Photos: 10 features of Falcons' new stadium

Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons news stadium, the Mercedes Benz Stadium, has a retractable roof and a 360-degree video board around the top of the stadium

Insipred by the oculus in the dome of the Pantheon in Rome, the stadium's roof opening - spanning 14.5 acres - is among the stadium's most unique features.

The first of its kind, the stadium's halo board will be the largest video board in the world - nearly five stories tall (58 feet) and 11,000 linear feet in diameter - at 63,800 square feet.

View from the plaza on the northeast concourse will offer a "window to the city" skyline.

Owner's club, the most exclusive club in the stadium, will offer fine dining options from one of the stadium's seven bars and restaurants.

The stadium will have 190 suites. Each owner's suite is located on the home side of the stadium at midfield on the first and second levels of suites - 35 rows from the field.

Located on mezzanine level directly above the 200-level clubs seats, club seats will feature nearly 60,000 square feet of space. About 7,500 of the stadium's total 71,000 seats will be designated as club seats.

A private stadium entrance from premium parking takes members directly into the club and the stadium's 7,500 club seats. The stadium also will have more than 21,000 parking spots.

The Champions Lounge area - which will feature on-field patio areas, lounge seating, private bars and restrooms, along with multiple high-definition screens to keep up with the action on the field - will be reserved only for club seat holder in the first 35 rows from the field.

The Champions Lounges are located at field level behind each team's bench and are being designed as the stadium's largest space at more than 30,000 square feet each.

The new stadium will feature 16 touchdown suites, located on the field behind each end zone.
