Airport.Jay Z is opening his 40/40 Club at the world's busiest airport. Spokeswoman
Victoria Hong of Jay Z partner Delaware North Companies says the sports bar portion
of the club opened May 21 for ticketed passengers at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International
Airport.
Airport concessions director Paul Brown says there are plans to create a VIP lounge
area of the club, separate from the sports bar on another floor. Brown says the lounge
is expected to open in the late fall. Rapper Jay Z opened his original 40/40 club in Manhattan
with business partner Juan Perez in 2003. The club has another location at the Barclays
Center in Brooklyn, New York. 40/40 was named after the rare feat among ballplayers
of hitting 40 homers and stealing 40 bases in one season.
