INTERVIEW REQUESTS: When requesting interviews with members of the Hawks coaching staff, players or other members of the organization, please contact the Hawks PR department. LOCKER ROOMS: The team locker rooms are located on the service level of Philips Arena, in the hallways behind the team bench areas. NBA media regulations govern the accessibility to the locker rooms prior to games. In accordance with NBA policy, both the Hawks and visiting team locker rooms will be open 75 minutes prior to game time and closed 45 minutes prior to game time. Locker rooms will re-open following a mandatory 10-minute cooling-off period after the game. NO AUTOGRAPHS ARE ALLOWED DURING MEDIA ACCESS PERIODS. MEDIA DINING: For the 2017 NBA Playoffs, the media dining location is the Philips Experience, located on the fourth floor. Media should exit the practice court through the double doors at the far end, turn left up the ramp and take the elevator on the right to level four. MEDIA ENTRANCE: Follow the same directions to Philips Arena below, and the entrance is on Baker Street (located on the right) before you get to Media Parking Lot A. The press room is located directly on the right after you enter the media doors.

The Media Workroom will be open two-and-a-half hours prior to game time, at halftime and following the game.

We ask that professional and courteous consideration be given to the media who are working each game in the work areas.

PHOTOGRAPHERS AND VIDEOGRAPHERS: Credentialed photographers must sit in designated positions. Photographers will not be allowed to sit on the sidelines at Philips Arena, unless there is prior approval from the PR Department. No photography of any Hawks game shall be released to any individual other than the entity for whom the pass was issued and subject to the rules governing such use as described on the reverse side of the credential. Any variation to this policy will result in forfeiture of future credentials. Single- game photographer and videographer credentials will be issued on a space available basis.
