About Atlanta's Black History and Civil Rights Tour

Located in downtown Atlanta, Mercedes-Benz Stadium is a new landmark for the city of Atlanta and even the state of Georgia. Its architectural appearance presents a modern geometric shape. According to the needs of venue competitions, the petal-shaped ceiling at the top can be opened or closed in time, bringing the audience both indoor and outdoor viewing experiences. The stadium is home to the Atlanta Falcons football team and the Atlanta United football team. Depending on the season, there will be exciting rugby and football games in turns. Between seasons, the venue can also be used as a performance center. Interestingly, the stadium also has a special tour that is open to visitors throughout the year. In this 90-minute behind-the-scenes tour, visitors will step on the football field, players' lounge, VIP room, etc. up close, feel the sweat of the idols, and listen to some little-known behind-the-scenes stories of the stadium.
