Mercedes-Benz Stadium May Not Be Ready For Start Of Falcons' Season

Apr 18, 2017 1:43 PM

Construction issues have delayed the opening of Mercedes-Benz Stadium for a third time.

The first game was supposed to be an Atlanta United match on July 30th but instead it will be an Atlanta Falcons' preseason game on August 26th.

Steve Cannon also confirmed that “decommissioning” and demolition of the Georgia Dome have been put on hold “until we are 100 percent certain of achieving our certificate of occupancy.”

“This really does represent an insurance policy,” he said. “We do not expect to use the Georgia Dome whatsoever.”

The $1.5 billion retractable-roof stadium was originally scheduled to open on March 1. That was pushed back to June 1 and then pushed back again to July 30.

Matt Ryan Not Shying Away From Watching Super Bowl Tape

Apr 12, 2017 7:43 PM

Matt Ryan watched game film of the Super Bowl immediately following the Atlanta Falcons' loss to the New England Patriots.

"I watched it the day after. I watched it two days after. And then I watched it three days after," Ryan told 680 The Fan radio in Atlanta during a Monday interview prior to his charity golf tournament. "For me, it was one of those things, I think; you kind of want to be able to deal with it appropriately. Maybe that's different for everybody. Some people bury it away. ... For me it was, 'All right, let's watch.'

"Does it feel the same way it felt as we were going through it? I think everybody is going to be really hungry to get back there because the one thing I'm proud of is we have a young team. We were ready to play. I thought we played well. And we were right in the mix and fell a little bit short. But we should have every bit of confidence that we're going to be right back there next year and getting a different outcome because we're going to be more experienced."

Ryan isn't pointing the blame at anyone.

"You play," Ryan said. "As a player, you play. And your focus, I guess, is always on, 'All right, what's coming in? How do I do the best job with what's coming in?' That's what (you're) like in those types of situations.

"Now on the sideline, it's a different story. That's where you talk about stuff before going out. ... That's the time when you can kind of discuss those things. But when you're on the field, whatever comes in, you're trying to execute it as best you can."
