Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium Park

Address: Former site: Downtown Atlanta - formerly on Fulton County property near the intersection of Hank Aaron Drive and Central Avenue

Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium was a multipurpose sports stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, that opened in 1965 and served as the home of the Atlanta Braves (Major League Baseball) and the Atlanta Falcons (National Football League) during its working life. The stadium was one of the large municipal venues of its era and was demolished in 1997.

The stadium was built for both baseball and American football with substantially larger seating for football than for baseball; during its use it hosted professional baseball and football seasons and large civic events. Its dual-purpose design influenced sightlines and seating arrangements typical of mid-century multipurpose stadia.

Constructed by Fulton County and the City of Atlanta in the mid-1960s, the stadium opened in 1965, hosted baseball and football through the 1960s to 1990s, and was vacated and demolished after the teams relocated to more modern facilities in the 1990s.

The stadium was located in downtown Atlanta within Fulton County, close to the central business district and transport links; the site was later redeveloped following demolition.

• Dates: Opened in 1965 as a multipurpose municipal stadium and demolished in 1997 after its teams moved to newer venues.
• Design: Designed as a dual-use stadium with larger capacity for football and reduced capacity for baseball.

The stadium was located in downtown Atlanta near the intersection of Hank Aaron Drive and Central Avenue, close to where the current Georgia State University Stadium and surrounding development now stand. Use Atlanta MARTA rail to either King Memorial or Georgia State stations and walk or take a short taxi from there.

• The stadium itself was demolished in 1997; visit the Georgia State University campus nearby and the plaques marking the stadium's place if seeking the site's memory.
• Consult local Atlanta sports history groups or the Atlanta History Center for archival photos and stories of Hank Aaron and the 1996 Olympics moments tied to the stadium.
