The GWCC/CNN Station is a popular station for sports enthusiasts, concert goers and convention attendees heading to events at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, State Farm Arena, Centennial Olympic Park and the Georgia World Congress Center. It’s also is one of the more pleasant downtown MARTA stations and several nearby hotels provide park and city views.
The station itself is fairly uncomplicated, just deep underground. There are two main ways to exit the station. See below for destinations near each exit.
State Farm Arena/Mercedes-Benz/GWCC Exit

Georgia Dome Exit
The Georgia Dome exit connects to a stairway and walkway that leads to another Mercedes-Benz Stadium entrance (which may not be open for the Super Bowl). At this point it largely functions as an emergency exit.
