A Slam Dunk: Free Ga. 400 Tolls Tuesday Morning, Thanks to Hawks

From Patch Reports

To spread goodwill after the NBA season's delay, the Atlanta Hawks are paying for Ga. 400 tolls Tuesday morning.

The Hawks will pick up the tab for southbound and northbound tolls from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. Tuesday, according to a news release. The NBA season was delayed when the owners locked out players, leading to a recent labor agreement and the opening of the season. All 50-cent, cashier and cruise card/Peach Pass lanes’ tolls will be paid by the Hawks.

Hawks legend and Basketball Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins will be at the toll booth in north Buckhead Tuesday morning handing out magnet game schedules and $50 gift cards that can be used toward purchasing tickets to Hawks home games at Philips Arena. Harry the Hawk and the Hawks cheerlesders will also be present.
 
The Hawks  will play their only home preseason game on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. against Charlotte. Atlanta Hawks’ owners will extend complimentary tickets to  kids under the age of 16 at the Philips Arena box office (up to four free tickets per paid adult).
 
Tickets for Hawks home games are on sale at www.hawks.com/tickets, the Philips Arena box office and all Ticketmaster locations, with no ticketing fees.
