All Rights Reserved. ©2021 SAGE Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved. “These things become economically obsolete” Executive Summary The relentless pressure from franchise owners to generate maximum revenue from athletic venues by attracting more premium customers is condemning some stadiums and arenas to the wrecking ball well before the end of their useful life. A key takeaway: The perks offered to high-end ticket holders in newer buildings include inside-the-venue parking, special traffic lanes, private elevators and access to coaches and players.

Next to Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta stand two modern sports stadiums that directly face each other – and also face distinctly different fates. The glittering new structure is Mercedes-Benz Stadium, costing about $1.6 billion, with a retractable roof and a seating capacity of 71,000 for football and more for other events. 1 The new home of the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League (NFL) in 2017, it will also host the national college football championship game in January 2018, the Super Bowl in 2019 and the men’s college basketball Final Four in 2020. Next door is the Georgia Dome, built in 1992.
