Mercedes-Benz Stadium has been a huge success for the city of Atlanta in terms of drawing tourists to the city, providing a new home for the Atlanta Falcons, being named the home stadium for new MLS club Atlanta United FC, and being selected as the host of the Super Bowl in 2019.
Falcons and Atlanta United FC’s owner Arthur Blank sent out a public letter to fans expressing his gratitude for them for embracing the new venue over the past year. Blank was proud of the Falcons’ efforts in appearing in the playoffs for a second straight season along with Atlanta United getting into the playoffs in their inaugural season.
