Mercedes-Benz Stadium

"A state-of-the-art sports and entertainment stadium in Atlanta, home to the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United FC." - Henna Bakshi

"The completion of the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium in downtown solidified Atlanta as a top destination for football fans for events like Atlanta Falcons home games, the Aflac College Football KickOff, the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, the SEC Championship, and eventually the 2028 Super Bowl." - Tori Allen

"When Mercedes-Benz Stadium opened its doors in 2017 it became an eye-catching star in Atlanta's skyline. The unique roof's design hearkens to a falcon wing (appropriate given that the football team it's home to is the Falcons) and the retractable roof allows them to change the vibe in just a few minutes. The venue is impressive upon entering thanks to its stunning windows that give you an amazing view of the city as you descend and ascend the escalators. The awe is continued when you enter the stadium's seating area with excellent visibility and sound. Mercedes-Benz Stadium is home to an NFL team (the Atlanta Falcons) and an MSL team (Atlanta United). Atlanta United games are particularly rowdy with fans that get super into it which creates an electric atmosphere. There are also musical performances throughout the year." - Lia Picard, Jennifer Bradley Franklin
