About Georgia Dome
The Georgia Dome was a landmark indoor, multi-purpose domed stadium in Atlanta, located at 1 Georgia Dome Drive NW. Opened in 1992 and later demolished in 2017, the site has since been redeveloped as The Home Depot Backyard, with Mercedes-Benz Stadium rising nearby to host Falcons games and Atlanta United matches. This page provides a practical overview for visitors seeking historical context, seating and event layouts, parking, transit access, and nearby lodging and dining options.
\nWhether you’re researching past events or planning to explore the surrounding area, we’ve got you covered with insider tips on getting around, where to stay, and how to dine in convenient proximity to the former Georgia Dome site and its modern successors.
Important notes: The Georgia Dome capacity ranged up to about 71,250 for football and up to roughly 80,000 for concerts, with seating charts varying by event. For major events, MARTA access via the Dome/GWCC/Philips Arena/CNN Center (Dome) station offered convenient transit. On event days, parking was abundant but premium; many guests chose MARTA to avoid traffic. The adjacent CNN Center area remains a hub of hotels and dining options, with several historic properties nearby.
\nCurrent status: The Georgia Dome was demolished on November 20, 2017, and the site has been redeveloped as The Home Depot Backyard. Mercedes-Benz Stadium opened nearby and now serves as the home for the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United, sustaining the area’s role as a premier event district in downtown Atlanta.
\nFor bookings and planning, consider nearby hotel anchors like Omni Atlanta Hotel at CNN Center, Westin Peachtree Plaza, and Hilton Atlanta, all within easy reach for travelers and visitors attending events in the stadium corridor.
