ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Hawks today released a new official team mobile application, providing users with the first custom emoji keyboard in professional sports, as well as special access to seat upgrades and traffic alerts around Philips Arena. Users of the new app will also be able to view team highlights and stats, follow the club’s social media channels and compete for chances to win prizes via the app’s “Hawks High Flyers” contest for each Hawks game.
“Connecting with our fans is extremely important and our new app and keyboard will allow us to build an innovative bridge to reach tech-savvy Hawks supporters, giving them around-the-clock access to team-related information at their fingertips,” said Hawks CEO Steve Koonin.
