In the last 48 hours the roof has closed at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and it looks incredible!
More facts and figures about the roof’s mechanization:
- The stadium roof may appear to rotate open but it’s an optical illusion, the roof opens by the movement of eight “petals” that slide open in a straight line.
- Each of the moving petals cantilever approximately 200 feet inwards towards the center of the stadium and provide a roof covering when the petals are in the closed position.
- The moveable petal structures are powered by eight mechanized “bogies” which drive the petals along an inner rail and are attached to the outer uplift rail by six roller mechanisms
- In the closed position the petals lock together to form a water tight seal. Each petal structure is clad with air-inflated ETFE pillows.
- ETFE is a highly durable, lightweight fabric that is translucent, allowing for a light filled stadium, even when moveable petals are in the closed position.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium showcases retractable roof
ATLANTA - Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the home of Super Bowl LIII, showcased its one-of-a-kind retractable roof on Wednesday.
Construction crews have been working to complete the final phase of construction on the roof in order for it to be fully operational for the Falcons' 2018 football season and next year's Super Bowl. Now that construction is complete, the stadium showed off the roof Wednesday afternoon with a full opening and closing demonstration.
Problems kept the roof closed on the $1.5 billion stadium for most of the 2017 season. The unique roof, designed to open like a camera lens, was open only for the Falcons' first home regular-season game against Green Bay on Sept. 17. It was closed for all other NFL and college games, including the Peach Bowl, the Southeastern Conference championship game and the national championship game.
"Fully operational means you will see us go to much more of an open configuration as we designed at the beginning," Falcons president and CEO Rich McKay previously said. "When it's ready to go, we'll be open depending on weather."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

About a full calendar year after the Falcons’ new home, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, opened to the public, its retractable roof is finally finished. Construction delays and cost overruns set the project back repeatedly, but it seems good to go.
Watch the most expensive roof in the history of stadium roofs open and close the way it was designed to:

Atlanta Falcons
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Atlanta Falcons are a professional American football team based in Atlanta. The Falcons compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league's National Football Conference (NFC) South division. The Falcons joined the NFL in 1965[4] as an expansion team, after the NFL offered then-owner Rankin Smith a franchise to keep him from joining the rival American Football League (AFL).
In their 51 years of existence, the Falcons have compiled a record of 350–450–6 (341–437–6 in the regular season and 9–13 in the playoffs), winning division championships in 1980, 1998, 2004, 2010, 2012, and 2016. The Falcons have appeared in two Super Bowls, the first being during the 1998 season in Super Bowl XXXIII, where they lost to the Denver Broncos 34–19, and the second being a 34–28 overtime defeat by the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI.
The Falcons' current home field is Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which opened in time for the 2017 season; the team's headquarters and practice facilities are located at a 50-acre site in Flowery Branch, Georgia.
