New name unveiled for Georgia State stadium, former Turner Field site

ATLANTA — Olympics stadium, Turner Field, Georgia State Stadium and now CenterParc Stadium.

Georgia State unveiled its new naming partner for its football stadium Tuesday. Center Parc Credit Union, an Atlanta Postal Credit Union division, and the university agreed on a 15-year, $21 million contract for the stadium name.

“Putting the Center Parc name on Georgia State’s stadium is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to help transform a historic part of our city,” said Chuck Head, president and chief executive officer of Center Parc and APCU. “I grew up in this area, as did my wife and kids, so I have a strong personal resonance with this iconic sports venue. I’m proud to make Center Parc a part of the memories that will be made for generations to come.”

Georgia State took over the former 1996 Olympics stadium and Turner Field when the Atlanta Braves moved to Truist Park. The school transformed the former track and baseball field into a football stadium.

The Panthers played their first season at the stadium in 2017.

“We are incredibly excited to partner with Center Parc on the stadium naming rights,” Georgia State Director of Athletics Charlie Cobb said. “This will provide tremendous benefits to our student-athletes, our athletics department and our university as a whole. This is just the start of a great relationship between Georgia State and Center Parc.”
