And This is the one time I think the term "game changing" is being used correctly by the Flacons

As a stated goal from the outset of design, Mercedes-Benz Stadium is reimagining the fan experience. Today in the building’s first completed concession stand, stadium leadership announced a game-changing food and beverage pricing and quality model designed to address the top reported pain point for football fans and soccer supporters in surveys about the live event experience.
Upon opening in 2017, Mercedes-Benz Stadium will offer food and beverage options developed to deliver what fans want – variety, speed of service, quality and value. The fan-first menu at Mercedes-Benz Stadium will include the most popular items priced as follows without compromising quality:
The menu and pricing model – which will allow a family of four to consume the typical game-day purchases for $28 or less – will be in effect for Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United games, as well as major events at Mercedes-Benz Stadium including the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, SEC Championship Game, the College Football National Championship (2018) and the NCAA Men’s Final Four slated for 2020. The pricing and product offerings will be the same for concerts, conventions and other special events booked at the stadium.
- $2 – Non-alcoholic beverage products with unlimited free refills (at freestanding refill stations)
- $2 – Dasani bottled water; hot dogs; pretzels; popcorn
- $3 – Peanuts; pizza; nachos; waffle fries
- $5 – 12 oz. domestic beer
The NFL’s Voice of the Fan Survey, as well as primary research within Atlanta and other markets conducted by the Falcons and Atlanta United, clearly indicates that food and beverage is the third-most important driver of game-day satisfaction. Yet, it’s also the lowest rated aspect of the guest experience by almost every measure.
“We focused from the beginning on building a unique fan experience at Mercedes-Benz Stadium with a goal of helping those who visit to leave the stadium with great memories shared with family and friends, not aggravation and frustration about their experience,” said Falcons and Atlanta United owner, Arthur M. Blank. “We have listened to the concerns of the fans on the food and beverage experience and have responded to those concerns in a way that honors our commitment to providing the best possible fan experience at our events.”
To improve speed and quality of service, Mercedes-Benz Stadium has partnered with its design team, construction partners and Levy Restaurants to create what will be an exceptional experience for fans, employing several new operational and design elements that include:
- More than 670 concession points-of-sale (65 percent more than our fans currently enjoy)
- Self-service soda refill stations away from the concession stands (to increase speed, shorten lines)
- Increased on-site kitchen and cooking capacity to ensure freshness, quality and speed of service
- Whole-dollar pricing for ease and efficiency
