Welcome to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, an architectural marvel in Atlanta, Georgia, and the home of the NFL's Atlanta Falcons (NFC South). Opened on August 26, 2017, to replace the Georgia Dome, this premier downtown venue offers an exceptional live event atmosphere.

Designed with a signature retractable roof inspired by the Roman Pantheon, the eight translucent panels open in a pinwheel movement resembling extended bird wings. Inside, you will find an unobstructed view of the Atlanta skyline through the east end zone, alongside the Halo board—a massive 58-by-1,100-foot ring-shaped video display circling the roof rim.

Beyond football, the stadium hosts major events including college football championship games, soccer matches, and Super Bowls. Fans can enjoy more than 180 contemporary art pieces, featuring the world's largest freestanding bird sculpture, *The Atlanta Falcon*, standing outside. On game day, explore fan-friendly spots like the 100 Yard Club, the AT&T Perch, and the Budweiser Biergarten. Outside, tailgating thrives at The Home Depot Backyard, an 11-acre green space with a multi-tiered pavilion. The venue also prioritizes value with its fan-first concession pricing and seamless cashless operation.
