What's new at Mercedes-Benz Stadium

Mercedes-Benz Stadium will be filled with fans this Sunday as the Falcons kick off their season by taking on the Steelers at home. Paul Milliken got a special sneak peek at what's going on to prepare for the weekend's game.

ATLANTA - They’re the three little words we’ve been waiting to hear: Falcons are back!

Our Atlanta Falcons take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at home this Sunday, and Friday morning on Good Day Atlanta, we spent a few hours inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium getting a look at how the team there is preparing for another exciting season.

First up, we toasted the new season with Gordon Barfield, the VP of strategy and corporate development for AMB Sports and Entertainment, who showed us how the Spirited Self-Service Cocktail Bar works. Then, we stepped onto the field with Atlanta Falcons marketing VP Shannon Joyner to run down the list of game themes and upcoming special events. Finally, we wrapped up our morning with AMBSE SVP of ticket sales, service and operations Don Rovak for a look at the reimagined Gallagher Suite and Lounge at Molly B’s.
