Philips Arena

[bryanyd]

Why didn't they just move the tourney to the philips arena which is right next door and holds a whole lot more people than GT. I haven't even heard anyone mention this as a possibility.:ermm:

If you'd have read the thread, you'd see people DID mention it, then people researched it and found out Phillips Arena is already booked.

Good point. It just probably didn't occur to anybody in the SEC, even when they were walking right by it on the way home last night. It's probably sitting there right now, completely safe, empty, with the basketball court set up.

Not to mention...since PA is right next door...it was severely damaged too....I'm not trying to sound like a jerk...but have you gone on line to see the damage the tornado caused in the area?

Shan Foster is lying on his back at mid-court crying, and Kevin Stallings is being d-bag to some poor peanut vendor

even watching sportscenter last night they showed that Phillips Arena had some damage to it aswell

I was reading on espn that the hawks continued their game and there wasn't any damage to the arena

Why are you asking me? I clearly understand the situation, whereas the OP does not.

there probably wasn't any serve damage, but watching the highlights from the game they showed part of the ceiling coming off

The concert at Philips tonight was canceled, too.

. . . because sending 25,000 people into a disaster area to watch a basketball game makes perfect sense.

But if they all just pick up 2 pieces of debris. Two birds, one stone.

sorry...that wasn't intended to you [intended for byranyd]...I was trying to back you up...but when I just re-read it...I see why you would ask that

What part of disaster area/already booked do you not get?

They also continued the game at the Georgia Dome...what's your point?
