After being chosen to make our third straight College Football Playoff appearance, we traveled to Atlanta, Georgia to watch the Oklahoma Sooners compete against the LSU Tigers in the Peach Bowl. On the day of the game, we approached the stadium and I was astonished at the unique design of the exterior. Once we entered the massive stadium, we noticed many innovations that separated this stadium from other football stadiums. Instead of having a jumbotron on one end of the stadium, it was a 360 degree jumbotron that wrapped around the top of the stadium. Along with that, there is a retractable roof that opens if weather permits it to be opened. These examples of the innovative architecture that the stadium provides prove that this is one of the better modern-day stadiums in the United States today.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the home of the annual Peach Bowl game, is unlike any traditional football stadium. This indoor stadium has a unique design on the outside that looks nothing like a traditional stadium. Although the inside appears rather normal, your focus will be drawn to the jumbotron that wraps around the ceiling. Prior to Mercedes-Benz Stadium being built, this was something that has never been seen before in any sports venue. The architects did a fantastic job making sure that every fan is guaranteed a great seat because of the innovative architecture.

Overall, my experience at Mercedes-Benz Stadium was outstanding to say the least. Most of this had to do with the tremendous innovations that enhanced the fan experience. If I ever return to Atlanta, GA in the future, I will make sure to visit Mercedes-Benz Stadium once again.
