Panther Stadium, College stadium in Atlanta, US
Panther Stadium is a college sports facility on the Clark Atlanta University campus with seating for around 5,000 spectators arranged across multiple sections. The venue includes ticket offices at the gates, concession stands throughout the seating areas, and accessible parking in lots nearby.
Panther Stadium was built as a field hockey venue for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, hosting the preliminary rounds of both hockey tournaments while the final rounds took place at Alonzo Herndon Stadium. After the Games it was converted into a multi-purpose stadium for Clark Atlanta University's teams. The running track around the field was moved there from Centennial Olympic Stadium once that venue became Turner Field.
The stadium hosts Clark Atlanta Panthers games and is the home ground of the university's marching band, the Mighty Marching Panthers. The band performs during games, and the venue also served as a secondary field hockey site during the 1996 Olympics.
The stadium is located on the university campus and opens only during game days, so plan your visit accordingly. Arriving early helps you find parking easily and avoid long waits at the entrances.
The running track around the field came from Centennial Olympic Stadium: after the 1996 Games it was moved here when that venue was rebuilt as Turner Field. In 2024 the Arthur Blank Family Foundation paid for a new red FieldTurf Prestige Vertex surface.
