ATLANTA-Monday, July 19, will mark the 25th Anniversary of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta. For Georgia State, the Olympics marked a huge change for the University and one that can still very much be felt today.
The impact the Olympics in Atlanta had on Georgia State University, Center Parc Stadium (formerly Centennial Olympic Stadium), as well as on the GSU Sports Arena was quite a story and left lasting footprints.
Georgia State took ownership of the stadium former known as Turner Field which at the time of the 1996 was Centennial Olympic Stadium, in January of 2017.
