Mercedes-Benz Stadium’s one-of-a-kind roof had its latest milestone over the weekend, moving from an open position to a closed one. This was the first major test of the roof and it was highly successful.

Steve Cannon, CEO, AMB Group, tweeted out pictures of the progress on Saturday – with the roof partially open and then one closed. Check them out below.

Here is one as the roof is closing:
