Where to sit at Mercedes-Benz Stadium
100 Level centre sidelines around the halfway line (approximately sections 112-121)
Centre-sideline lower-bowl seats give the most balanced, head-on view of play with the closest proximity to the action, ideal for football and soccer alike.
300 Level sideline sections (long-side upper deck, a few rows back from the front rail)
The cheapest tickets in the stadium still deliver clean, elevated, unobstructed views of the full field and the Halo Board; sitting a couple of rows up avoids the front-row railing obstruction.
Supporters' sections behind the goals (101-103 and 135-136)
This is the home of the drums, chants and the standing supporters' groups; general admission in sections 101, 136 and rows 1-39 of 102 puts you in the loudest, most committed crowd.
Front rows of many 300 Level sections
A railing along the front of the upper deck can obstruct the view; sitting a couple of rows back is recommended.
About Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Mercedes-Benz Stadium, opened in 2017 in downtown Atlanta, is a multi-purpose venue seating around 71,000 for NFL games (home of the Atlanta Falcons) and expandable to roughly 75,000 for major events. Seating is arranged across three main tiers: the 100 Level (lower bowl), the 200 Level (mezzanine, ringed with suites and club lounges) and the 300 Level (upper deck), all wrapped by the distinctive 360-degree "Halo Board" video ring beneath the retractable roof. The best overall views are along the lower-bowl sidelines around the halfway/50-yard line (roughly sections 112-121 area), while the best value sits high on the 300 Level sidelines, which offer clean elevated views and the lowest prices. For Atlanta United matches the lower bowl can be curtained down to around 42,500, with the loudest atmosphere behind the goal in the supporters' sections (101-103 and 135-136). Premium options include the field-level Mercedes-Benz Club and Delta Sky360 Club in the lower bowl, the Harrah's Cherokee Club on the 200 Level, and numerous all-inclusive lounges and suites.
Opened in 2017, Mercedes-Benz Stadium is defined by its unique retractable roof of eight triangular 'petals' that open and close like a camera aperture. Inside, a 360-degree 'halo' video board rings the top of the bowl, and the venue is known for its fan-friendly concession pricing while hosting Falcons NFL and Atlanta United MLS matches.

How the venue is set up
NFL (Atlanta Falcons)
American football configuration with the full bowl open, capacity approximately 71,000 (expandable to around 75,000 for marquee events such as the Super Bowl). Sidelines run along the 100 and 200 Level long sides; end zones sit behind each goal line.
MLS (Atlanta United)
Soccer-specific setup with retractable lower-bowl seats moved to widen the pitch and mechanised curtains that can reduce capacity to around 42,500 for many matches, expanding toward 71,000-plus for big fixtures. The supporters' sections behind the goals (101-103 and 135-136) drive the atmosphere.
Concerts
End-stage or in-the-round configurations with a floor (general admission pit or seated floor) plus the 100, 200 and 300 Level bowl. Layouts vary by show, with some sections removed, restricted or added depending on stage position; sections directly behind or beside the stage may be unsold or have obstructed views.
FIFA World Cup 2026
Scheduled to host eight matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, using a wide soccer pitch with the bowl largely fully open. Per FIFA naming rules the venue is referred to as 'Atlanta Stadium' during the tournament.
Seating levels explained
100 Level (Lower Bowl)101-136 (incl. club sections 108C-112C, 126C-130C, 110C, 128C)
The closest tier to the field, wrapping the full bowl with sideline, corner and end-zone sections. Sidelines around the halfway/50-yard line offer the premium sightlines; centre-sideline blocks (e.g. 108C-112C and 126C-130C) form the climate-controlled Mercedes-Benz Club and Delta Sky360 Club.
Pros: Closest to the action; best atmosphere and detail; club-section access to premium lounges and bars.
Cons: Most expensive seats in the building; lower rows in corners and end zones can have flatter, more side-on views.
200 Level (Mezzanine)Approximately 201-247, plus club sections 210C-212C and 236C-238C and suites
The middle tier, dominated by suites and premium clubs including the Harrah's Cherokee Club. Standard 200 Level sections sit relatively low above the field with shallow seating (around a dozen rows per section).
Pros: Elevated but still close; excellent for the full-field picture; many sections tie into premium and all-inclusive clubs.
Cons: Largely premium/suite inventory, so general seated availability is limited; pricing is high relative to the upper deck.
300 Level (Upper Deck)Approximately 301-348
The highest seated tier and home to the cheapest tickets. Separated from the field by the lower rows and two levels of suites, so even front rows sit well back, but sideline sections give clean, elevated 'birds-eye' views and the best angle on the 360-degree Halo Board.
Pros: Lowest prices; unobstructed elevated sightlines from the sidelines; best view of the Halo Board.
Cons: Furthest from the field (front rows roughly 70 rows back equivalent); a railing can obstruct the very front rows of many sections; end-zone upper seats feel distant.
Field & Floor (event-dependent)
For concerts the playing surface is converted to a floor with a GA pit and/or seated floor sections directly facing the stage. Atlanta United also offers limited field-adjacent premium terraces.
Pros: Closest possible to a concert stage; high-energy GA pit; standing-room and terrace options available.
Cons: Flat sightlines toward the rear of a seated floor; GA pit requires queuing and standing; configuration and availability change show to show.
Best seats at Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Best overall view
100 Level centre sidelines around the halfway line (approximately sections 112-121)
Centre-sideline lower-bowl seats give the most balanced, head-on view of play with the closest proximity to the action, ideal for football and soccer alike.
Best value
300 Level sideline sections (long-side upper deck, a few rows back from the front rail)
The cheapest tickets in the stadium still deliver clean, elevated, unobstructed views of the full field and the Halo Board; sitting a couple of rows up avoids the front-row railing obstruction.
Best atmosphere (Atlanta United)
Supporters' sections behind the goals (101-103 and 135-136)
This is the home of the drums, chants and the standing supporters' groups; general admission in sections 101, 136 and rows 1-39 of 102 puts you in the loudest, most committed crowd.
Best for NFL detail and premium feel
Mercedes-Benz Club / Delta Sky360 Club sideline sections (108C-112C and 126C-130C)
Field-level centre-sideline club seats combine premium proximity with access to climate-controlled lounges, upscale concessions and private bars.
Best for concerts (reserved seat)
100 Level sideline sections facing an end stage, plus lower rows of the 200 Level sidelines
For an end-stage show these give a strong, relatively close head-on view of the stage without the flat sightlines of the rear floor or the distance of the upper deck.
Best budget concert option
Lower rows of the 300 Level sideline sections
Affordable elevated seating with a good overall stage and screen view; superior to upper end-zone seats which can be a long way from the stage.

Seats to avoid & obstructed views
Front rows of many 300 Level sections: A railing along the front of the upper deck can obstruct the view; sitting a couple of rows back is recommended.
300 Level end-zone / behind-the-goal upper sections: Furthest seats from the action, with the front rows already equivalent to roughly 70 rows back; distant and flat for following play.
Lower-bowl corner and end-zone sections (e.g. 101-107, 113-125, 131-136 corners and ends): More side-on or end-on angles than the centre sidelines, and lower rows can feel flat relative to the field.
Floor/sections directly behind or beside a concert stage: For end-stage concert layouts these can be obstructed, side-on or unsold entirely depending on the production.
Rear rows of a seated concert floor: Flat sightlines on a level floor mean limited views of the stage when standing crowds are in front.
Accessibility & companion seating
Mercedes-Benz Stadium provides accessible (wheelchair) seating with companion seats across all levels and price points, with accessible parking, entrances, lifts, ramps and accessible restrooms throughout the building. Wheelchair-accessible and companion seating, as well as services such as assistive listening and accessible drop-off, can be arranged through the venue's guest services; accessible tickets are best booked directly via the stadium or the official ticketing channel to ensure the correct seat type. Guests needing specific accommodations are advised to contact the stadium's guest services team in advance.
Where: Accessible and companion seating is distributed across the 100, 200 and 300 Levels rather than confined to a single area, allowing wheelchair users to choose a price tier; exact accessible platform locations within each section should be confirmed with the venue when booking.
Food & drink at Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Mercedes-Benz Stadium is best known for its fan-first pricing: whole-dollar menu prices on classics that the stadium does not raise for bigger events. Core stands such as ATL Fan Fare and ATL Grill cover hot dogs, nachos, burgers and draught beer, with vegetarian and vegan options marked on the official menus.
Payment is card and mobile only at all stands, bars and vendors, with cash-to-card kiosks at sections 101 and 122. Outside food and drink are prohibited apart from one factory-sealed 500 ml water bottle per person; there is a two-drink alcohol limit per transaction, and sales generally end after the third quarter at football or the 75th minute at soccer.

Frequently asked questions
What are the best seats at Mercedes-Benz Stadium?
For the best overall view, choose 100 Level centre-sideline seats around the halfway/50-yard line (roughly sections 112-121). These give the closest, most head-on view of play. If you want premium comfort, the field-level Mercedes-Benz Club and Delta Sky360 Club sideline sections add lounge access.
What are the cheapest seats at Mercedes-Benz Stadium?
The cheapest tickets are in the 300 Level (upper deck). For the best value, pick a 300 Level sideline section and sit a couple of rows back from the front rail to avoid the railing obstruction while keeping a clean, elevated view of the field and the Halo Board.
Where do the home supporters and away fans sit for Atlanta United?
Atlanta United's supporters' sections are behind the goals in sections 101-103 and 135-136, with general admission in 101, 136 and rows 1-39 of 102. This is the loudest, standing area. Visiting supporters and fans wanting a calmer seated experience are directed to other areas of the bowl; the exact away allocation varies by match, so check the official listing.
Is Mercedes-Benz Stadium accessible for wheelchair users?
Yes. The stadium offers wheelchair-accessible and companion seating across all three levels and price ranges, plus accessible parking, entrances, lifts, ramps and restrooms. Accessible tickets are best booked directly through the venue or official ticketing so the correct seat type is allocated.
Does Mercedes-Benz Stadium have a roof, and is the seating covered?
Yes, it has a signature retractable roof made up of eight translucent triangular panels around a central oculus. When closed the bowl is fully enclosed and climate-controlled; when open the panels retract to expose the field, though the stadium can be operated closed for shade and comfort in Atlanta's heat.
How many people does Mercedes-Benz Stadium hold?
It seats around 71,000 for Atlanta Falcons NFL games, expandable to roughly 75,000 for major events. For Atlanta United soccer the lower bowl can be curtained to about 42,500 and expanded toward 71,000-plus for larger fixtures.
What is the best section for concerts at Mercedes-Benz Stadium?
For an end-stage concert, 100 Level sideline sections facing the stage and the lower rows of the 200 Level sidelines give strong head-on views. On a budget, the lower rows of the 300 Level sidelines offer a good overall view. Concert layouts vary by show, so confirm the specific seating map before buying.
