"Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, is a spectacular sports venue with a stunning exterior that will be one of the architectural highlights for visitors in the United States for World Cup 2026. It was officially opened in 2017, has a retractable roof inspired by the Roman Pantheon, according to the man behind the design, and boasts seating for 75,000 fans."
"The stadium is best known as the home of the Atlanta Falcons but is also used regularly for football as the permanent home of Atlanta's top men's soccer club and an as-yet-unnamed NWSL expansion side in 2028. Mercedes-Benz Stadium is the successor of the Georgia Dome, where the 1996 Atlanta Games were held 30 years before the World Cup comes to town."
"2026 will be the state of Georgia's first time as a World Cup host city. With the Olympics on the horizon, Atlanta did not serve as a venue in 1994. Unlike the old Georgia Dome, Mercedes-Benz Stadium was built with soccer in mind and has hosted matches regularly since it opened. The home of the Falcons will welcome fans for seven World Cup matches, ranging from the group stage to a semi-final in July."
