To that end, the club’s famous lemon pepper wings — both the ones named after three-time NBA Sixth Man of the Year Lou Williams and the “regular” version — will be on sale, along with a special version of the Hawks’ Peachtree City Edition hoodies.

T.I. will perform at halftime.

That was 100 percent of how we landed where we did. So, dancers, no, but they talked extensively in the documentary about the music being a big part of the experience and culture.”
