Coca-Cola headquarters tour

If you want to see sports history that doesn’t involve football, you can tour the sites of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games, which were held in Atlanta. Many of the structures are still in use, like Centennial Olympic Stadium which has been used by the Atlanta Braves and now as Georgia State’s football home.
