If you’re a fan of the Atlanta Falcons, you’ll want to travel to Atlanta at least once in your life to see them play on their home turf at the Mercedes Benz Stadium. Touted as the “finest sports and entertainment facility in the world” and the “best venue in the NFL,” the fan experience here is like no other from the moment you arrive. Outdoors, there’s The Front Porch, a 61,000 square foot outdoor plaza provides ticketed guests with a whole new way to tailgate that includes food, beverages and live entertainment. While inside, you’ll find wider than usual seats, an ample number of restrooms for both men and women, and “fan first pricing” – which allows you to feed an entire family of four for under $30. Not to mention, the quick entry turnstiles, a strong Wi-Fi network and perhaps most famously, the Halo Board – a 58 foot tall, 360-degree HD video screen that is the largest video board in professional sports today.
It’s no wonder why a trip to this stadium has become a bucket list item for so many football fans, no matter what team they root for. So, if you’re ready to take a road trip to Atlanta to have your own ultimate fan experience, check out these hotels that are close to the stadium and offer comfortable accommodations at affordable rates.
