How We Checked This Page
Every section below names the source it was read from and the day it was read. Where we could not reach a published figure, the page says so rather than presenting an estimate as a checked fact.
- Parking guidance
Official Mercedes-Benz Stadium parking and tailgate guidelines plus the parking-and-transportation overview, read 2026-08-14: the 4.5-hour opening and two-hour closing, the midnight tailgating cutoff for evening events, the 20,000-space walking radius, and the vehicle prohibitions. No lot names, no prices, no ADA rules, no bus policy, no road closures and no map URL are published.
- Venue policies
Current Mercedes-Benz Stadium A-Z, accessibility, concessions, and Falcons event guidance reviewed for all structured venue-policy topics.
Not yet checked against a published source
These figures are estimates. Most venues no longer publish the numbers behind them — concession and ticket pricing moved to dynamic marketplaces — so we hold them as estimates rather than dating them as verified.
- Parking prices — Never checked against a published rate: the venue's parking page, read 2026-09-05, publishes none — the page covers hangtags, mobile passes and a 4.5-hour opening, with no figure for any lot. The 2026-07-27 figures were compiled from third-party listings (was: "Mercedes-Benz Stadium 2026 regular season: outer surface lots from about $20 to $75+ for premium covered deck on high-demand dates").
