Mercedes-Benz Stadium is the new a multi-purpose, retractable roof stadium in downtown Atlanta recently built for $1.6 billion. It seats 75,000 people and officials have stated that up to one million visitors would descend on the host city for previous Super Bowl weekends. Atlanta’s status in the music and film industry will help attract record numbers of visitors to a booming real estate market.

It estimated the Super Bowl would contribute $343 million to the region, including $29 million in tax revenue.
