The Georgia Dome is home to the National Football League's Atlanta Falcons and the Georgia State Panthers football team of NCAA. Part of the Georgia World Congress Center, it was the largest domed building in the world until it was overtaken in 1999 by the Millennium Dome in London, United Kingdom; however, it remains the largest indoor sports facility in the United States. During the 1996 Summer Olympics, it was home to basketball, artistic gymnastics and team handball events.

The CNN Center is the world headquarters of CNN. It is directly connected to Philips Arena, home of the Atlanta Thrashers. It originally opened as Omni International Complex but did not find success until CNN moved into the building in 1987.

Hockey tenants (mouseover for details):


Philips Arena is the home of the former Atlanta Thrashers, the NBA's Atlanta Hawks and the WNBA's Atlanta Dream. It was also formerly home of the Georgia Farce of the Arena Football League. The 2005 NHL All-Star Game was scheduled to be held at Philips Arena but it was canceled due to a labor dispute, joining the HP Pavilion at San Jose as the second arena to have this happen. One of the busiest arenas in the United States, it is located next to and attached to the CNN Center.
