and Nique was there; met them both).

Come to think about it, I might not go considering how bad things have gone every time I've shown up. Forget it, I'm staying home...

[Johnnybravo4]

I have gone every year since we drafted JT and Glover. The worst was when they had it at the ESPN Zone and you had to have an invite to get in.

I will be there with the sign that says YI is for MI!

[coachx]

I'll be on a cruise paying $$$ for minutes on the internet to see who we actually draft. (once we reach a port)

First draft I won't be able to see live ever. Oh, well.

[Spiral]

I think I will... I haven't made up my mind yet.

As much as I like going, there is also a part of me that enjoys being able to watch everything from the comfort of home. More information available with tv and internet, no crowd, I don't have to pay to park in my own driveway, etc...

[KB21]

I can't believe yall haven't seen Phillip Wellman's tirade. For a while there, it's all they would show on ESPN and CNN.

[Wurider05]

Is it free?

[slap]

It is free. I went last year, and it was fun, but the crowd wasn't happy with SW. 790 and the Hawks reps are at the Philips experience with most of the people. They let you sit in the arena, though, if you prefer, and watch it on the big screen. I'll be going this year again.

If you are a STH, they'll send you a free parking voucher.

[ncthompson11]

Lol the braves managers are something else. Cox nearing the all time ejection record and now this minor league manager. Makes me proud.

[shug94]

I will be watching the draft updates from home on the internet.

I would come to phillips, but it's a long way from Australia to Georgia.

[Iman]

I've been to whatever type party the Hawks have for the draft most every year since I think a few yrs before Alan Henderson was drafted. Last year was by far the biggest but actually one of my least favorite. I liked it when it was small with mostly just sports radio people and the really die hard fans.

Btw, I signed up for a half season ticket package (2seats) for the first row/rail of section 119. I wanted the better seats but wont be able to make it to that many games. If anyone wants to somewhat split the package with me, leave a message for me on this site plz.
