As the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium continues to rise downtown, plans also are moving forward to demolish the Falcons’ current home next door.
In a briefing to the Georgia World Congress Center Authority board about the stadium project Tuesday, key members of the construction team said a Georgia Dome demolition contract likely will be awarded by August of this year. Pre-qualification of prospective bidders is scheduled to be completed in March, followed by a bid process.
Wayne Wadsworth, principal in charge for stadium general contractor Holder Hunt Russell Moody, and Bill Darden, the Falcons’ stadium project executive, told the board that they expect the Dome demolition to be partly by implosion.
