Watch: Here's What Sports Fans Are Feasting On Inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium

ATLANTA, GA -- For years and years game day used to be same day when it came to food options inside major football stadiums of the NFL: hot dogs, burgers, soda, nachos, etc. But Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium is ushering in a new era. With the Atlanta Falcons debuting inside the new venue Saturday night, there's no better place to eat in the city.

Gone are the days when you had to settle for a burger-beer menu and that's it, the new stadium literally has a feast for the senses. (SIGN UP: Get Patch's Daily Newsletter and Real Time News Alerts. Or, if you have an iPhone, download the free Patch app.)

Fans are getting their first chance to grub on Saturday, Aug. 26 as the Falcons play the Arizona Cardinals for their first preseason game. Atlanta's opener will be Sept. 17 against the Green Bay Packers.

Mike Gomes, senior vice president of Fan Experience at the stadium, said that "The variety of our food menu extends across the entirety of our concessions program." Aside from the food, one of the things that sets this program apart are the prices.

"Not only will the food be delicious and be great, it's also priced at a fan-first price," Gomes said. "These specialty items -- we're not calling them premium because premium means high-priced -- these specialty crafted, hand-crafted concessions are what we have on every floor of the stadium."
