Capacity
16,600
State Farm Arena's $192 million renovation transformed the seating layout into one of the most intimate in the NBA at just 16,600 seats. The reduced capacity means every seat feels closer to the court than the old Philips Arena layout. The arena has unique features like the Topgolf Lounge, a courtside club, and the Hawks Nest standing-room section. The three main levels are the 100-level lower bowl, 200-level mezzanine, and the upper sections.
