Georgia Dome > Benz

Just wanted to say that I'm not impressed with the Benz. Things the Benz did well, so did the dome. Seats were good w/ good visibility of the game, bathroom nice, concessions, etc. But so was the GA dome.
Where the dome beats the benz-
Acoustic, can't hear crap in the benz. Never heard a single call from the ref and the band was barely audible from the upper deck when they're on the field
Scoreboards, Benz it's tiny and the format isn't good, no stats and just kinda tough to easily read

Yeah, the acoustics are actual shitbananas. The crowd noise becomes ear piercing.

the butthole aesthetic is appropriate for Atlanta, though

Acoustic,
I have hated the sound there at every event we have attended. I dont think they can fix it either

Sound is terrible.
Concessions are better. Suites/club are nicer with more amenities. Video boards are nice (from lower level).
Need more statistics visible

Whoever the stadium announcer was yesterday was a moron and was just horrible. Got the down incorrect multiple times.
Constant "commercials" for causes and sponsors throughout the game by the announcer and on the video boards.
There were some replays of critical plays, but there weren't a lot. Especially if it would have revealed the joke of an officiating crew that was on the field yesterday.
I have been to an Atlanta United game at the Benz and I didn't have a single complaint. The match and announcing and video and facilities were run perfectly.
I was expecting the same for yesterday's game and was GREATLY disappointed.

Yeah, I loved the pre-game emergency evacuation instructions, "In the event of an emergency..." Forget that, just put a message on the video board and over the PA that says, "Y'all screwed."
Yeah, I haven't seen a single thing that's an upgrade to the Dome, and the Benz was a pretty hefty price tag for that.

While i think the Dome was still a great venue, the Benz is a huge upgrade. I spend a lot of time there with the Falcons and the experience is sooooo much better than the dome.
I dont know where you were sitting in particular but I have had an awesome time there every time I go.

My parents went to the bowl game and said the same thing

We were about 5 rows up in the end zone next to the band and during our td drive in the 4th the sun was shining directly through the windows. I would have hated to try to catch anything looking back into that.

Yeah, exit was absolutely awful.
They had escalators turned OFF after the game and pretty much herded the entire crowd to a single exit point.
It was idiotic.
And, changing the subject, hey Auburn Mom and Dad? If all your teenage daughter wants to do is watch a TV show on her phone during the entire game and never look up and all your school-age son wants to do is play with this Transformer toy with his back turned to the game for the entire time, my suggestion would be for you to save your money on two of those tickets and either leave the children with grandma or a baby sitter.

LOL
The dome was solid, but MBS is much better. Entry/exit already much improved over last year.

If yesterday’s exit plan was an improvement over last year, then holy shite.

Couldn't find a sitter. Sorry!

Benz is nice for people into dining and luxury at a sporting event, it's terrible for atmosphere and people who are actually there for the game.
Posted on 9/2/18 at 9:10 pm to slacker130
Y’all are crazy or just Saint fans.....the new stadium is so much nicer, more comfortable, and better gameday experience than the Ga Dome. We sat in the Delta Skyclub section and it was pretty damn impressive. The only thing i agree with is the acoustics did suck.

Yeah, I have absolutely heard the AU Marching Band fill up a many different stadiums with sound before.
From the upper deck in the Benz, I couldn't hear them unless they were facing directly towards me.
