Dome/GWCC/Philips Arena/CNN Center is a station in the MARTA rail system. As the station name suggests, the station provides service to the Georgia Dome, the Georgia World Congress Center, Philips Arena, and the CNN Center. Access is also provided to the Omni and Glenn hotels, Centennial Olympic Park, the Georgia Aquarium, Centennial Tower, and the new World of Coca-Cola at Pemberton Place. When the station first opened in 1979, it was called Omni station due to its proximity to the now-demolished Omni Coliseum.
