Georgia State Arena is the tentative name of an under-construction multi-purpose 8,000-seat indoor arena being built in Atlanta, Georgia. It will house the Georgia State Panthers (NCAA Division I) men's and women's basketball teams along with the women's volleyball team. The arena will be owned by Georgia State University.
History[]
The $85 million arena will be constructed at the intersection of Fulton Street and Capitol Avenue, in the Summerhill section of Atlanta near the Olympic Cauldron and in the parking lots of Center Parc Stadium, which is now owned by the university. With flexible interior spaces, the building will accommodate as many as 7,300 people for basketball games, 7,500 for graduation events and 8,000 for concerts. The new facility will also include classroom and academic support space as well as the ability to accommodate large conferences and esports tournaments. The arena will replace the Georgia State Sports Arena, which was constructed in 1972 and has a maximum capacity of 3,854 seats.[1][2][3]
