Facts and practical information

McCamish Pavilion, known as the "Thrillerdome," is a dynamic sport venue situated in the bustling city of Atlanta, United States. Serving as the home court for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's and women's basketball teams, this arena is a hub for athletic excellence and spirited competition. Following a significant renovation, the facility reopened its doors in 2012, boasting state-of-the-art amenities and an electrifying atmosphere that can hold up to 8,600 spectators.

Constructed on the grounds of the former Alexander Memorial Coliseum, McCamish Pavilion honors its legacy while embracing the future of sports entertainment. The venue is not only a cornerstone for college basketball but also serves as a versatile space for hosting a variety of events, including volleyball matches, concerts, and convocation ceremonies.

The Pavilion's renovation was a transformative project that included the installation of a new seating bowl, a high-definition center-hung scoreboard, and an advanced sound system, all designed to enhance the fan experience. The architecture of the venue pays homage to the rich history of Georgia Tech, incorporating elements like the iconic "Tech Tower" into its design.
