People from all over the city of Atlanta watched in person, from surrounding buildings and on television as one of Atlanta’s defining structures fell to to the ground.

Farewell, @GeorgiaDome . Experienced many of my favorite sports memories there.....the Olympics, @VT_Football beating Tenn in the Peach Bowl, and last year's NFC Championship game. She was a grand lady. Sept 6, 1992 - Nov 20, 2017 #DomeMemories #GADome https://t.co/x7Z9KdV1zp

One of my favorite photos at the Georgia Dome. Being apart of the atmosphere there was unlike anything I’ve experienced or likely will ever experience again. Thank you for those memories and forever #RiseUp @GeorgiaDome pic.twitter.com/QXNbniZg7u
