Atlanta Falcons
Two-dollar hot dogs and a roof that looks like a spaceship. We're not gonna bring up 28-3. Okay, we just did.
Upcoming Events
Mercedes-Benz Stadium looks like a giant mechanical eye opening toward the sky, and when that eight-petal retractable roof starts moving, you feel like you're inside a supervillain's lair. In the best way. This place is one of the most visually stunning sports venues on the planet, and the Falcons get to call it home.
The best thing about Mercedes-Benz Stadium - besides the architecture - might be the food prices. The Falcons pioneered the "fan-first pricing" model where hot dogs are two bucks and beers are five. Not a typo. While every other NFL stadium charges you $16 for a domestic tall boy, you're eating and drinking at actual reasonable prices. It's revolutionary and every other team should be embarrassed they haven't followed suit.
Falcons fans are resilient. We're not going to bring up 28-3 (okay, we just did), but the fact that this fanbase came back from that heartbreak and still fills the stadium says everything about Atlanta. The energy at Mercedes-Benz on a Sunday is pure Southern football atmosphere - the chants echo off that massive video board, and when the Falcons defense gets a big stop, the crowd noise is deafening.
Before the game, check out the bars and restaurants in Castleberry Hill or head down to Centennial Park. Antico Pizza is a pregame favorite. After the game, Edgewood Avenue and Ponce City Market are where Atlanta's nightlife kicks in. Find Falcons tickets on Evil Tickets. ATL knows how to show up.
