 Georgia
Dome
Two years after its opening in 1992, the biggest game in sports
came to Atlanta when the Georgia Dome hosted Super Bowl XXVIII.
Beginning in 1984, a new stadium for the Falcons was discussed.
The Falcons had been playing at Atlanta Fulton County Stadium
since their inception in 1966. The Falcons wanted a new football
only facility because they had to share Atlanta Fulton County
Stadium with the Atlanta Braves (MLB). By 1988, talks
intensified on building a new stadium, and in 1989 approval came
from the state, the Atlanta City Council, and Fulton County
Commission to build a dome stadium. Ground breaking ceremonies
took place on November 22, 1989. The Georgia Dome was completed in
time for the start of the 1992 NFL season.
The Falcons played their first game at the
Georgia Dome on September 6, 1992. Over 70,000 fans filled the
Georgia Dome to see the Falcons play. Three tiers of teal seats
circle the entire gridiron.
 Every
seat from the lower deck to the upper deck has a great view of the
field.
The
roof is made up of Teflon and fiberglass. The
Georgia Dome has many amenities including several food courts, the
In-Zone Restaurant, Kickers Sports Bar, Millers Lodge, over 5,000
club seats, and over 200 luxury suites. After the 2002 season, the
surface of the Georgia Dome was changed from Astroturf to Fieldturf. The Georgia Dome has hosted Super Bowls XXXIV and
XXVIII. It also hosts collegiate bowl games, was the home of the
Atlanta Hawks (NBA, 1998-'99), hosted several Olympic events in
1996, and the NCAA Final Four in 2007.
