Excellent arena with state of the art renovations! Georgia State University has done an exceptional job repurposing the facility!

Believe it or not, it's a basketball arena. The Georgia State Panthers play here. The gym floor is on the third floor, which is... unusual.

A little bit like an oversized high school gym but there is a great vibe when the students show up and the Panthers are on the court. The GSU band is fantastic. Parking in the G Deck is easy. It's a great place to watch the best college hoops in Georgia.

My daughter graduated with her Masters from Ga State since she was awarded a fellowship. They started late and it was a bit disorganized. She received her bachelors from Ga Southern and there were many times more students graduating then and they started on time and was so well organized. According to her Ga SOUTHERN is the real GSU.

This review for the Georgia State University Sports Arena is long overdue. The GSU Sports Arena is home to Georgia State's men's and women's basketball teams as well as the women's volleyball team. It's located in Downtown Atlanta, just a couple blocks away from the State Capitol. It opened in 1973. I attended a Georgia Tech at Georgia State men's basketball game here and I believe it was the only time in the schools' histories that Tech played a true "road" game at State in 17 meetings. In the past, State has played at Tech. Tech won in a close contest, 72-67, and is currently 16-1 all-time against State (.941 win percentage). GSU Sports Arena is small with an official capacity of 3,854. Compare that to Tech's McCamish Pavilion at 8,600 seats ( and Kennesaw State University's Convocation Center at 4,600 seats ( At approximately 3,800 seats, GSU Sports Arena reminds me of a high school gym, but bigger. The good thing about small arenas is the atmosphere. They can sell out and get packed and loud quick. I haven't been to a lot of mid-major college basketball arenas, but I thought the size of GSU Sports Arena was appropriate for the level and popularity of the program. Former GSU coach Ron Hunter, who's now the head coach at Tulane, elevated the status of GSU basketball during his time with the team (2011-12 through 2018-19). He led the Panthers to six postseason appearances in eight seasons including three appearances in the NCAA tournament. They peaked in 2015, making it to the round of 32. The increased prominence in GSU basketball led to Georgia Governor Brian Kemp's May 2019 approval of a fiscal year 2020 state budget, effective July 1, 2019, that includes $48 million for a new convocation center and basketball arena for GSU (additional construction costs will come from private funding). The new arena will be located at the corner of Capitol Ave SE and Fulton St SW, near Georgia State Stadium (the old Turner Field), home of the Panthers football team. It will seat about 8,000 people. I'm not surprised GSU is getting a new basketball arena as this one is dated and has seen better days. At least the concessions were cheap. Along with GSU basketball and volleyball, this arena has hosted a variety of events including ESPN's annual college slam dunk and three-point contests (when the Final Four has been in town).

I always enjoy coming to this place to watch the Panthers play. The crowds are always loud and deeply passionate about watching men's basketball. Coach Hunter knows how to coach and demands excellence from his student-athlethes. They play an exciting brand of basketball. The food prices are great. I bought a slice of pizza, a hot dog and a candy bar for only $3.
