Mercedes-Benz Stadium is built for global moments. With its sweeping form, retractable roof, and glass transparency, the stadium allows light to move through the structure. This transforms passageways into social environments while keeping every level visually connected to the field below. 

As Atlanta prepares for the FIFA World Cup 2026, anticipation builds across the city. Architecture, sport, and broadcast come together to transform the stadium into a global stage where experience is both shared and seen in real time. Within this environment, the broadcast booth becomes a focused control point, balancing clarity with a constant connection to the energy outside.

Here, daylight must be managed without being erased. In high-performance broadcast environments, interior roller shades and technical sunscreen fabrics help manage daylight and reduce glare across large glass areas, supporting clear visibility for screens, cameras and live broadcasts.

In the broadcast booth at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Mermet’s high-performance roller shade fabric, E Screen™ 1% Charcoal/Charcoal helps achieve this balance. This fabric softens daylight and reduces glare while maintaining clarity and a visual link to the stadium beyond. The result is controlled transparency preserving both performance and atmosphere.

The broadcast booth is not separate from the stadium experience but part of how it is shared, capturing the energy, atmosphere, and excitement of the game for viewers around the world. This project is a reminder that great design is often found in the details, quietly supporting the moments that bring people together.

Beyond football and world-stage events, Mercedes-Benz Stadium is also home to Atlanta United FC, where matchday energy fills the venue from the stands to the concourses. 

Atlanta United has its own connection to the global stage, with Miguel Almirón and Matías Galarza named to Paraguay’s roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. And for soccer fans who want to keep the energy going after the tournament, Atlanta United matchdays at Mercedes-Benz Stadium offer another chance to experience the atmosphere and excitement of one of the country’s top soccer venues.
