The Falcon's Stadium Is Being Delayed. The Issue? The Retractable Roof.

Whenever one looks at the new Falcons stadium, one simply can't help picturing Matty Meltdown's rear end on that fateful game day. It simply looks like a huge butthole basking itself in the air of Atlanta.

Apparently, that roof may be the sole reason the stadium's finish date may likely be 'butted' back.

According to 11Alive’s partners at the Atlanta Business Chronicle, the Atlanta Falcons have been informed by the Georgia World Congress Center Authority that the stadium’s retractable roof is being “evaluated.” The GWCCA is the body that will own the completed stadium.

Metal panels for the roof are supposed to be able to open and close completely in less than 10 minutes, allowing for open-air games. But the Business Chronicle reports that the complex design has forced another delay for the stadium, which was supposed to open this month. That timeline has now been pushed back.

Looks like retractable roofs that look like huge clamped buttholes aren't exactly the easiest thing to make. A huge blow in the rearend for the Failcons.

Oh, and the Falcons blew a 25 point lead in the Superbowl.

You young'uns probably don't know this, but back in the 70's Montreal was chosen as the site of the 1976 Summer Olympics.  They broke ground on their Olympic Stadium that was designed to have a retractable roof in 1973.

They didn't complete the retractable roof until 1987 and it didn't open for the first time until 1988.

You go, Artie Blank... lol.

Even having the option to close the roof of your stadium when you are below the mason Dixon line is an abomination that should be punished by demotion to the CFL. It's football. Man up and play in the elements

A closed roof or dome will get your city a super bowl and final four! Hell, I wish we had one!

    • I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner. 
    • How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.
    • I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
