The construction of one of the most impressive Mercedes-Benz Stadiums in Atlanta, USA, has been completed relatively recently. It looks like a flower, and the roof can open and close like petals. It took 39 months and $1.6 billion to erect this structure.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium is a unique construction in terms of transformation. At most it can hold 83,000 fans who come to American soccer matches. During soccer (European soccer) the upper tiers of the stands are closed and 40,000 visitors can watch the game in comfort.

To ensure that the matches were visible from anywhere in the stadium, the developers have installed a 360-degree screen. Its area is 5,800 square meters, making it one of the largest in the world. In addition there are 2,400 smaller screens installed throughout the stadium, so that the fans are not going to miss a single moment of the game, for example, going to the cafe.

Another convenient solution for visitors is the viewing bridges (walking area), where you can go from the stands to watch the games.

The “highlight” of the stadium, of which the developers are proud, is the sliding roof. It works like the iris of a camera. Some compare it to the petals of a flower. Each of the eight segments moves on its own trajectory, creating the sensation of the roof spinning.

The stadium in Atlanta cost $1.6 billion U.S. dollars. This makes Mercedes-Benz Stadium one of the most expensive sports facilities on the planet.
