Stadiums with Revolutionary Designs Shaping the Future of Sports

10. Mercedes-Benz Stadium – The 360-Degree Experience (Atlanta, USA)

As the home of the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons and MLS’s Atlanta United, Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, represents the future of smart stadiums, blending cutting-edge technology, sustainability, and fan-first experiences into a revolutionary sports and entertainment venue. Opened in 2017, it is one of the most advanced stadiums in the world, redefining what a modern sports venue can offer. Its retractable roof, inspired by a camera lens, consists of eight interlocking panels that open and close in under 10 minutes, allowing for seamless adaptation to weather conditions. Unlike traditional dome stadiums, this design gives fans the feeling of being outdoors while still offering protection from the elements when necessary. One of the stadium’s most groundbreaking features is its 360-degree halo video board, which encircles the roof structure, offering an uninterrupted, immersive viewing experience for every spectator. At 58 feet tall and 1,100 feet in circumference, it is the largest LED display in professional sports, ensuring that no fan misses a second of the action.
