Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta)

Mercedes-Benz Stadium is a retractable-roof venue in the City of Atlanta (downtown), integrated with the Georgia World Congress Center campus. Standard seating for major events is around 71,000, with configuration to 75,000+ for marquee matches; FIFA and the local host note capacity over 75,000 for World Cup 26™ operations. The stadium anchors a dense district with direct rail access, walkable blocks, and large adjacent event spaces.

Three primary seating levels encircle an international-size pitch under the signature retractable roof. A 360º “halo” video board sits at the roof line, complemented by the 10-story “mega column” and extensive in-bowl displays for replays and stats. Premium areas include the Mercedes-Benz Club and Delta Sky360° Club among others. Acoustics are lively—roof-closed matches get loud quickly. Conditions tip: expect strong A/C and shade when the roof is closed; layers help when moving between concourses and seats.

• Concessions & water: The stadium is cashless (card and mobile only) with cash-to-card kiosks available. Each fan may bring one sealed 500 mL (16.9 oz) water bottle; outside beverages otherwise are restricted. Alcohol service for soccer may end at the 75th minute (when posted).
• Merch & payments: Multiple team stores and retail kiosks operate event-wide; all accept cards and mobile wallets only. 
• Facilities: Ample restrooms (family and gender-inclusive listed), First Aid staffed by EMTs, and mothers’ nursing lounges (plus Mamava pods). 
• Accessibility: Wheelchair/companion seating on all levels; elevator access at multiple gates; wheelchair escorts; assistive listening devices; open captioning; sensory room and sensory bags (KultureCity). ADA shuttles operate from designated lots for major events.

All guests pass through security screening; prohibited items include non-compliant bags, bottles/cans, large lenses, and tobacco/vape products (the campus is smoke-free). Re-entry is not permitted once you exit. For World Cup 26™, entry is mobile-only via the tournament app—tickets are delivered in the FIFA World Cup 26™ app and screenshots are not valid.
