The picture makes it look like they got a giant spider to build a stadium using its web.

Edit: Top of the page, this is what I'm talking about:

At first I was hesitant about this stadium, but damn those lastest photos and videos uploaded are killer. One of my new favorite stadiums...after Lambeau Field of course.

Where are the banners ?

They should hang banners for the years Nitro won the Monday Night Wars.

Atlanta United will try to set the MLS single-game attendance record when it hosts Orlando City on September 16th at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The record of 69,255 was established April 13th, 1996 in a game between Los Angeles Galaxy and the New York/New Jersey MetroStars at the Rose Bowl.

As part of a tour Tuesday of the $1.5 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium that will become the team’s home, Atlanta United President Darren Eales said, “Would love to be able to set that record. We have the ability to go to 70,000 and we are hoping to be able to do that with our amazing fan base.”

In its first season in MLS and playing previously at Georgia Tech’s Bobby Dodd Stadium, Atlanta United leads MLS in average attendance (46,318).

The stadium will typically be configured to host 42,000 for home games, but it will expand the seating to 70,000 for at least two games. The other will be the regular season finale against Toronto on October 22nd.

Grand opening of Mercedes-Benz Stadium is taking place today, as the Falcons take on the Cardinals in a preseason game:

Mercedes-Benz Stadium officials announced Sunday night that the roof would be open during next week's Atlanta Falcons home opener against the Green Bay Packers.

This will be the time that the stadium's retractable roof will be open in the new facility, and the first time the Falcons have played an open-air game in the city in 25 years.

The last time the Falcons played an outside game in Atlanta was Dec. 15, 1991, before they moved into the then-new Georgia Dome in 1992.

The roof will be open, weather permitting, for the game, which is set for Sunday at 8:30 pm, and which can be seen on 11Alive.

Bottling RO water always seemed kinda iffy to me.

 

[TheCochese]

I like Dasani. I don't think there's a bottled water I don't like though.
