Adjustments already have been made since the stadium's opening to address the congestion issueTwitter
Additional doors could be installed at Mercedes-Benz Stadium later this year "as part of efforts to alleviate the considerable congestion exiting the stadium," according to Tim Tucker of the ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION. Fans have "expressed concern about clogged concourses and exits after numerous events," most recently the CFP title game on Jan. 8. The egress issue "showed up in fan surveys conducted by the NFL and MLS." AMB Group CEO Steve Cannon said, "We've got two additional doors that we're talking about adding into the glass area that exits out onto the 'Front Porch' -- more exit portals for people." He added that adjustments already have been made since the stadium's opening "to address the issue." Cannon said that one example was the "removal of a storage area near a display of Georgia high schools' football helmets to free up four additional feet of concourse egress space in 'one of our areas of concern'" (ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION, 1/30).
