The Atlanta Falcons presented complete design plans for their new stadium to a state agency Tuesday and declared the project on track to open as scheduled in less than three years.
“We are in full go,” Falcons president and CEO Rich McKay told the Georgia World Congress Center Authority board. “We have a March 2017 date that we are certainly marching toward.”
The new design documents, totaling 2,157 drawings, show much more detail but no dramatic changes from earlier renderings of the angular, retractable-roof stadium being built next to the Georgia Dome on the Congress Center’s downtown campus.
The GWCCA board voted to authorize its executive director, Frank Poe, to approve the design documents after a follow-up meeting with the Falcons later this week. “There are a couple of clarifications that we’ll pursue,” Poe said, describing the issues as “nothing contentious at all.”
