McCamish Pavilion: Atlanta's Premier College Basketball Destination
McCamish Pavilion is the beating heart of Georgia Tech basketball in the heart of Midtown Atlanta. Situated directly on the Georgia Tech campus along North Avenue, this arena delivers a game-day atmosphere that rivals any facility in the ACC. With a seating capacity of approximately 8,600, McCamish is large enough to generate serious crowd energy while remaining intimate enough that every seat puts fans close to the action on the floor.
Opened in 2012 and named in honor of philanthropists Bill and Penny McCamish, the pavilion underwent a design built specifically around the fan experience. The steep seating bowl means virtually no bad seats in the house, and the proximity of the student section to the court creates a wall of noise that opposing teams dread. The arena's state-of-the-art scoreboard, lighting system, and sound infrastructure make every game night feel like a major event.
McCamish Pavilion sits within easy reach of Midtown Atlanta's dining and entertainment corridor. Fans arriving early enjoy access to dozens of restaurants, bars, and coffee shops along North Avenue, Spring Street, and the surrounding Midtown grid. The venue is accessible via MARTA's Red and Gold Lines at the North Avenue station, making it one of the most transit-friendly sports venues in the city. Parking is also available in multiple Georgia Tech campus decks for those driving in from across the Atlanta metro.
