Mercedes-Benz Stadium is a multi-purpose retractable roof stadium located in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. The home of the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League (NFL) and Atlanta United FC of Major League Soccer (MLS), it replaced the now-demolished Georgia Dome, the Falcons’ home stadium from 1992–2016. Mercedes-Benz Stadium holds the record for the world’s largest video board at 62,350 square feet (5,793 m2), and is one of five stadiums in the NFL with a retractable roof.
The stadium is owned by the state of Georgia through the Georgia World Congress Center Authority, and operated by AMB Group, the parent organization of the Falcons and Atlanta United. The total cost was estimated at US$1.6 billion, as of June 2016. The stadium officially opened on August 26, 2017 with a Falcons preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals, despite the retractable roof system being incomplete at the time. Work on the retractable roof was completed on July 14, 2018.
梅賽德斯 – 奔馳體育場是一個多功能可伸縮屋頂體育場，位於美國喬治亞州亞特蘭大市。 作為美國國家橄欖球聯盟（NFL）的亞特蘭大獵鷹隊和美國職業足球大聯盟（MLS）的亞特蘭大聯合足球俱樂部的主場，它取代了現在被拆除的喬治亞圓頂體育場，從1992年至2016年的獵鷹隊主場。 梅賽德斯 – 奔馳體育場擁有世界上最大的視頻板62,350平方英尺（5,793平方米）的紀錄，是NFL的五個可伸縮屋頂體育場之一。
該體育場由佐治亞州通過喬治亞世界會議中心管理局擁有，由Falcons和Atlanta United的母公司AMB Group運營。 截至2016年6月，總費用估計為16億美元。該體育場於2017年8月26日正式開放，其中獵鷹季前賽對陣亞利桑那紅雀隊，儘管當時可伸縮的屋頂系統不完整。 可伸縮屋頂的工作於2018年7月14日完成。

Proposal timeline
2010
In May 2010, it was reported by multiple news outlets that the Atlanta Falcns were interested in replacing the Georgia Dome with a newly constructed open-air stadium, although at the time it was planned to retain the Georgia Dome to continue hosting non-NFL events. The team was pursuing a new stadium because of the team’s desire to play outdoors, as well as Falcons team owner Arthur Blank’s interest in hosting another Super Bowl. The stadium was also pursued as a possible bid for a venue of an upcoming FIFA World Cup.
2011
Kansas City-based architectural firm Populous released comprehensive plans for the proposed stadium in February 2011. Populous’ early cost estimate for the project was US$700 million. According to the master plan, the stadium would have a maximum capacity of 71,000, but can expand to 75,000 for special events such as the Super Bowl. It will also feature multiple club levels, suites and exhibition area.
2012
In April 2012, Populous released a new price estimate of US$947.7 million, which was significantly higher than the previous proposal of US$700 million. In April 2012, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that if a deal is reached, the new stadium’s construction would be expected to begin in 2014, with the Falcons to begin regular-season play in 2017.The proposed location of the new stadium is a large parking lot in Atlanta’s Vine City neighborhood, which is less than a mile north of the Georgia Dome’s current location. Once construction is complete, the Georgia Dome would subsequently be demolished.
On August 24, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that an official deal could be reached on the construction of a new stadium by the end of 2012. They also reported on September 10 that Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed said site improvements could likely bump the total cost to US$1.2 billion; however, that does not increase the actual building cost, which still remains at an estimated US$948 million.
On December 10, the Georgia World Congress Center Authority, in a unanimous decision, approved the blueprint and most of the agreement terms for the new stadium plans. According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution article, the term sheet is non-binding and changes could be made at any time as regards stadium construction. Stadium location, however, is yet to be worked out; proposed locations being reported are within walking distance of the Georgia Dome, with one site located one-half mile north, and the other one block directly south, at the one of the stadium’s existing parking lots. The project made national headlines for the first time in 2012 on December 15, with team owner Arthur Blank stating in The New York Times that he would rather have a new stadium be constructed than a “remodeling job” of the Georgia Dome.
2013
During a January 10, 2013 press conference, Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed expressed his optimism and confidence in the construction of the new stadium; he also mentioned the possibility of the new stadium helping the city compete for its first Major League Soccer team.
Aerial photo showing land next to Georgia Dome cleared for construction of the new stadium.
On March 7, 2013, the Atlanta Falcons and the city of Atlanta agreed to build the new downtown stadium. The maximum public contribution for the project is US$200 million, coming from the hotel-motel tax in Atlanta and unincorporated Fulton County. The Atlanta City Council officially approved the stadium on March 19, 2013. The council voted, 11–4, in favor of the use of city hotel-motel taxes to pay US$200 million toward construction costs and potentially several times that toward costs of financing, maintaining and operating the stadium through 2050. On May 21, 2013, the NFL approved a US$200 million loan to the Falcons organization for the purpose of building the stadium.
On June 18, 2013, it was announced that the Falcons have completed a full conceptual design of the proposed new stadium, and that they have secured the initial approval to proceed with the schematic design phase. According to Doug Farrar’s Shutdown Corner, “The stadium will seat approximately 70,000 people, with 180 luxury suites and 7,500 club seats.” The main agency involved will be 360 Architecture, partnered with three other architectural firms.
2014
Arthur Blank indicated the groundbreaking of the stadium would be conducted the last week of March 2014. Just after Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive was closed permanently, the Mount Vernon Baptist Church held its last Sunday service on March 9 before the historic church was demolished. Due to legal issues surrounding the issuing of bonds, the stadium did not break ground in March 2014. Instead the ground was officially broken in a ceremony led by Mayor Kasim Reed on May 19, 2014.
2015

In a live broadcast on August 24, 2015, owner Arthur Blank announced that the new title of the stadium would be Mercedes-Benz Stadium. As the New Orleans Saints, the Falcons’ archrivals in the NFC South, play in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, this gave the division two stadiums that were sponsored by the same company. A new logo was also introduced. Steve Cannon, then CEO of Mercedes-Benz USA, also spoke at the event about the company’s corporate move from New Jersey to Atlanta. Other speakers included Georgia Governor Nathan Deal and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed.
提案時間表
2010
2010年5月，據多家新聞媒體報導，亞特蘭大獵鷹隊有興趣用新建的露天體育場取代喬治亞圓頂體育場，儘管當時計劃保留喬治亞圓頂體育館以繼續舉辦非NFL比賽。由於球隊渴望在戶外比賽，以及獵鷹隊老闆亞瑟·布蘭克有興趣舉辦另一場超級碗比賽，球隊正在追求一個新球場。該體育場也被視為即將到來的FIFA世界杯的場地。
2011
總部位於堪薩斯城的建築公司Populous於2011年2月發布了擬建體育場的綜合計劃。該項目的早期成本估算為7億美元。根據總體規劃，體育場最大容量為71,000，但可以擴展至75,000，用於超級碗等特殊活動。它還將包括多個俱樂部樓層，套房和展覽區。
2012
2012年4月，Populous發布了一項新的價值9.447億美元，遠遠高於此前7億美元的建議。 2012年4月，“亞特蘭大憲法報”報導說，如果達成協議，新體育場的建設將在2014年開始，獵鷹隊將於2017年開始常規賽。新球場的擬議位置是位於亞特蘭大Vine City附近的大型停車場，距離Georgia Dome當前位置不到一英里。一旦施工完成，格魯吉亞穹頂隨後將被拆除。
8月24日，“亞特蘭大憲法報”報導，到2012年底，可能會就新體育場的建設達成正式協議。他們還在9月10日報導，亞特蘭大市長卡西姆·里德表示，改善站點可能會降低總成本達到12億美元;然而，這並沒有增加實際的建築成本，仍然估計為9.48億美元。
12月10日，佐治亞州世界會議中心管理局在一致決定中批准了新體育場計劃的藍圖和大部分協議條款。根據“亞特蘭大憲法報”的文章，條款清單沒有約束力，在體育場建設方面可以隨時進行更改。然而，體育場的位置尚未確定;據報導，擬建的地點位於喬治亞圓頂體育場的步行範圍內，其中一個位於北半英里處，另一個位於南面，位於體育場現有停車場之一。該項目於2012年12月15日首次成為全國頭條新聞，團隊老闆亞瑟·布蘭克在“紐約時報”上表示，他寧願建造一座新的體育場而不是喬治亞圓頂體育場的“重建工作”。
2013
在2013年1月10日的新聞發布會上，亞特蘭大市長卡西姆·里德表達了對新體育場建設的樂觀和信心。他還提到了新體育場幫助城市爭奪其第一支美國職業足球大聯盟球隊的可能性。
顯示土地的空中照片在喬治亞圓頂旁邊為新的體育場的建築清除了。
2013年3月7日，亞特蘭大獵鷹隊和亞特蘭大市同意建造新的市中心體育場。該項目的最大公共捐款為2億美元，來自亞特蘭大的酒店 – 汽車旅館稅以及未註冊的富爾頓縣。亞特蘭大市議會於2013年3月19日正式批准了該體育場。理事會以11-4投票贊成使用城市酒店 – 汽車旅館稅來支付2億美元用於建設成本，並且可能是融資成本的幾倍到2050年，維持和運營體育場。2013年5月21日，NFL批准向Falcons組織提供2億美元的貸款，用於建造體育場。
2013年6月18日，宣布Falcons已經完成了擬議新體育場的全面概念設計，並且他們已獲得初步批准，繼續進行原理圖設計階段。根據Doug Farrar的Shutdown Corner，“體育場將容納約70,000人，擁有180個豪華套房和7,500個俱樂部座位。”涉及的主要機構將是360 Architecture，與其他三家建築公司合作。
2014
亞瑟·布蘭克表示，體育場的開工將在2014年3月的最後一周進行。就在馬丁·路德·金，Jr. Drive永久關閉之後，弗農山浸信會教堂於3月9日舉行了最後一個星期天的服務，之後這座歷史悠久的教堂被拆除。由於發行債券的法律問題，體育場在2014年3月沒有破土動工。相反，2014年5月19日由市長Kasim Reed領導的儀式正式破土動工。

在2015年8月24日的現場直播中，老闆亞瑟·布蘭克宣布，體育場的新標題將是梅賽德斯 – 奔馳體育場。 作為新奧爾良聖徒，獵鷹隊在NFC南部的對手，在梅賽德斯 – 奔馳Superdome中進行比賽，這給了該部門由同一家公司贊助的兩個體育場。 還引入了新標識。 當時梅賽德斯 – 奔馳美國公司首席執行官史蒂夫•坎農（Steve Cannon）也就該公司從新澤西州到亞特蘭大的公司搬遷事件發表了講話。 其他發言人包括佐治亞州州長Nathan Deal和亞特蘭大市長Kasim Reed。
Preview of the New Mercedes-Benz Stadium

Design
The winning design, submitted by HOK, featured an eight-panel retractable roof that resembled a pinwheel, and a glass wall that would open with the roof to allow in fresh air.
The roof design included eight triangular translucent panels, that when opened would create the illusion of a bird’s wings extended. Surrounding the opening of the roof would be a halo video board that would enclose the playing surface, stretching from one of the 10-yard lines to the other and then curving around the end zones to complete the oval. Each of the eight panels operates on two straight, parallel rails; one rail is responsible for moving the panel while the other rail stabilizes the panel. Mark Silvera, president of Uni-Systems Engineering, explains that closing the roof takes slightly less time than opening the roof, since the roof has to disengage the seals at the start of the opening procedure and slow down towards the end to prevent the panels from getting derailed.
In January 2015, the Falcons announced the hiring of Daktronics, a South Dakota-based firm, to build the stadium’s electronics display. The announced features included a 58-by-1,100-foot (18 by 335 m) circular LED board that would ring the opening of the stadium’s roof, and would be “three times as large as the current largest single display board in the NFL” installed at EverBank Field in Jacksonville (also built by Daktronics). In addition, the company installed more than 20,000 square feet (1,900 m2) of other LED boards, including field-level advertising boards for soccer games.
Mike Egan, a senior executive for AMB Group, described Mercedes-Benz Stadium as “an outdoor stadium with a roof over it”. Egan stated that the field is equipped with a drainage system, and the electrical systems for the main halo board and other video boards are outdoor rated, allowing stadium officials to open the roof if there is up to a 25 percent chance of precipitation; Egan also stated that other factors such as humidity and outside temperatures would be taken into consideration on whether or not the roof would be opened.
The design included a 100-yard bar that would stretch the length of the football field in the upper concourse, along with a fantasy football lounge and premium club seating at field level, behind the teams’ benches.
The stadium incorporated contemporary art into its interior and exterior design, with over 180 commissioned works, including pieces by Nari Ward, Hank Willis Thomas, and Steven and William Ladd. The centerpiece of the art collection is Gábor Miklós Szőke’s stainless steel sculpture The Atlanta Falcon, which the artist said is the largest freestanding bird sculpture in the world. The falcon, perched atop a 13 foot (4.0 m) tall bronze football, is 41 feet (12 m) high with a wingspan of 70 feet (21 m). The over 73,000 pounds (33,000 kg) artwork stands in front of the stadium, and as tall as a four-story building.
Architect Bill Johnson said the circular opening in the roof was inspired by the Roman Pantheon (“Pantheon” was also the working name for the building design). The roof was designed to be made of a clear, lightweight polymer material that can adjust its opacity to control light, and much of the exterior will be clear polymer or glass to allow views to the outside. The middle concourse and upper bowl were eliminated in the east end zone to allow for an unobstructed view of the Atlanta skyline.
Atlanta United FC General Manager Jim Smith said the design had “soccer in mind from the very beginning”, pointing to the retracting lower bowl seats to widen the field, and mechanized curtains that limit the capacity to about 42,500 and make the stadium feel more intimate.
The stadium also includes features specific for college football use. It opened with two oversized locker rooms, each capable of housing 100 players, reflecting the much larger size of college football rosters compared to those of the NFL. However, the stadium did not initially include another feature important in that context—staircases connecting the seats to the field, making it difficult for bands to enter the field for halftime shows (most NFL teams, including the Falcons, do not have bands). According to ESPN, “You can bet, after the [2017] Chick-fil-A Kickoff Games exposed the oversight, the stairs are there now.”
The stadium features a Chick-fil-A location, a business that famously closes on Sundays, despite its main tenant, the Falcons, playing most of their home games on Sundays. The location opens when the Falcons have a Monday night or Thursday night home game, as well as non-Sunday home games of Atlanta United FC and other events at the stadium. On Sundays, the digital signs will be flipped and concessionaire Levy Restaurants will sell non-branded food and drinks at the location.
設計
獲獎設計由HOK提交，其特色是一個八面板可伸縮的屋頂，類似於風車，還有一個玻璃牆，可以通過屋頂打開，以便呼吸新鮮空氣。
屋頂設計包括八個三角形半透明面板，打開時會產生鳥翼伸展的錯覺。圍繞屋頂的開口將是一個光環視頻板，它將圍繞遊戲表面，從10碼線之一延伸到另一個，然後圍繞端部區域彎曲以完成橢圓形。八個面板中的每一個都在兩條直的平行軌道上運行;一個導軌負責移動面板，而另一個導軌穩定面板。 Uni-Systems Engineering總裁Mark Silvera解釋說，關閉屋頂所需的時間比打開屋頂要少一些，因為屋頂必須在打開過程開始時脫離密封，並向末端減速以防止面板出軌了。
2015年1月，獵鷹公司宣布聘請總部位於南達科他州的Daktronics公司建造該體育場的電子顯示屏。宣布的功能包括一個58×1,100英尺（18×335米）的圓形LED板，可以打開體育場屋頂的開口，並且將是“NFL當前最大的單一顯示板的三倍”安裝在傑克遜維爾的EverBank Field（也是由Daktronics建造）。此外，該公司還安裝了超過20,000平方英尺（1,900平方米）的其他LED板，包括用於足球比賽的現場級廣告牌。
AMB集團的高級管理人員邁克伊根（Mike Egan）將梅賽德斯 – 奔馳體育場描述為“一個有屋頂的戶外體育場”。 Egan表示，該場地配備了排水系統，主光環板和其他視頻板的電氣系統是戶外評級的，如果降雨量高達25％，體育場官員可以打開屋頂; Egan還表示，將考慮屋頂是否打開等其他因素，如濕度和室外溫度。
設計包括一個100碼的酒吧，可以在上層廣場延伸足球場的長度，還有一個夢幻的足球休息室和球場上的高級俱樂部座位，在球隊的長椅後面。
該體育場將當代藝術融入其內部和外部設計，包括超過180個委託作品，包括Nari Ward，Hank Willis Thomas，Steven和William Ladd的作品。藝術收藏品的核心是GáborMiklósSzőke的不銹鋼雕塑The Atlanta Falcon，藝術家稱這是世界上最大的獨立鳥雕塑。獵鷹位於一個13英尺（4.0米）高的青銅足球頂上，高41英尺（12米），翼展70英尺（21米）。超過73,000磅（33,000公斤）的藝術品矗立在體育場前，高達四層樓。
建築師比爾約翰遜說，屋頂的圓形開口受到了羅馬萬神殿的啟發（“萬神殿”也是建築設計的工作名稱）。屋頂設計採用透明，輕質的聚合物材料製成，可調節其不透明度以控制光線，而大部分外部將採用透明聚合物或玻璃，以便可以看到外部。中東廣場和上碗在東端區被淘汰，以便能夠一覽無餘的亞特蘭大天際線景觀。
亞特蘭大聯隊FC總經理吉姆史密斯表示，該設計從一開始就是“足球”，指向收縮的下碗座以擴大場地，機械化窗簾將容量限制在42,500左右，使體育場感覺更親密。
體育場還包括特定於大學橄欖球使用的功能。它開放了兩個超大的更衣室，每個更衣室可容納100名球員，反映了與NFL相比更大的大學足球名單。然而，體育場最初並沒有包含另外一個重要的特徵 – 將座位連接到場地的樓梯，使得樂隊難以進入場地進行半場表演（大多數NFL球隊，包括獵鷹隊，沒有樂隊）。根據ESPN的說法，“你可以打賭，在[2017] Chick-fil-A Kickoff Games揭露了這一疏忽之後，現在樓梯已經到了。”
該體育場設有一個Chick-fil-A位置，一個著名的周日休息的公司，儘管它的主要租戶Falcons在星期天玩他們的大部分主場比賽。當獵鷹隊有一個週一晚上或週四晚上的主場比賽，以及亞特蘭大聯合足球俱樂部的非週日主場比賽和體育場的其他活動時，該位置打開。週日，數字標牌將被翻轉，特許經營商Levy Restaurants將在該地點出售非品牌食品和飲料。
Official Atlanta Falcons Mercedes-Benz Stadium Construction Time-Lapse
From: EarthCam
Construction delays
The Mercedes-Benz Stadium’s projected opening date was delayed three times due to the complexity of the eight-panel retractable roof. The stadium was originally intended to open on March 1, 2017; however, the opening date was later delayed to June 1, 2017, then to July 30, 2017, and then to August 26, 2017. Steve Cannon, CEO of the Atlanta Falcons’ parent company AMB Group, stated that the Falcons’ preseason schedule and the Chick-fil-a Kickoff Games would not be affected by the new opening date; however, three of Atlanta United’s matches would be affected. The July 30 game against Orlando City SC was moved to Atlanta United’s interim home of Bobby Dodd Stadium for July 29 while two home matches scheduled in August were moved to later dates. Additionally, the Georgia Dome’s demolition was put on hold until the new stadium’s certificate of occupancy could be issued. On June 9, 2017, stadium officials announced that they were confident that Mercedes-Benz Stadium would open as scheduled, and demolition of the Georgia Dome had resumed, and the Dome was imploded on the morning of November 20, 2017.
On July 25, 2017, stadium officials reported that the roof would be in the closed position during the Falcons’ preseason games and the Chick-fil-A Kickoff games while contractors continue to fine tune the roof to allow all eight panels to work in sync. Falcons’ President Rich McKay also stated that the roof would remain closed whenever outside temperatures exceed 80 °F (27 °C). On August 16, 2017, WXIA reported that construction of the retractable roof system was intentionally delayed by stadium and construction officials to ensure the roof’s long term operability and to ensure that other parts of the stadium would be completed on time.
On September 10, 2017, the Falcons announced that, contrary to earlier plans, the stadium roof would in fact be open during the Falcons home opener on September 17 against the Green Bay Packers if weather permitted. On October 6, 2017, stadium officials announced that the roof would be opened, weather permitting, for Atlanta United’s regular season finale against Toronto FC on October 22; stadium officials also stated that the roof would remain closed for the remainder of the Falcons’ regular season as well as for any home matches hosted by Atlanta United during the 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs as contractors continue to work on fully mechanizing the roof.
施工延誤
由於八面板可伸縮屋頂的複雜性，梅賽德斯 – 奔馳體育場的預計開放日期被推遲了三次。該體育場原定於2017年3月1日開放;然而，開幕日期後來延遲到2017年6月1日，然後到2017年7月30日，然後到2017年8月26日。亞特蘭大獵鷹隊母公司AMB集團首席執行官史蒂夫·坎農表示，獵鷹隊的季前賽日程表新的開幕日期不會影響Chick-fil-a Kickoff Games;然而，亞特蘭大聯隊的三場比賽將受到影響。 7月30日對陣奧蘭多城市隊的比賽將於7月29日轉移到亞特蘭大聯隊的Bobby Dodd體育場臨時主場，而8月份的兩場主場比賽將被轉移到以後的日期。此外，喬治亞圓頂屋的拆除工作被擱置，直到新體育場的入住證明可以簽發。 2017年6月9日，體育場官員宣布，他們相信梅賽德斯 – 奔馳體育場將按計劃開放，並且喬治亞圓頂屋的拆除工作已經恢復，圓頂體於2017年11月20日上午爆炸。
2017年7月25日，體育場官員報告說，在獵鷹隊的季前賽和Chick-fil-A Kickoff比賽期間，屋頂將處於關閉狀態，而承包商繼續微調屋頂以允許所有八個面板同步工作。 Falcons總裁Rich McKay還表示，當室外溫度超過80°F（27°C）時，屋頂將保持關閉狀態。 2017年8月16日，WXIA報告說，體育場和施工官員有意推遲建造可伸縮屋頂系統，以確保屋頂的長期可操作性，並確保體育場的其他部分按時完工。
2017年9月10日，獵鷹公司宣布，與早先的計劃相反，如果天氣允許，9月17日獵鷹隊主場揭幕戰期間，體育場的屋頂將在綠灣包裝工隊開放。 2017年10月6日，體育場官員宣布，如果天氣允許，將於10月22日在亞特蘭大聯隊對陣多倫多足球俱樂部的常規賽季結束時打開屋頂;體育場官員還表示，在2017年MLS杯季后賽期間，由於承包商繼續致力於全面機械化屋頂，因此Falcons常規賽的剩餘時間以及亞特蘭大聯隊在2017年MLS杯季后賽期間舉辦的任何主場比賽將保持關閉。

Additional construction and renovations
Hoping to address concerns of overcrowding at the ingress and egress areas of the stadium, stadium officials announced that they plan to add several more doors to the stadium. Overcrowding and congestion was a frequent concern and complaint from fans attending major events during the stadium’s first year of operation. Fans attending the College Football National Championship game reported significant delays in both entering and exiting the stadium, with some reporting wait times that exceeded 45 minutes to get out of the stadium at the completion of the game.
Pedestrian bridge
A pedestrian Bridge, that will provide access from parking lots and a MARTA station located off of Northside Dr., is currently under construction. When completed, the bridge will allow pedestrians a direct path from the Vine City MARTA station to the northwest side entrance into the stadium. Cost for the pedestrian bridge is US$24 million.
Retractable roof
Several reports of the roof leaking during the stadium’s inaugural season have caused some issues for the stadium’s design team. During the College Football National Championship Game in January 2018, several media outlets reported a significant leak that appeared to be occurring just over the field of play near the 25-yard line. Bill Hancock, College Football Playoff Executive Director, said that he and his team had been made aware of the issue concerning water leaking from the roof and that he believed that the issue did not affect the field of play during the game. Neither team competing in the game reported any issues with the playing surface.
Stadium officials clarified after the initial leaks that were reported back in October 2017 that the issue was not a “leak” but rather a “few drops of water” that were falling from the roof around isolated parts of the stadium. Officials stated that the issue was due to the fact that the roof was still not fully mechanized yet, and that the issues would be fixed before the Falcons’ 2018 season. They also stated that the issues were common for newly constructed stadiums with retractable roofs.

Since the retractable roof was one of the major features and design points of the stadium, some of the problems with the roof have been magnified in the stadium’s first year of operation. The roof, which is supposed to open in as little as 12 minutes with the push of a button, was not fully operational by the time the stadium’s primary tenants, the Atlanta Falcons and the Atlanta United FC, seasons began. The roof was required to be mechanically opened, which was a very time consuming process. As such, the roof was only opened twice in its first year of use, once for an Atlanta Falcons game – a Sunday Night Football game against the Green Bay Packers on September 17, 2017 and a nationally televised MLS soccer game, when the Atlanta United FC hosted Toronto FC in a sold out game of more than 70,000 fans on October 22, 2017.
However, President of the Atlanta Falcons, Rich McKay told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he expects all issues with the roof to be completely resolved before the Atlanta Falcons season starts in 2018. McKay said he expects the fixes to allow the stadium to be used as a more “open air” environment for Falcons home games. “The roof is being worked on as we speak and yes we expect the roof to be fully operational by football season, if not well before,” McKay told the AP. “Fully operational means you will see us go to much more of an open configuration as we designed at the beginning. When it’s ready to go, we’ll be open depending on weather.”
On May 29, 2018, the roof was opened for the first time since October 2017 for construction purposes. Stadium officials stated that the roof would be open for 10 days, regardless of weather, to complete work on automating the roof. After the 10-day construction period, an unspecified time frame would be required for final commissioning work, after of which, operation of the roof would be turned over to stadium officials. On July 25, 2018, in a demonstration to members of the media, the roof was opened and closed for the first time as intended, with both procedures taking approximately eight minutes each.

梅賽德斯 – 奔馳體育場屋頂於2018年10月
額外的建築和裝修
希望解決體育場入口和出口地區過度擁擠的問題，體育場官員宣布他們計劃在體育場增加幾扇門。在體育場運營的第一年，參加重大活動的球迷經常擔心過度擁擠和擁擠。參加大學橄欖球全國錦標賽比賽的球迷報告說，進入和離開球場都有顯著延遲，一些報導等待時間超過45分鐘，在比賽結束時離開球場。
人行天橋
一條人行天橋目前正在建設中，該橋將提供停車場和位於Northside Dr.附近的MARTA站。完工後，這座橋將允許行人從Vine City MARTA站到西北側入口進入體育場。人行天橋的成本為2400萬美元。
伸縮式屋頂
在體育場的首個賽季期間，有幾個關於屋頂漏水的報導給體育場的設計團隊帶來了一些問題。在2018年1月的大學橄欖球全國冠軍賽期間，一些媒體報導稱，在25碼線附近的比賽場地上發生了嚴重的洩漏。大學橄欖球季后賽執行主任比爾漢考克說，他和他的團隊已經意識到屋頂漏水的問題，他認為這個問題並沒有影響比賽期間的比賽。在比賽中參加比賽的球隊都沒有報告任何與比賽場地有關的問題。
在2017年10月報導的最初洩漏事件後，體育場官員澄清說，問題不是“洩漏”，而是從體育場的孤立部分周圍的屋頂掉下來的“幾滴水”。有關官員表示，問題在於屋頂尚未完全機械化，而且問題將在獵鷹2018賽季之前得到解決。他們還指出，這些問題對於新建的帶有可伸縮屋頂的體育場來說很常見。
梅賽德斯 – 奔馳體育場屋頂於2018年10月
由於可伸縮屋頂是體育場的主要特徵和設計點之一，屋頂的一些問題在體育場的第一年運營中被放大了。在體育場的主要租戶亞特蘭大獵鷹隊和亞特蘭大聯隊的賽季開始之際，屋頂只需按一下按鈕即可在短短12分鐘內打開。屋頂需要機械打開，這是一個非常耗時的過程。因此，屋頂僅在其使用的第一年開放兩次，一次用於亞特蘭大獵鷹隊的比賽 – 2017年9月17日對陣綠灣包裝工隊的周日晚上足球比賽以及全國電視轉播的MLS足球比賽，當時亞特蘭大聯隊FC於2017年10月22日在多倫多足球俱樂部舉辦了超過70,000名球迷的比賽。
然而，亞特蘭大獵鷹隊主席Rich McKay告訴亞特蘭大日報 – 憲法他預計在2018年亞特蘭大獵鷹隊賽季開始之前，屋頂的所有問題都將得到徹底解決.McKay說他希望這些修補程序允許使用體育場作為Falcons主場比賽更加“開放空氣”的環境。 “當我們說話時，屋頂正在進行中，是的，我們希望屋頂能夠在足球賽季完全投入使用，如果不是很好的話，”麥凱告訴美聯社。 “完全可操作意味著你會看到我們在開始時設計的更多開放配置。當它準備就緒時，我們將根據天氣開放。”
2018年5月29日，屋頂自2017年10月以來首次開放，用於建築。體育場官員表示，無論天氣如何，屋頂都將開放10天，以完成屋頂自動化的工作。在為期10天的施工期後，最後的調試工作將需要一個未指定的時間框架，之後，屋頂的操作將被移交給體育場官員。 2018年7月25日，在對媒體成員的示威活動中，屋頂首次按預期打開和關閉，兩個程序各約需8分鐘。

Costs and funding
In December 2014, the Georgia World Congress Center’s board of governors approved a resolution to raise the cost of the stadium to US$1.2 billion. The stadium was initially slated to cost US$1 billion, then rose to US$1.2 billion in October 2013.
The city has agreed to contribute US$200 million in stadium bonds, but with additional tax revenues and with the state of Georgia contributing US$40 million for parking expansion, public spending is expected to reach near US$600 million.
In January 2015, the Falcons announced the sale of personal seat licenses (PSL) costing up to US$45,000 per seat, depending on the section of the stadium. The most expensive tickets are priced at US$385 per game, in addition to one-time PSL fees, for the first three years.
On August 21, 2015, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Mercedes-Benz would acquire the naming rights for the stadium, and this was later confirmed by a press conference at the stadium site on August 24. Under the stadium deal with the city of Atlanta and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority, the Falcons organization controls the stadium’s naming rights and receives all related revenue. Then-Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Steve Cannon, who would subsequently join the Falcons’ organization in 2016 as CEO of AMB Group, stated that the sponsorship would last 27 years, calling it the largest marketing deal in Mercedes-Benz’ history, but Cannon would not disclose the full value of the deal; however, Sports Business Daily reported in February 2016 that the naming rights contract was valued at US$324 million. Mercedes-Benz also holds a 10-year naming rights contract for the former Louisiana Superdome signed in 2011.
成本和資金
2014年12月，佐治亞世界會議中心的理事會批准了一項決議，將體育場的費用提高到12億美元。該體育場最初計劃耗資10億美元，然後在2013年10月升至12億美元。
該市已經同意向體育場債券捐款2億美元，但隨著額外的稅收收入和佐治亞州為停車擴張貢獻了4000萬美元，公共支出預計將達到近6億美元。
2015年1月，Falcons宣佈出售個人座位執照（PSL），每個座位的費用高達45,000美元，具體取決於體育場的部分。除了一次性PSL費用之外，最昂貴的門票價格為每場385美元，前三年。
2015年8月21日，亞特蘭大憲法報導梅賽德斯 – 奔馳將獲得該體育場的冠名權，後來於8月24日在體育場舉行的新聞發布會上證實了這一點。亞特蘭大和佐治亞州世界會議中心管理局，Falcons組織控制著體育場的命名權並獲得所有相關收入。然後梅賽德斯 – 奔馳美國公司首席執行官史蒂夫·卡農（Steve Cannon）隨後將於2016年加入獵鷹公司，擔任AMB集團首席執行官，表示贊助將持續27年，稱其為梅賽德斯 – 奔馳歷史上最大的營銷協議，但佳能不會透露交易的全部價值;然而，“體育商業日報”於2016年2月報導稱，該冠名權合同的價值為3.24億美元。梅賽德斯 – 奔馳還與2011年簽署的前路易斯安那超級巨星簽訂了為期10年的冠名權合同。
