Birdair has been selected as the specialty contractor for the roof pillow system and facade solution for the new Mercedes Benz Stadium. The new state-of-the-art facility, set to open in 2017, will feature a retractable roof consisting of three layered ETFE roof pillows on eight petals that retract, similar to a camera lens. The stadium, once completed, will be home to the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons and MLS Atlanta, and will host concerts, conventions and other marquee sports and entertainment events. Recently naming rights for the stadium have been granted to Mercedes-Benz.
