Georgia State Stadium is a college football stadium currently under construction in Atlanta, Georgia. The stadium will serve as the home of the Georgia State University Panthers football team starting in the 2017 season, replacing the Georgia Dome which had served as their home stadium from the program's inception in 2010 until 2016.
Georgia State Stadium was originally built for the 1996 Summer Olympics as Centennial Olympic Stadium. Following the 1996 Summer Paralympics, the Olympic Stadium was reconfigured as designed into the baseball-specific Turner Field, serving as the home of the Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball from 1997 until 2016. After the Braves' departure from Turner Field for SunTrust Park in Cobb County, Georgia State University acquired the former ballpark and its surrounding parking lots for a large scale expansion of the Georgia State campus, which includes new private and student housing, academic, and retail space in addition to the stadium redevelopment.
