The Coca-Cola Roxy is a concert venue located in The Battery Atlanta in Cumberland, Georgia. Named after the old Roxy Theatre, the venue opened in April 2017.

History

On July 16, 2015, the Atlanta Braves and concert promoter Live Nation Entertainment announced a deal to develop and manage the long-planned entertainment venue adjacent to Truist Park. Named in homage to the old Roxy Theatre that was torn down in 1972, the venue was announced to have standing-room-only capacity for 4,000 and feature about 40 music and comic shows annually, was designed to help drive activity to the site on non-gamedays, and planned to host special events.{{cite news |title=Braves, Live Nation plan to open Roxy Theatre at SunTrust Park |first=J.
