Falcons stadium roof problems.

Each of the four main trusses rise 72 feet from the floor. The roof required 1 8 million pounds of trusses over 21 000 tons of steel and the world s largest movable crane to put it all together. The atlanta falcons 1 5 billion 75 000 seat mercedes benz stadium is facing a potential additional delay due to problems with its retractable roof according to the atlanta journal constitution. But it appears the offseason was a good one for the stadium.

Game and the thing had problems opening and closing. The possibility of further such adjustments raises some obvious questions including whether the falcons could play in the stadium before the roof is operable or whether they might have to play. The stadium officially opened on august 26 2017 with a falcons preseason game against the arizona cardinals despite the retractable roof system being incomplete at the time.
