Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, cost a projected $1.6 billion to build. The home of the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons opened in August 2017 after nearly three years of construction. Mercedes-Benz Stadium holds up to 75,000 fans for American football and had a record attendance of 78,347 for the 2019 Peach Bowl.
The building has a retractable roof and an artificial turf surface and was designed to host multiple types of events as well.
Knowing Atlanta would host a multitude of college football games, the building design included bigger locker rooms so they could accommodate the larger rosters in college football.
