History

The $85 million dollar arena will be constructed at the intersection of Fulton Street and Capitol Avenue. With flexible interior spaces, the building will accommodate as many as 7,300 people for basketball games, 7,500 for graduation events and 8,000 for concerts. The new facility will also include classroom and academic support space as well as the ability to accommodate large conferences and esports tournaments. The arena will replace the Georgia State Sports Arena, which was constructed in 1972 and has a maximum capacity of 3,854 seats.[1][2][3]
