    Went here for the World Cup game and this place is beyond amazing. Located in Atlanta 1amb drive. Watched the game against Morocco and Haiticwhich was unbelievable. Upon entering I was amazing of the enormous space, they had court courts, shops, different suite levels as well. Luckily we got vip so we got the full effect of catering service and a closer look at the stadium field. When you see the stadium it's holds more than 75,000 people. It's neat because if it's hot the roof can automatically close and if weather is good it can stay open. When we went it was super hot so the roof was closed but AC was flowing inside. Everything was so clean, organized, the staff was friendly and helpful. The suites were luxurious and up to par. Food was delicious. And it's awesome because they had everything reasonable priced compared to other stadium food and drink cost. Since we had vip we are able to get our own Buffett food and drink access. They had mini burgers, a sushi area, steak area, many different sides. The best part was walking from the vip suite to the stadium. Fully air conditioned a dome that opens and closes for weather purposes. No words can describe how amazing it was.

    My wife and I went to Fox Bros. for lunch. We were greeted nicely. Sat immediately. Our server Demetrius came over. He explained the menu and the specials. Made suggestions to us. My wife ordered the fried chicken ribs with baked beans and potato salad. She also ordered the fried tater tots for an appetizer. I ordered the ribs and chicken combo. With collard greens and coleslaw. Everything was delicious. My wife also ordered the watermelon drink. She enjoyed it immensely. The service was excellent. The ambience was good. Very nice date. We will return.

    Amazing stadium that's air conditioned . Which is a plus for any game event. Multi level and plenty of places to eat and purchase snacks. Arrived for the World Cup game and would definitely go back. We stayed at a hotel near by which was walking distance another plus because traffic after the event was a nightmare x20! Prices for drinks and food were very affordable. Definitely wish I had this same stadium back home !! A+

    Awesome stadium!! This is what ALL stadiums should be following - food and drinks at AFFORDABLE prices!! A burger is $5, hot dog is $2. Beer is $8!! How can you beat that at any sporting event? Amazing!! Everything was clean and it was a great time!!

    Bucket list checked off! As amazing as imagined. The park outside of the stadium is completely transformed from the days of the Omni. *Be prepared for street congestion you will not believe before and after. Better to take the MARTA.

    mannn did we have a blast here! The tail gate party and the game was beyond so much fun! Parking was a bit of trouble but expected and we only got there 2hrs early. Not early enough. Made up for it with some southern fun!

    Came for a fifa world club match. First time at the stadium. Parked off site at a private lot and walked over. Entry was quick and went smoothly. We even easily found our seats. There were plenty of bars as well as food options amd everyone on staff was friendly, helpful and worked quickly to serve customers. I'd definitely return for another event easily.

    I've been to countless professional sports stadiums, and I can say that this is one of the best ones out there. I attended during a soccer game and was blown away with how clean and brand new the place looks. My seats were good, but there is not a bad seat in the entire place. The video board was also super cool. One of the best things about the stadium was the food selection (this is yelp after all and we love our food). Everything was affordable. Usually when you go to a sports stadium you expect to get ripped off but not here. I ended up getting more than I usually would because the prices were so reasonable. 2 slices of pizza and empanada ran me about $9. At any other stadium you'd more than likely looking at least triple that. I can't wait to visit again to try more food and see another sport played here!

    First time at an NFL football game and it won't be the last. We got club seats from SeatGeek to be exact 9 rows from the field. The seats were amazing we were so close. It came with good food and drinks included--nothing bundt cakes, mac and cheese, burgers, chicken wings, and fries unlimited. The food was fresh and the service was friendly. The stadium feels like you're sitting in a Mercedes-Benz top-of-the-line everything. Our view was so crisp and the lighting was sharp. They even had the roof open it looked like a pixel. Watching a football game that close was next level you see and hear everything. Also, the music selection was LIT. We had unlimited access to the Delta Lounge, and it filled up quickly. Plenty of people are working to help you if you get lost or need help. We cannot wait to go back.

    I love attending events at MBS. Sporting, concerts, etc. The entry and security process is always pretty quick and efficient and you absolutely cannot beat the pricing for food and drinks here. The staff is always very energetic and friendly. Great views of the halo board screen from anywhere in the stadium. Always a plus when I get to support my dirty birds in person and they win!

    I love Mercedes Benz stadium!! Whether it's a concert or sporting event I love that this stadium has a roof so you're comfortable inside. Always a lively time whenever I come here. Drinks are pricey and this is cashless venue if I'm not mistaken.

    Always have a great experience at Mercedes-Benz and also what used to be The Georgia Dome, but this was my first time experiencing a suite and it was fantastic! Definitely a completely different energy and experience from up there since you are in your own little space and confined to your group of people only. Truly the biggest plus of it all is the private bathroom!! You cannot beat that. There was even a tv in the bathroom mirror playing the match so you truly never had to miss a second. We were treated to a gorgeous fruit platter, veggies, dips, popcorn, chicken fingers, etc. to enjoy during the match and were also given complimentary beautifully knitted Atlanta United scarves that were draped over every seat in the suite. The seats are also really comfy and extra cushioned compared to the regular stadium seats so that's another huge pro. Everything was super clean and organized and service was fantastic. Great view, great eats and sips, and even better company! To top it off, we won the match and it was a much needed W for ATL UTD!

    Where is the best place to park if we are going to the game with a baby?

    I would do the parking deck directly across from Phillips arena. Easy to navigate with a stroller or small children as you're walking the street the entire way but you do have a very small incline on your way back. However, this will be the most… 

    Are they strict with the child ticket policy, I have a 2 year old that is 36 inches tall?

    Did you ever find this out? my kid is right at 33 now but if he has a growth spurt in the next few months I'm concerned.

    I could use advice on parking. On the website they recommend parking on the silver deck but do not give specific prices. Dors anyone has insight on the prices or knows of an alternative parking that is reasonably close?

    There's plenty of parking lots around the area. They are walking distance from the stadium and you can save yourself some money. Just drive around once you get there and you'll see them. There's one every corner.

    Is the team store open in January? It looks like there isn't any tours going on at that time but we still want to check out the store since we will be in town.

    It looks like they should be open Mon-Sat 10a-6p as long as there is no event going on. There is also another team store at Atlantic Station.

    What time does the stadium allow guests in?

    For United games they usually open gates 2 hours before kickoff.

    Best way to park and see the stadium before a game?

    Get there with plenty of time. Honestly, I'd suggest parking at a MARTA station and riding the train in. Or riding Uber/Lyft

    If we have concert tickets in the 110 section, do we get the open bar and free food like at the games?

    In the past the non-sporting events have been handled by outside promoters and they do not recognize the same perks that you get at the sporting events. You can double-check, but my experience has been "no".

    Has anyone been on the stadium tour? It costs $25. Want to know if worth it. Was anything included for that price? Free parking? Any information would be great

    I just went on the tour and enjoyed it. It was through work and we took a shuttle, so I cannot speak as to parking. Nothing else was included for the price. I was not happy with lunch at Molly B's at the end, so save your money and skip that stop.…

Have patience. Staff- Each member me and my son came in contact with gave exceptional customer service. Everyone was really nice and helpful. Ambiance- Very pleasing to the eyes throughout and the signage is good. We didn't need to ask which way to go, to get to our seats, very explanatory. Seating/view- Pretty comfortable seating wise, but not much leg room. If you have height on you, it can become a little uncomfortable. My son said he was struggling. It doesn't look to be a bad seat in the building. We sat in Section 108 and we had perfect view of the court. Restroom- Pleanty of stalls and clean. Food and Drinks- We didn't eat because we had plans after. But I have to say, I do feel there food is high for what you would get. Though I feel the way I do, I would still purchase. Event- The Big 3...they handled it well. They transformed the court perfectly. We had a great time.

I've never had a bad time here. During the Blackpink concerts, I even met some people that traveled up from Brazil! I love other venues around the city(The Eastern, Masquerade, Roxy, A few others), but when groups grow, State Farm seems to be the place they play... until they're large enough to sell out the football stadium. State Farm Arena is good enough. There are things to do pre-show around the stadium (Coca-Cola Museum, Civil Rights Museum, Aquarium, Olympic Park). There are a few places to eat around but I'd suggest finding a place to eat before you head down to the arena. Out of all the NBA arenas I've been in, you can definitely see and feel the age of this arena. It gets the job done but it needs some upgrades. The staff is always nice and helpful here. I've started to see the setup in other places now but I seem to remember this arena being one of the first with one of those walk-in, it monitors what you take, and leave without any cashiers or employees being around. (Note: To get into the mini-market, you have to swipe card(puts a hold on your card for 25 dollars). If you spend under that, it'll adjust within days. If you spend over that, it'll also adjust upward. I was skeptical at first but it works flawlessly. Bmth sounded great. Twice sounded great. Blackpink sounded okay-ish... the sound was definitely off, muffled, and trying to be LOUD for part of their show. If one of your acts roll through, definitely check them out here. SPECIAL NOTE: Plenty of parking around but if you can, try buying parking in advance at the CNN lot. It usually sells out but if you park on that deck, it's much easier to get away from the traffic post-show.

    I've been meaning to write a review for the Atlanta Spirit ever since I read Amanda D's review from…read moreFebruary 2011. So far, the only two reviews on Yelp for the Atlanta Spirit are from Thrashers/hockey fans. I write this review primarily from a Hawks/basketball fan perspective, though I do think they royally screwed up with the Thrashers. How can a world-class, major sports city that's hosted the Olympics and just about every major sporting event lose an NHL team? Sad. In 2004, Time Warner sold the Atlanta Hawks, Atlanta Thrashers, and operating rights to Philips Arena to the Atlanta Spirit. The Atlanta Spirit is an ownership group comprised of seven businessmen, some of whom don't even live in Atlanta. The group originally had nine members, but one got kicked out (I'll get to that next) and another passed away (at age 83). In 2005, the Spirit immediately got off to a rocky start rebuilding the Hawks franchise by overseeing the trade between Atlanta and Phoenix. The Hawks traded Boris Diaw and two first round draft picks in a maximum salary sign-and-trade deal for Joe Johnson, who, at the time, was only the Suns' fourth-best player (behind Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire, and Shawn Marion). I'm a huge NBA fan and when that deal was proposed, I remember thinking how ridiculous it sounded. Joe Johnson was a good player, but no way was he worth max dollars and building a franchise around. At least one owner of the Spirit agreed and it was Steve Belkin, the governor of the group. His disagreement with the Spirit and Hawks management eventually went to the courts, where Belkin was exiled from the group (two other owners picked up his share). Then-Hawks GM Billy Knight wouldn't even shake Belkin's hand afterwards. The trade was eventually consummated and so began the Joe Johnson era in Atlanta. I can see the Spirit's thinking -- no NBA superstar wanted to play in Atlanta. We'd just come off six straight losing seasons, including a league-worst 13-69 in 2004-05. The Spirit had to overpay for someone to come here. In the eight seasons since the Spirit have owned the Hawks, the team has made the playoffs five times. We just could not get over the "hump." The hump being out of the second round. In Atlanta, Joe Johnson became a six-time All-Star. Josh Smith won the dunk contest in 2005. In 2007, we drafted Al Horford. He became a two-time All-Star. We took the eventual NBA champion Boston Celtics to seven games in an exciting playoff series in 2008. Jamal Crawford won 6th man of the year in 2010. So there were definitely some highlights with this group. Joe Johnson, however, was not a superstar. He was and is a very good player, just not a cornerstone. You can't blame him for signing a maximum contract if a team is willing to offer it. In 2008, ownership did the right thing by firing Billy Knight, but his replacement, Rick Sund, signed Joe to a 6-year, $120MM contract in 2010. We would be stuck with Joe forever! (Or would we...?) Speaking of Billy Knight, he made one of the worst draft mistakes ever, by drafting Marvin Williams with the No. 2 pick in 2005 over Chris Paul and Deron Williams (taken with the next two picks). At the time, the thinking was, Marvin Williams would turn out to be the best overall player from that draft class. We already had a ton of forwards, though, and we badly needed a point guard! June 28, 2005 was the day that could have changed the Hawks franchise for the better for decades to come. Instead, we got Marvin, followed by Shelden Williams the next year. The Atlanta Spirit, as a partnership, have a hard time gaining the support of the fans. NBA teams like the Mavs (Mark Cuban), the Lakers (Jerry Buss), the Heat (Micky Arison), the Spurs (Peter Holt), and even now the Nets (Mikhail Prokhorov) have visibly passionate owners who genuinely care about their teams and make an effort to reach out to the fans and local community. Even Cavs owner Dan Gilbert made headlines with his emotional letter to Cleveland fans after LeBron James took his talents to South Beach. I wouldn't be able to pick out any of the Atlanta Spirit owners in a lineup. I'll admit Atlanta is a fairweather sports town. I'm not sure completely why that is, but I know part of the reason is because this is a transplant city. I, myself, moved here from out-of-state and adopted the Hawks as my "#2" team behind the Spurs, who I grew up cheering for. Last month, the Spirit made a great hire in former Spurs VP of Basketball Operations, Danny Ferry, as the new GM of the Hawks. In less than two weeks, Ferry has already done what most thought was impossible: he traded away Joe Johnson's albatross contract (to Brooklyn) and Marvin Williams (to Utah, for a PG no less). A new era is underway in this town and the rebuilding process is swiftly on-going as I write this review. Atlanta has the makings of a great NBA city. If the Spirit can change the culture, the city will embrace the Hawks.

    Wow, what a disaster. I'm not a hockey fan, I'm writing about their Hawks ownership. They already…read morescrewed it up with the Thrashers, and they've been screwing up the Hawks since they took it over. Most of what I'm going to write is going to be a rehash of what I wrote for my Atlanta Hawks review. At that time, I didn't think of reviewing Atlanta Spirit. But I have to blam Atlanta Sprit for most of the blame. We all know their dumb moves to handicap the Hawks franchise: * Signing Joe Johnson to a ridiculous contract. * Drafting Marvin Williams before Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Andrew Bynum, David Lee, or Danny Granger. * Making Hawks a treadmill team for over about a decade. Paying Joe Johnson 20million/year seems like their biggest mistake. He's a decent player, but not max level guy. It hindered the franchise from making any moves in the free agency. Marvin Williams also seemed like a decent player. But he was not worth the #2 pick. Hawks needed a good PG, and they could've had Deron or Chris Paul. But nope, Hawks loved their SFs. Almost a decade later, they righted their wrongs and hired Danny Ferry. He undid all of Hawk's past mistakes. I don't know how Danny Ferry will turn out, but he's already making a bunch of good moves. Just for that, I'll give the Spirit Group 1 more star.

They had some food trucks inside and other companies set up selling food. The prices were to be expected. The food quality was really good. I want to say I paid right under $5 for ice cream and I wasn't at all surprised. The main entrance is very open, so we took time to sit out there on some steps to get away from our seats for a minute. It wasn't very busy so it was like a mini break from reality. I'd come back here again for an event. The space is really clean and open. The restrooms were clean too. The directional signs were on point and helpful.

It wasn't crowded, we had our pick of tables, and the lines weren't long. As it got closer to game time, the lines got pretty long. The food was okay. The good: chips and guacamole, pizza, dessert bar (cookies, ice cream with choice of toppings, some trifle thing). The not-so-good: "tomahawk ribeye," quesadilla. It was very average and not worth the price that I've heard people have paid. Free wine and beer, but liquor is an up-charge. The service was great.

I attended a Georgia Tech at Georgia State men's basketball game here and I believe it was the only time in the schools' histories that Tech played a true "road" game at State in 17 meetings. In the past, State has played at Tech. Tech won in a close contest, 72-67, and is currently 16-1 all-time against State (.941 win percentage). GSU Sports Arena is small with an official capacity of 3,854. Compare that to Tech's McCamish Pavilion at 8,600 seats (https://www.yelp.com/biz/mccamish-pavilion-atlanta) and Kennesaw State University's Convocation Center at 4,600 seats (https://www.yelp.com/biz/ksu-convocation-center-kennesaw). At approximately 3,800 seats, GSU Sports Arena reminds me of a high school gym, but bigger. The good thing about small arenas is the atmosphere. They can sell out and get packed and loud quick. I haven't been to a lot of mid-major college basketball arenas, but I thought the size of GSU Sports Arena was appropriate for the level and popularity of the program. Former GSU coach Ron Hunter, who's now the head coach at Tulane, elevated the status of GSU basketball during his time with the team (2011-12 through 2018-19). He led the Panthers to six postseason appearances in eight seasons including three appearances in the NCAA tournament. They peaked in 2015, making it to the round of 32. The increased prominence in GSU basketball led to Georgia Governor Brian Kemp's May 2019 approval of a fiscal year 2020 state budget, effective July 1, 2019, that includes $48 million for a new convocation center and basketball arena for GSU (additional construction costs will come from private funding). The new arena will be located at the corner of Capitol Ave SE and Fulton St SW, near Georgia State Stadium (the old Turner Field), home of the Panthers football team. It will seat about 8,000 people. I'm not surprised GSU is getting a new basketball arena as this one is dated and has seen better days. At least the concessions were cheap. Along with GSU basketball and volleyball, this arena has hosted a variety of events including ESPN's annual college slam dunk and three-point contests (when the Final Four has been in town).
