March 17, 200818 yr I heard Phillips Arena was fine other than a little damage on the outside. I don't think it damaged the arena at all. Also heard the SEC is working on refunding tickets ASAP... This was from the Phillips Arena website Philips Arena Cancels Winter Jam Spectacular Concert Today Arena helps with cleanup taking place in downtown area In an effort to help with the extensive cleanup being conducted in the downtown Atlanta area from last night’s severe weather, Philips Arena has announced that the Winter Jam Spectacular concert scheduled for March 14, 2008 has been canceled. Special Notes for this Event Philips Arena escaped any structural damage from the storm, the decision to cancel this evenings event was based on the estimated 18,000 thousand people coming downtown during the clean up of debris throughout the area. With the tour ending tomorrow night in Nashville, there will not be an opportunity to reschedule the concert.
March 17, 200818 yr While the whole thing was a little disappointing to me here in KY, I'm sure things were done as they should have been in Atl. It was such a scary thing to watch on tv, I can't imagine what it was like being there. Thanks for your story..and I'm glad you are safe!

Enjoy the State Tournament this week. Nice to meet you too. I guess that is another of the bright moments of the weekend. Always good to meet a fellow BGP'er.
