The station opened on December 22, 1979 as Omni station due to its proximity to the Omni Coliseum. The station's name expanded in 1992 as Omni/Dome/World Congress Center[3] (or simply Omni/Dome/GWCC)[4] with that year's opening of the Georgia Dome. By the year 2000, the station name had changed to Dome/GWCC/Philips Arena/CNN Center.[5] In June 2019, MARTA held a town hall to gather community input on a new name for the station after the demolition of the Georgia Dome and the renaming of Philips Arena to State Farm Arena.[6] The station was one of five MARTA rail stations that were under consideration for new names in 2019.[7] The name of the station was changed to GWCC/CNN Center.[8] On December 1, 2025, the name was changed to Sports, Entertainment and Convention District, six months before the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[9]
Access is also provided to the Omni and Glenn hotels, The Center, the Georgia Aquarium, the College Football Hall of Fame, Centennial Yards, the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, Centennial Tower, and the World of Coca-Cola at Pemberton Place.
