Mercedes-Benz Stadium, in conjunction with concession partner Levy Restaurants, polled over 4,000 Atlanta Falcons fans and Atlanta United supporters to determine the types of food and restaurants they would like to have as part of the restaurant offerings within the stadium. That data led to choosing the highest rated restaurants and chefs in the city as well as local favorites from all neighborhoods that included smaller, locally and minority-owned restaurants to be a part of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium hospitality experience.
Additionally, several partners including Kevin Gillespie, Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q and the Concentrics Restaurant group will develop unique concepts with menus that are exclusive to Mercedes-Benz Stadium. These offerings will be widely accessible throughout the stadium with some partners having locations on all three concourses.
“It was important that our restaurant offerings not only reflect the world-class quality of Atlanta’s culinary scene but also represent what our fans said they wanted,” says Mike Gomes, senior vice president, fan experience at AMB Sports & Entertainment. “In addition to our great core food and beverage concepts, the variety of local partner options in the stadium will give guests the opportunity to sample the best of what Atlanta has to offer while maintaining our fan-first philosophy”.
Earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz Stadium introduced its game-changing fan-first model for its food and beverage program, offering concession pricing among the lowest in major league sports and entertainment venues, higher quality food, more variety and faster speed of service. These four core principles came from listening and responding to fans and their feedback on the stadium food and beverage experience. That approach was extended to the restaurant partner program.
