Center Parc Stadium (Center Parc Credit Union Stadium) is the home of Georgia State Panthers football in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. The Sun Belt program plays in a stadium converted from the former Turner Field, giving it an unusual baseball-to-football lineage in the middle of the city. Retained upper-deck seating from its baseball days and the site's Olympic and MLB history give the venue a layered civic identity beyond college football. It sits within the Summerhill neighborhood redevelopment adjacent to campus.
The site originally opened in 1996 as Centennial Olympic Stadium for the Atlanta Olympics, then was reconfigured into Turner Field, home of the Atlanta Braves from 1997 to 2016. Georgia State acquired the site in 2017 and converted it into a football-only stadium in about six months, with the Panthers playing their first game there on August 31, 2017. A 2020 naming-rights deal with a credit union brought the current Center Parc name. The stadium stands as one of the most unusual repurposed venues in college football, tying Olympic, MLB, and college gridiron history together.
