Mercedes-Benz Stadium

The basics

The best way to experience the stadium is to attend a game or concert, and take your pick of more than 70,000 seats; you can also catch the action on-screen—there’s a 58-foot (18-meter) tall HD video board, the largest in the world, and more than 2,000 digital displays—and pre-game in the 100,000-square-foot (9,290-square-meter) tailgating lot. Tours of the stadium are also available, and include a behind-the-scenes look at the field, the locker rooms, and other premium locations.

Things to know before you go

• The stadium is designed to be accessible for visitors with disabilities, with ADA parking, accessible gates, wheelchair and companion seating on all levels, and assistive listening devices.

The Atlanta Falcons season typically runs from early September to late December, while the Atlanta United FC season usually runs from late February to mid-October.
