It shouldn’t be a surprise, but the realization caused a stir this week.
Like all other Chick-fil-A restaurants, the Chick-fil-A inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium will be closed on Sundays when the stadium opens.
Since the Falcons play seven out of eight home games on Sundays, the Chick-fil-A inside the stadium will be open for the Falcons’ Dec. 7 game against the New Orleans Saints.
The stadium’s Chick-fil-A will be open for all non-Sunday events like Atlanta United games, the SEC Championship, Chick-fil-A Kickoff Games and the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
Here’s what fans, the Falcons Twitter account and other teams had to say about the this week’s revelation:

What's worse for the Falcons, 28-3 choke, or Chick Fil A in the stadium that's closed on Sunday?

If you ever think you make bad decisions, just remember, they're putting a Chick-Fil-A in the new Falcons stadium

For some reason I find it hilarious that the new Falcons stadium has a Chick-fil-A that is closed on Sundays?? It's a Monty Python sketch

When you are trying to calculate why Chick-Fil-A is in The Falcons stadium when most games are on Sunday... pic.twitter.com/eGjtqzQM0h

Should 2019 Super Bowl be moved from Falcons new stadium because Chick-fil-A concession stand closed on Sundays? Buy or sell? Fish or fowl?

The Falcons got a Stadium Chick-Fil-A. Y'know, the place that closes on Sunday?

...This is somehow sadder than last year's Super Bowl.
LOL the falcons put a chick fil a in their new stadium, which is closed on Sundays. I guess that superbowl loss really did a number on them
