Portugal plays this morning in their last match before the 2026 World Cup against the United States in a fascinating stadium that represents the present and future of luxury sports arenas, venues that live far beyond just sports. The biggest trademark is the roof: removable, when closed, eight giant triangular panels form the Mercedes symbol, an image that has become iconic in the city of Atlanta. Inside, it is equally special. The versatility of the stadium is evident in an aspect that should only be possible in the United States: it is home to two teams from two different sports, Atlanta United in MLS and Atlanta Falcons in NFL. Last year, it hosted several matches of the Club World Cup, including a painful memory for FC Porto fans, who lost 1-2 to Inter Miami here. Still in the world of American football, the Superbowl will be held here in 2028. Inside the facilities, there are dozens of restaurants and VIP areas, and even… a museum about the history of sports in the city of Atlanta. Above the field, there is a giant 360-degree screen. The total estimated cost of this stadium was $1.6 billion, or €1.38 billion at the current exchange rate.
