Home to the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta United of MLS and many of the world’s top sports and entertainment events, Mercedes-Benz Stadium (MBS) was the first professional sports stadium in the world in November 2017 to achieve LEED ­Platinum Certification and by that time had gathered more points than any other sports facility in the world with a total of 88. The 158,804 m² stadium’s unique sustainability solutions for water, lighting, and energy conservation, as well as community programs and stewardship, have been a key part of the building’s story of innovation from day one.
