The Atlanta Falcons are negotiating a deal to build a nearly $1 billion retractable-roof stadium to replace the Georgia Dome, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Thursday.

 

In talks Wednesday with state officials, the team said it was no longer pursuing a new $700 million open-air stadium, instead proposing the construction of a $947.7 million, state-of-the-art stadium.

 

Under the previous plan, the Georgia Dome would have remained intact to host other events, such as concerts and the Final Four. The new plan would mean the 20-year-old dome would be torn down, which may not sit well with state residents.

I'm down. Then Lkr won't make fun of the Dome anymore!

Georgia Dome has hosted the Superb Owl and was part of the US 2022 World Cup bid

Yeah, apparently is was a candidate along with seventeen other cities. I highly doubt it would have been selected to host games considering it's hardly ever used for soccer matches.
