"Mercedes-Benz Stadium opening is pushed back again"

"Construction issues have delayed the opening of Mercedes-Benz Stadium for a third time.

Steve Cannon, CEO of Atlanta Falcons parent company AMB Group, said Tuesday that the opening will be pushed back from July 30, when an Atlanta United soccer match was to have been played in the new stadium, to Aug. 26, when a Falcons pre-season game is scheduled to be played there.

Cannon also confirmed that “decommissioning” and demolition of the Georgia Dome have been put on hold “until we are 100 percent certain of achieving our certificate of occupancy.”

“This really does represent an insurance policy,” he said. “We do not expect to use the Georgia Dome whatsoever.”

The $1.5 billion retractable-roof stadium was originally scheduled to open on March 1. That was pushed back to June 1 and then pushed back again to July 30...

 

Cannon said the plan now calls for the stadium to open with Falcons’ pre-season games vs. Arizona on Aug. 26 and vs. Jacksonville on Aug. 31.

He said the Chick-fil-A Kickoff college-football games Sept. 2 and 4 are still scheduled for the new stadium.

Under the latest revised schedule, Atlanta United’s match previously scheduled for July 30 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium will be played at Georgia Tech’s Bobby Stadium on July 29. Two Atlanta United games that had been scheduled for Mercedes-Benz Stadium in August will be rescheduled by Major League Soccer for later dates in the new stadium, Cannon said."

I wish they could've gotten that joint up and running on 3-28.

A guy I knew was about to put on a Falcons jersey this morning. 

I reminded him it was a choking hazard.

It would have been open a few days, then collapsed on the 4th.

Apparently the building has settled, creating a shift of several inches in the roof

Buildings settle so you'd think there should have been plans for this. Apparently not.

 

Can't fix stupid.

The real irony in all of this is that if the Falcons had "settled" for a fg, they'd have a Lombardi now.

Well that started off strong a fizzled out. Like the Falcons blowing a 28 point lead in the SB.
