“The fans’ support during our home games this season has been amazing, and we are truly grateful for their support all season long,” said Hawks’ Chief Marketing Officer Melissa Proctor. “Fan Appreciation Night is one of many ways that we can give back to our fans that have continued to show their support as we continue to create home-court advantage at State Farm Arena.”
One of the featured giveaways is a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) that will be available exclusively to fans in attendance at Wednesday night’s game. The ‘Forever 404’ NFT features ‘Spirit the Hawk’ and a digital commemorative ticket. The digital commemorative ticket will be distributed at random and has different tiers of rarity, which are Starter, All-Star, MVP, and Legend. Earlier this month, the Hawks launched its first iteration of NFTs in collaboration with Atlanta-based GigLabs, with the “Harry the Hawk” collection.
