Fans watching the Falcons preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals say the stadium looks bright and great on television.

The Falcons new $1.5 billion stadium has a 360-degree, 58-feet tall HD video halo board, a state-of-the-art audio system, a large window that shows the city of Atlanta and a retractable roof, however the roof was closed during the opening of the stadium.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium also uses an "open stadium approach," which lights the stadium in a natural way. LED sports lighting in the stadium also helps the stadium look brighter even during evening games.
