A Year Later: Stadium Progress 'Tremendous'

Since breaking ground on May 19, 2014, incredible progress has been made on the new Atlanta stadium. Staying on schedule to successfully open in March of 2017 requires intense focus, organization and teamwork according to Bill Darden, president of Darden & Company, the developer’s representative firm overseeing all of the design and construction activity on the new stadium project.

Representatives from the stadium project team, from contractors to designers, assemble for a five hour meeting every Tuesday to review a work schedule that can be up to 90 pages long. These meetings ensure that all of the unique disciplines are communicating, working in conjunction with each other, and performing on schedule.
