The stated capacity is 92,746, which is stadium scale — the floor and the concourse matter more to an event than the seat count does.

Access and arrival
Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) is 103 km (64 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.
It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.
Athens has 35 venues mapped in total and a population of 128,691. The Athens guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 1st largest arena or stadium mapped in Athens, and like all of them it solves the plenary and none of the rest of the programme.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 92,746 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
