The Race To Prep An NFL Stadium For 140,000 Fans

From Business Insider.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta has hosted everything from Super Bowl weekend to concerts by Beyoncé and Taylor Swift. It’s also set to host matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. On its busiest weekends, the stadium holds major events on back-to-back days. When that happens, more than 1,000 employees work through the night to flip the site in under 18 hours, cleaning the stadium, repainting the field, and preparing thousands of meals. We spent 24 hours with the team as it switched from a Saturday night college football championship to a Sunday afternoon NFL game between the Atlanta Falcons and a 2026 Super Bowl LX team, the Seattle Seahawks.
