LucastheThird Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 This is simply a thread wondering how often we Sqawkers actually go to the games to support our team. The thought just crossed my mind because I am buying a season membership with the Hawks and I wanted to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff_Man Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I live in Pennsylvania, so I don't really have the option until they go to Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTB Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I would go to every game if I were rich!...hell I'd buy all my fellow squawkers tickets to go with me if I was rich! However I live a good distance from Atlanta and I try to make it to 4 games a year if I CAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucastheThird Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I definitely understand the distance issue. I've only been close enough to go to games for about a year now. And I want to stress that I'm not trying to call anyone out on their true 'fanness' or whatever. Just a slow day at work and I'm bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted August 21, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Yeah, the funny thing about the Squawk is most of its members are out of state Hawks' fans. I go to the game when they are in Memphis and I try to make at least one home game a year. It's expensive for me though cause it's $150 in just gas for me to make it out to Atlanta.

Admin capstone21 Posted August 21, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I live in Tulsa so its not an option for me...I do drive down to OKC when the Hawks are in town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted August 21, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I'm a couple miles up the street and I only go about 10-15 times a year, playoff games included. It wouldn't be that much more, but I hate to forgo listening to Bob & Nique, plus the lulz that ensue on Squawkchat. ~lw3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 We go to about 8-10 games a year. They have to be Friday/weekend games. It's a family affair - food, fun, foam finger, popcorn, cotton candy and a Hawks souvenir for our now 6 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anxietyreigns Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I live on East TN. Been to 4 games in my life. Went to a home game vs Blazers back in March(a loss). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) I grew up in Miliwaukee and then Chicago until I was 23 years old. When I moved to Atlanta and lived there (1977 - 2008) I went to several games a year. Now that I've moved back to Chicago (in 2008) I go to one or two games a year to see the Hawks play (in Chicago or Milwaukee).

Premium Member Vol4ever Posted August 21, 2014 Premium Member Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I live in Chattanooga and its about 130 miles for me. I usually attend about 10 games a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted August 21, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 In Indiana so it is just a couple games a season when visiting family in Atlanta. (Indy is almost as far as Atlanta but no family). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthCydeRises Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Live in Middle Tennessee . . . I make about 5 - 10 games a year + at least 1 playoff game per round. At minimum, I try to at least attend one home game a month. I've attended one road game . . Memphis ( 2 years ago ). Easily one of the best games I've attended as a Hawks fan. Nothing like going on the road as an underdog, and knocking off a good team at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfHawk Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 I'm in the Gwinnett area (around 30 miles from Atlanta) and I try to make it out to ~5 games a season. Between going to school full time and working part time, I can't really find the time to attend more unfortunately. Once I finish my degree and get a real job, the Hawks have themselves a new season ticket holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rick Posted August 22, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 I've only been to seven games total (6 at Philips, 1 at MSG), but the Hawks are 7-0 in those games. Perhaps I should try and get to some more. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LamarHampton Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 7-0...Um, maybe we should all contribute to @Rick getting some season tickets, eh? I live in Atlanta and have been going to 5-10 games/yr, but just got my first season ticket package (half season so 21 games, 2 tix each game) and it comes out a lot cheaper to do the package deal, plus you get discounted playoff tickets. Lower bowl, about 10-12 rows up behind the Hawks bench. I need a giant afro wig and/or some Hawks wings and a cape so y`all can spot me on t.v.!

ATLSmith Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I live in the burbs and make it to about 4 to 5 regular season games a year (normally the home opener and a few others). I try to make it to one playoff game each round. Just difficult to get away with other commitments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member BrazilianHawk Posted August 25, 2014 Premium Member Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'll probably be in Miami @ November 14th when the Hawks face the Heat... in Atlanta. This sucks SO VERY MUCH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
