News / GEORGIA DOME HOSTS THREE GAMES IN FOUR DAYS

No one was busier over the New Years weekend than the Georgia Dome. With the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, which is traditionally scheduled for that weekend, the last Falcons game of the season and a one-time opportunity to host the Sugar Bowl, the Dome was home to three football games in four days—a phenomena the stadium has never experienced.

The weekend was a roaring success thanks to the dedicated staff of the Georgia Dome. Every single aspect of the Dome had to be in perfect condition for each event which required cleaning, restocking, changing signage and putting give-away bags on the back of each of the chairs in the arena. From every suite to concession stand to bathroom, every square inch of the stadium had to look like it was only hosting one event that weekend.

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the change over was the field itself. New logos had to be painted onto the field for each of the events and the hash marks had to be changed from college regulation to pro and then back to college. With the time it takes to clean, dry, paint and dry the field this was quite a feat.
