During the late 1980s and early 1990s, many cities starting building new state-of-the-art sporting venues for their NBA and/or NHL franchises, or in hopes of attaining one.these arenas has modern amenities for their high-end customers, such as luxury boxes, club seats, and large, posh club-level concourses; some even had practice facilities on-site. These attractions were extremely found in arenas constructed in the early 1970s when The Omni was built and led to its chief tenant, the Atlanta Hawks, being put in a aggressive disadvantage. The current arena operating manager in place, Ted Turner, wanted an expansile hockey team but it was told by the NHL.And with The Omni's faster-than-anticipated decline, led to a new venue being seriously considered. After much considerance of possible other sites both in Downtown Atlanta and in the suburbs,and it was decided that The Omni would be demolished, and a new structure built in the same location which was starting in 1997. This new coliseum would become the Philips Arena.
