Agreed. They've put the rest of the world to shame in recent years. There are a couple of new ones on the horizon over there that look great too. The designs are so innovative.

Getting a bit off topic but I've been lucky enough to go to quite a number of Atlanta Utd games at the Mercedes Benz. The Georgia Dome that it replaced was fantastic, the MBS is pretty much out of this world. Besides the 360 degree screen in the main bowl, there are TVs everywhere. You can go to for a pee without missing any of the action!
For one game some fans were moaning because they were planning to have the roof open and they wouldn't feel the benefit of the air conditioning in their seats!
Front row is very close to the action (subs warm up behind the goals) but if you're sat in the top tier, whilst the view is still great, it makes the top of the away stand at Wigan seem flat and at sea level! Not good for anyone who suffers from vertigo although you can get escalators almost right the way up.
I really would recommend a visit to an Atlanta United game. Crowd and atmosphere is fantastic and the tailgate before hand is an absolute must. Pay $10 to one of the supporter groups and get unlimited beer, shots (drinks not the other US past-time) , snacks etc. free!
Park nearby for $10 and even with attendances of 70,000+ they still get everyone on their way after games in hardly no time at all.

tmesis The fans being that close to the pitch would actually be annoying, as you can't see all of the pitch unless you are right at the front, or in an upper tier. It would be like the old days of the away end at Bournemouth, where you couldn't see most of the near goal*, and it's probably worse at corners. It's a problem with trying to fit a football pitch into an area designed for NFL. The sightlines are just badly wrong.
I'm also not fond of a high roof. It makes the place almost feel like an indoor venue, and I just don't like those.
That said, if I was in Atlanta, I'd love to go to a game there. I'd just take care about choosing where to sit.
* which is why everyone in the end thought Gilkes had scored there in 93/94, when the ball was actually tapped in by a fan as the shot was going wide. It's also the only time Dean Court will be compared to that stadium in Atlanta.

RoyalBlue And I was incensed that the ref didn't allow that goal! I didn't live in the Reading area and media coverage was nowhere near as good back then, so it wasn't until the start of the next season that I learned that there was a very valid reason why he had disallowed it!
Duffy I have contacted the club regarding this issue as there are quite a few people in our block who can't read it properly. I will let you know if I get a response and what the response is.

If the club have anything about them they will reply in really tiny, unreadable text.
