The iconic, game-changing venue that forever altered Atlanta and the state of Georgia’s cultural, architectural and economic landscape – was imploded at 7:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time today.

Taking a mere 12 seconds to flatten the building’s approximate 250,000 cubic yards of concrete, the implosion utilized more than 10,000 man-hours of preparation, 4,800 total pounds of strategically placed explosives, and approximately 6 miles of detonating cord and 1 mile of electrical wire connections.

The Dome’s calling card was its versatility. It was the only venue to ever host the Olympics, the Super Bowl, and the NCCA Men’s Final Four. The Georgia Dome hosted its final public event, Monster Jam, on March 5, 2017.
