The Hawks will show off their renovated and renamed arena to the public for the first time with an open-house event Saturday.
State Farm Arena, formerly known as Philips Arena, will open its doors after being closed since April for the last and largest phase of a $192.5 million makeover.
More than 750 workers have been on the job daily this week in a final sprint to get the building ready for its unveiling. As of Wednesday, walls were being painted, fixtures and furnishings were being installed, finishing touches were being applied to the center-hung video board and construction cleanup remained to be done in parts of the building.
