Centennial Olympic Stadium, Olympic stadium in Atlanta, United States.

Centennial Olympic Stadium is a large sports venue in Atlanta with a grass field and flexible design that accommodates different sports. The structure was engineered to transform quickly between various athletic competitions.

The stadium opened in 1996 as the main track and field venue for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. It was later adapted for different sports and continues to shape the city's sporting history.

The stadium shaped the look of Summerhill and shows Atlanta's connection to world sports events. Visitors see a building that put the city on the international sports map.

The stadium sits near major transit routes and downtown attractions, making it easy to reach from different parts of the city. Its location allows visitors to combine a trip here with other sights nearby.

The building went through two major conversions, becoming first a baseball stadium and later a college football venue. These transformations show how an Olympic legacy was repurposed for modern sports needs.
