Stadium
The Georgia State Panthers play home games in the state owned Georgia Dome, located just north of the Georgia State main campus in Downtown Atlanta. It is the largest cable-supported domed stadium in the world and has a football capacity of 71,228. The regular capacity for GSU football games is 28,155 (the capacity of the lower bowl), however the middle and upper bowls will be filled as overflow when necessary as has occurred twice since the programs inception. The dome hosted the gymnastic and basketball events during the 1996 Olympic Games. The dome is outfitted with FieldTurf.
