Who legally owns it?

  • The state of Georgia , acting through the Georgia World Congress Center Authority (GWCCA), holds legal ownership of Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
  • This public ownership structure is similar to many major U.S. sports venues that are financed and controlled via state or local authorities.

Who runs and profits from it?

  • Day‑to‑day operations are handled by AMB Group, the parent company of the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United FC, founded by Arthur Blank.
  • AMB Group controls operations and receives the stadium’s operating profits, even though the facility itself is owned by the state.

What about “Mercedes‑Benz” in the name?

  • Mercedes-Benz does not own the stadium; it is a corporate naming partner whose agreement runs into the 2040s.
