Donate your shoelaces and unite as one community for the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, set to open in 2017.
The Falcons and Atlanta United have commissioned acclaimed artist Nari Ward to create a work made entirely of shoelaces collected from our local communities. The finished piece will be showcased prominently in a concourse at the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium and will represent the collective voice of our entire community. Examples of Ward’s work are below.
Collection stations for new or used adult-length shoelaces will be located at Atlanta Falcons XFINITY® Training Camp practices or the Friday Night Lights open practice on Friday, August 5 at 6 p.
