The dome was completed in 1992 at a cost of $214 million which came from the Georgia General Assembly, making it one of the largest state-funded construction projects in state history. It hosted Super Bowl XXVIII in 1994 and Super Bowl XXXIV in 2000, as well as the NCAA Final Four Men's Basketball National Championship in 2002 and 2007 along with regional semi-finals and finals in 2001 and 2006 and NCAA Women's Final Four in Officially Champion Contrary to popular belief, the ACC basketball champion has not always been officially declared in the Tournament. The ACC merely copied the old Southern Conference by-laws, and the term pertaining to basketball just read: Beginning December 1 and ending with the conference basketball tournament. With 17 teams it didn t pay to be too detailed. In the early years of the Tournament, unofficially, and by custom, everyone regarded the Tournament champion as the ACC champion. But it wasn t until July, 1, 1961, that the words and the winner shall be the conference champion were added to the ACC by-laws.
