Indeed, the state-of-the-art architecture, including the retractable roof, 360-degree scoreboard, and excellent sightlines from most seats. We found the restrooms accessible on each level. A variety of food choices are available at each concourse level. Use the stadium's interactive concession map (available on the Mercedes-Benz Stadium app or official website listings), which shows all food vendors by section -- including vendor type symbols that mark vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-friendly options. At ATL Fan Fare healthier options include Buffalo cauliflower wraps and vegan hot dogs. and salads. The ATL Grill offers a portobello mushroom burger. Mercedes-Benz Stadium partners with local Atlanta restaurants to bring authentic city flavors into the venue, often at prices comparable to the actual restaurants so you're not just eating stadium food, you're tasting Atlanta. My niece enjoyed Hibachi at so:ko:me and my sister and enjoyed a burger at Atl grill. There are many well-known restaurants like Moe's Fox Bros Williamson Brothers, Big Dave's cheesesteaks, Chick-fil-A, etc. available as well as dessert and beer places. The stadium has many escalators to get to your seats and handrails when climbing if you have seats that are far up in your section. The seats themselves are comfortable but the walking aisle is narrow. If you sit near the middle of a row know that you will have to stand to let others in and out of your row. Because if inflation and rising ticket prices, the best non premium seats are in the 200 level: 210-213, 236-239) . These seats offer the best balance of price and viewing. However, if you are on a budget good seats can be had in the upper 300 level: (310-313, 336-339) . These sections offer a good view of the huge Halo board for play replays and interactive games provided by stadium staff during the game. Here are a few tips to make sure your game day experience goes well: Most fans recommend taking MARTA rail (Blue/Green lines) to the GWCC/State Farm Arena or Vine City stations, which drop you right at the stadium. It avoids heavy parking traffic and costs. If you must drive, reserve your spot through apps like ParkMobile ahead of time to guarantee a lot and avoid congestion. Independent apps like Prked can also rent private driveways near the stadium and save time. Avoid bringing large bags -- clear, small bags only are allowed, and having none gets you through security faster. Download the Official Atlanta United / Mercedes-Benz Stadium app to find your seat, locate food & restrooms, see points of interest, and even mobile order concessions. In short, Mercedes-Benz Stadium offers a fan-friendly experience with excellent transit access, affordable food, electric supporter culture, and nearby entertainment options, making it one of the top sports venues to visit in the U.S.

I was impressed by how clean the bathrooms were, and the cup holders at every seat are such a nice touch! If you're picking seats, the 200s side view was great. The big center screen is awesome, though it might be a little "in your face" if you're up in the 100s. Just a heads up, the outside merch booths are a bit hard to find, so keep an eye out. Also if your driving definitely recommend getting there a bit early and purchasing a parking ticket early so you don't get a higher price day of.

My opinion of this place changed a lot when I went to my latest show here. When I arrived I was…read moreabsolutely shocked at how long the security line was. I had never seen anything like it. It went down the street the length of the arena and then even went around the corner while moving so slowly. The problem is that their security is what security would've been 20 years ago. They make you empty your pockets and even take off your watch before you go through a metal detector. For one person that's not a big deal but compound that over and over again and it causes a huge back up. At a modern facility people can just walk through without having to do that nonsense and a sophisticated system will spot threats. There's absolutely no motivation for the arena to do that though because of their partnership with Clear, which lets you have a separate, shorter line like they do at the airport. And of course they also have Clear sales people wandering around trying to push memberships on you. It felt very slimy and gross. The reason I didn't hit this before is I like to show up in the middle of opening acts. Get here on time and you are in big trouble. I also thought it was incredibly bizarre how one of the ushers tried to stop me from exiting when I wanted to take a restroom break between songs during a concert. She said "I can't have you leave right now". At this point I have been holding it for over two hours and I was leaving no matter what. Just ridiculous. If they would change some of their policies this would be a good arena.

This place is pretty big and not too far from the mall with a great view. A lot of parking spaces usually where there is an event here they have the concession stand up and running and small business selling items as well, depending on what the event consist of. Again, this particular event brought me here because of the jobs there so there were pros and cons lots of volunteers and people to help assist, but if you ask me, it could've been a lot a lot a lot more more organized it lacked badly . I'm not sure if it was not enough volunteers or enough directions that went around the job fair started at 9 AM. It was over at 3 PM. I arrived at around noon made it in pretty quickly and I was instructed where to go. After that, you were pretty much left to fish for yourself no real signs on what was being 100% offered or if you should join the line no information about how many people they were looking to hire per each position or what kind of background would be needed we were just told pretty much. It's a job fair and had to mingle for ourselves.

Two of my favorites are WINTER JAM 2024 & Hockey games with my husband. This stadium has excellent appeal and is easy to get to. Parking is abundant both outdoor and garages. Once inside you are able to find your seating with the assistance of ushers and other staff. They even have handicap valets to get you to the proper seating. I can say I have had seats midway in the decks all the way to floor seats center. The massive screens allowed me to never miss a shot or singer. This arena offers season tickets for the hockey fan. Or VIP meet & greets for the music lovers in us all.

Once you get into the parking lot which is shared with the Marriott hotel, there is no organization whatsoever. People were parking on the sidewalk, and any piece of grass. It took us about 20 mins to find a parking spot. Clear bags are strictly enforced for women so don't bother bringing your cute purse. I had a small makeup bag and they allowed me to bring that inside. Based on what I could see alcoholic beverages were for sale but the lines were so long we didn't waste time trying to purchase a drink. We had floor seats and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The floor seats are folding chairs side by side. Thankfully we were close enough to the stage to see everything up close. We arrived over an hour after the show had started and so I was not surprised someone was sitting in our seats. The staff member who led us to our seat advocated for us and made sure the couple moved to their own seats and vacated ours. The comedy show was excellent, very funny. Leaving the building took a while but the real nightmare was getting out the parking lot, it took about 30 minutes. Overall not a horrible experience but they need a better process to get in and out of the parking area. I will never attend another event here on a week day unless I have time to arrive extra early.

Unfortunately it was a rainy evening so everything was soaked, but we weren't going to let that ruin our 1 hour drive to see Tom Keifer. The venue is VERY small. Not sure of the capacity, but I will say that the best places to sit is in the center even if you are in the last row. We were seated stage right 2nd row and couldn't really see anything thanks to the pillars at the front of the stage and also the equipment blocking the view. Word of warning.....I was initially bummed I couldn't get Row 1 when I searched for tickets...when I got there, I was ecstatic I didn't get Row 1. I would be so upset if I paid for front row seats and had to essentially sit on the ground. Row 1 had to sit on the wet ground...it was the ledge/wall type thing with fake grass and brick. Row 2 was the first row with actual seats. It appears that all of the sections are this way. 1 row no chairs (sit on the ground) 1 row chairs, then repeat. The good part is the money spent there goes to the school. So that's awesome. The other good part is the bathrooms! there's no line and they are much bigger than you would expect, they are clean AND it's air conditioned. Concession ladies weren't the nicest. Before the show was over (even before the last song prior to the encore started), I went up to buy a water and was told they were closed. They are losing a lot of money by turning it away that early. I didn't sit VIP, but glad I didn't. The website describes the "Suites" as something awesome....What it actually is, is a tailgating tent for each "Suite" with a high top table and chairs, a bucket of bud light type beer, and a buffet setup across the way catered by Golden Corral. There's no fans, no AC, not indoors...not what one expects to receive for that kind of money. Over all the venue is just ok - It's very nice and new from a looks perspective, but not very professionally handled. It's nice in theory, but needs work. Oh right..the show - it started over half an hour late and then there were amp issues the whole night. Not sure I would go back here.

I hadn't been back here since it was the Braves stadium. It was really easy to find our seats and we had a good view of the entire field. The seats are a bit tight and hard, but it was a baseball stadium. I think discomfort in the seats is expected. I did get food while here. They had some food trucks inside and other companies set up selling food. The prices were to be expected. The food quality was really good. I want to say I paid right under $5 for ice cream and I wasn't at all surprised. The main entrance is very open, so we took time to sit out there on some steps to get away from our seats for a minute. It wasn't very busy so it was like a mini break from reality. I'd come back here again for an event. The space is really clean and open. The restrooms were clean too. The directional signs were on point and helpful.

Since it's a boy's tournament, the ladies room stayed clean and mostly empty. The usual concession stands, but with airport prices. There is a lot of development going up around it, but Chick-fil-a and Wendy's are already open right across the street. I was surprised by what a picturesque setting it is. It looks like they made an effort to keep as many of the giant trees as undisturbed as possible. Really beautiful.
