About Atlanta

Mercedes-Benz Stadium has a unique retractable roof made of 8 triangular "petals" that open like a camera shutter. Home to MLS giants Atlanta United, the venue regularly draws 70,000+ to club matches — a proven soccer atmosphere.

Getting to the stadium

MARTA (metro) stops at GWCC/CNN Center and Vine City stations, both ~5 min walk. ATL airport is 20 min on MARTA’s Red Line.

Local tip

💡 Visit the Centennial Olympic Park next to the stadium — legacy of the 1996 Summer Olympics.
