Mercedes-Benz Stadium stadium information: Home of the Atlanta Falcons in NFL. Located in Atlanta, GA with a capacity of 71,000 seats. The stadium has retractable roof and faces 0 degrees. Built in 2017.
For a day game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the behind home plate falls into shade first. The coolest seats are on that side, in the back rows under the upper-deck overhang, and in any fully covered or club-level sections. Evening games leave most of the park shaded by first pitch.
