ATLANTA — The Atlanta Falcons announced Monday that they will host their first-ever open practice inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium later this month.

The “Together We Rise - Falcons Fan Day” event will be held July 29. It will be a fully padded practice.

In addition to the practice, Mercedes-Benz Stadium is planning its first public live roof-opening. This will celebrate the completion of the one-of-a-kind roof.

The ceremony will kick off practice and the day’s festivities.

“Together We Rise - Falcons Fan Day” will begin at 11 a.m. and practice starts at noon.
