Cobb Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 The Atlanta Falcons are negotiating a deal to build a nearly $1 billion retractable-roof stadium to replace the Georgia Dome, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Thursday. In talks Wednesday with state officials, the team said it was no longer pursuing a new $700 million open-air stadium, instead proposing the construction of a $947.7 million, state-of-the-art stadium. Under the previous plan, the Georgia Dome would have remained intact to host other events, such as concerts and the Final Four. The new plan would mean the 20-year-old dome would be torn down, which may not sit well with state residents.FOX Sports I'm down. Then Lkr won't make fun of the Dome anymore!

I highly doubt it would have been selected to host games considering it's hardly ever used for soccer matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
