Center Parc Stadium

Center Parc Stadium is a stadium in Downtown Atlanta, United States, offering seating for 24,333 spectators across several tiers, with artificial turf and modern athletic facilities for collegiate competition. The structure rises in multiple levels, with seating sections starting close to the playing surface and extending upward to upper decks, while locker rooms and training spaces occupy areas beneath the stands.

The site was originally built as Centennial Olympic Stadium for the 1996 Olympic Games, then reshaped into Turner Field for baseball, and converted for football use in 2017. The latest transformation brought a reduction in seating capacity and new arrangements of the playing surface to suit collegiate football operations.

The stadium draws students and alumni during Panthers home games, who gather in the stands to support their team. On game days the concourses and entry areas fill with university colors while chants and cheers echo through the sections.

Visitors reach the stadium through MARTA bus services or use several nearby parking lots, with the main entrance located on Hank Aaron Drive. Entry gates typically open a few hours before kickoff, allowing guests time to find their seats and settle in.

Certain sections of the upper deck offer open views toward the downtown skyline, as the stands are not fully enclosed. These openings are remnants of earlier configurations and were kept during the latest renovation, giving the stadium profile its characteristic shape.
