World Congress Center With six exceptional meeting and convention facilities combined with exhibition capability of more than 2.5 million square feet, the Georgia World Congress Center, the second largest convention center in the United States, hosts a myriad of meetings, conventions, consumer trade shows, sporting and entertainment events each year. The multi-purpose facility expanded its international scope during the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, when it hosted six sporting events and served as the International Broadcast Center.
Georgia DomeThe Georgia Dome, home of the Atlanta Falcons, is a $220 million, 75,000-seat stadium featuring the world's largest cable-supported Teflon roof, located adjacent to the World Congress Center. The Dome also is home to the annual Peach Bowl, and serves as site for the 1994 and 2000 Super Bowl Games. The 1996 Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games brought basketball and gymnastic competition to the Dome.
Centennial Olympic ParkThe 21-acre Centennial Olympic Park was developed to serve as the world's gathering place during the Centennial Olympic Games in 1996. The park has become a civic symbol and community focal point as well as a catalyst for new development in the area created entirely with private funds. Centennial Olympic Park is the largest new center city park to be developed in the United States in 20 years and will serve as a long-term catalyst for new residential and commercial development around its perimeter, further strengthening downtown Atlanta.
