The Atlanta Falcons announced Tuesday that Mercedes-Benz Stadium will be open to fans in a limited capacity starting with the team's Week 5 game against the Carolina Panthers on Oct. 11.
MLS club Atlanta United will also host fans for home games at the stadium following that date.
Steve Cannon, the CEO of AMB Sports and Entertainment, said in a statement:
"We are thrilled to invite fans of both the Falcons and Atlanta United back to Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Having fans watch from alternative locations was a difficult, but important decision.
