The Georgia Dome is a domed stadium located in Atlanta, Georgia. The stadium is home to the NFL's Atlanta Falcons. It has also been home to the NBA's Atlanta Hawks in the past, and also hosted basketball and gymnastics during the 1996 Summer Olympics.

The stadium was completed in 1992 at a cost of $214 million. It seats 71,228 for football, up to 75,000 for concerts, and up to 40,000 for basketball and gymnastics.
