Hawks unveil new Arena plans.

Philips Arena, home of the Atlanta Hawks, is getting a makeover this off-season and today the team has revealed concept images of what fans can expect at their next Hawks game.

For starters, the Hawks will be the first NBA team to have a courtside bar, which will be situated behind the basket.

Additionally, the renovated Philips Arena includes a four-chair barbershop with a view of the court, as part of a partnership with Killer Mike, and two "Swing Suites" that come equipped with Topgolf simulators.

On top of all that, the Hawks have partnered with Southern Ground and Zac Brown for a social club in the new arena.

The Hawks will reportedly pay $50 million of the $192.5 million project cost, with the rest covered by the city of Atlanta. Construction is already underway and is due to finish during the 2018-2019 season.
