The Hawks did sell out. Where is all this bogus info coming from?


They had a hard time selling out until the morning of the game.. not exactly "going out on a limb" to suggest that it wasn't IMO

Well when I post stuff like that I usually like to check my facts. There were a few hundred tix available the day of the game. Atlanta is an awful sports town and that is why the game wasn't sold out earlier.

But to just come on here and make stuff up because you saw a few empty seats isn't fair.

What does "going out on a limb" have to do with it? He's not making a prediction? When you post stuff like that, I feel it's important to get your facts straight.

During the Magic/Raps game one of the commentators mentioned that it wasn't a sellout and Atlanta fans were more excited about the NFL Draft and Matt Ryan. Thats where I got my info from. I know its not exactly the best source and I apologize

Actually I recall hearing that as well.... maybe they announced the sellout during the game, and not before, thus the late news?

No need to apologize it's not a big deal. I just wanted to set the record straight that we did sell out the game (for once).

How convenient that the clocks came on after the Hawks had a significant lead.
