Also scrap the white pants, I cant stand them. I know I've said this before, but I wish they would scrap the monochrome look altogether. I wish white and grey jerseys pants had the same green accents the navy's do for consistency, but they would look great going: Home: Blue over Grey Away: White over navy or grey Alt: Grey over blue. It looks so sharp, wish they would try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 What's the seating capacity of the Mercedes Butz Dome? It looks kind of small for what it is. The whole stadium looks like an execution of a gimmick rather than a place to watch sports. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole stadium looks like an execution of a gimmick rather than a place to watch sports. The new MBS is anything but small. 2 million square feet versus 1.6 at the Georgia Dome. Side by side, it dwarfs the old building. Also, it has a really cool feature in one of the endzones with a massive glass wall they're calling the "window to the city." Lets in a lot of natural light. They're doing an open house on Saturday for season ticket holders and I'm exited to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do they figure that it can expand to an extra 12,000 seats? Unless there are sections that will be covered for regular games and only opened for larger events.

I feel the same way about the Saints' endzones too. Indoor teams that play on turf should always have their endzones colored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 All those angled walls on the field are pretty ugly and messy looking. I don't like it. 13 hours ago, BlackBolt3 said: In retrospect, Chuck Taylors did not really work well as a cleat. I believe they used to do that back before fields had heaters under them. Cleats would slide on top of the hard ground like ice skates. Converse allowed them to have them a little better grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The building itself looks huge; it's the seating area that looks comparatively small.

They don't color it because they share it with Atlanta United. Soccer teams on colored turf doesn't work well especially near the goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing they can add in some temporary seats where the "window to the city" is behind the endzone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it will host a multitude of events beyond 10 Falcons games a season. It will host Atlanta United, Super Bowls, SEC Championships, CFP Peach Bowl, the Final Four, concerts, motocross, etc. This gives them the ability to control the climate if necessary but they can open it up when they like. They are working on automating the functionality of the roof and that is expected to debut later this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockstar Matt Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I really like modern/futuristic looking stadiums, so I love this. However, I really wish they painted the endzones solid. If you're not on a grass field, there's no good reason as to why you can't paint the endzones.

Michael Bolton Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I'm absolutely dumbfounded that the Falcons changed literally NOTHING about their brand to coincide with the new stadium. This was the perfect opportunity to update their ultra-early-2000's logo and jerseys or at least go back to the original logo full-time (which I see all over this city every single day; the people here love the throwback look). They didn't even change the ugly double-text end zone. Color me bummed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
