ATLANTA — ATLANTA (AP) - The Atlanta Falcons expect the retractable roof on Mercedes-Benz Stadium to be "fully operational" for the 2018 season and next year's Super Bowl.
Falcons president and CEO Rich McKay told The Associated Press on Wednesday he expects the team to have more open-air home games in the 2018 season.
"The roof is being worked on as we speak and yes we expect the roof to be fully operational by football season, if not well before," McKay said.
