State Farm Arena

Atlanta, Georgia, United States

State Farm Arena concert venue in Atlanta, Georgia

Why it matters

State Farm Arena opened in 1999 and was substantially rebuilt in 2018, keeping Atlanta’s main indoor arena in the center of downtown rather than moving it outward. Its proximity to Centennial Olympic Park and the convention district makes it a natural stop for the largest tours.

Getting there

MARTA is the clean way to reach State Farm Arena, with rail service beside the arena complex. If you are already downtown, Centennial Olympic Park is a useful reference point and the final walk is easy. Drivers should expect event traffic from the surrounding sports and convention district.

Bag policy

Check the specific State Farm Arena event page—not an old social post—for the active bag rule. Bring only essentials unless the venue explicitly allows a larger or clear bag for that performance.

Local tips

MARTA is the practical choice, with a station beside the arena complex. Centennial Olympic Park is an easy meeting point before the show, and walking a few blocks away from the arena after the encore usually makes rideshare pickup less painful.
