Abstract

In 1996, there was a battle between Atlanta and Athens for the organization of the last olympic Games of the twentieth century. It would have been a beautiful mythical moment if the games where celebrated there where the story began, one century ago. But the gods of Olympia were not enough powerful against the wonderful facilities created by the American city. One of these facilities was the centennial olympic stadium.
We would like then to make an analysis of the centennial olympic stadium project that was built in two years, from 1994 till 1996 in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. It was agreed between the Atlanta Committee for the olympic Games, Inc. ("ACOG") and the Metropolitan Atlanta olympic Games Authority ("MAOGA").
In our paper, we are going to explain the reasons behind the success of this huge project. Particularly, we will draw you attention on the successful management and control of time, budget and functions. One of the most important roles was the choice of companies that would participate into management and construction of the stadium. Thus, we are going also to write about them.
