Building the World's Most Advanced Sports Arena: Mercedes-Benz Stadium | Blueprint

We go behind the scenes with the team building the world’s most advanced sports arena – the 1.2-billion-pound Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta. It will hold up to 75 thousand fans, incorporate the world’s biggest sports screen – a 360-degree ‘Halo Board’ and feature the most ambitious retractable roof ever built. Powered by 96 motors, weighing three-and-a-half thousand tons and made of eight vast steel ‘petals’, this roof will open and close like a camera iris.
