Yahoo Sports – Alien invasion or football experience? In Atlanta come 2017, there won’t be much of a difference, if an exotic new stadium plan becomes reality.
That there is one of the two major designs for the new Atlanta Falcons stadium, proposed to open in time for the start of the 2017 season. Crafted by 360 Architecture, it’s called the “Pantheon,” and it’s a new design on the usual retractable-dome style. How new? This new:
The centerpiece of the dome is the “Oculus,” the eye that rotates open depending on the day’s weather and the facility’s needs. It’s meant to resemble the sweep of a falcon’s wing…
Honestly this I think this is so sick, it’s taking team branding to a whole new level and applying it to the venue. And then having tickers on the open diamond part is even sweeter. If this shit is built it would become the most intimidating home arena in the NFL, no doubt in my mind. Opposing players would be too caught up with what the hell is going on above to focus on the game. Complete game-changer for the Falcons organization. It would basically guarantee them a Super Bowl.
ps…scratch that other concept, no one wants that, you know everyone wants this.
