Upon its completion in August 2017, Mercedes-Benz Stadium will be a world-class sports and entertainment facility and home to the National Football League's Atlanta Falcons and Major League Soccer's Atlanta United. The multi-purpose stadium will host major sports and entertainment events, including the 2018 College Football Playoff Championship, the 2018 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, the SEC Championship, the NFL Super Bowl in 2019, and the NCAA Men's Final Four in 2020. Mercedes-Benz Stadium is "raising the bar" in design and fan experience, becoming the first professional sports stadium in the world to be LEED-Platinum certified, housing a "halo" video board three times bigger than any other video board in the NFL, and having a first-of-its-kind retractable roof system inspired by the Pantheon in Rome.

Tours will be lead by Brian Wright, CMMS & Safety Compliance Coordinator and Michael Finley, Roof & Controls Technician for Mercedes-Benz Stadium

What you will see and learn:

The tour will highlight the safety considerations and challenges involved in the complex construction of the stadium, which includes 27,000 tons of steel that makes up the roof, and had as many as 2,000 workers on site daily. In addition, attendees will be guided through the process taken to identify both potential workplace and fan safety issues and programs developed to prepare for opening and operating the building. Lastly, the tour will give you a taste of the many amenities that Mercedes-Benz Stadium has to offer!
