Mercedes Benz Stadium will participate in global “light it blue” Thursday night

As we all continue to go through current COVID-19 pandemic together, even the slightest gestures can go a long way into helping those on the front lines of this virus smile during a very grim and unprecedented time for all of us.

On Thursday, April 9th, Mercedes Benz Stadium along with the Atlanta City Hall, Skyview Ferris Wheel, College Football Hall of Fame will participate in what is being called the “Light it Blue initiative” that will be a global “collective salute to the millions of essential workers on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic”

As we have seen over the last couple weeks in Atlanta, neighbors are cheering for our front line medical workers at shift changes and saying thank you for all that they do try to keep everyone alive during this trying time.
