In a story that aired on April 19, 2017, by CBS 46, Simon Bloom offers insight on the delayed opening of Mercedes-Benz Stadium due to delays in the project’s construction.
Because of complications with the stadium’s retractable roof, the Georgia Dome will remain standing until further notice. Bloom said he had concerns with that idea. “When they say we’re not 
going to tear down the Georgia Dome yet, there’s no downside of leaving it up, to me that says, yeah, we think it’s going to be another 10, 12, 15, 26 days, but we’re not going to throw the life boat overboard before the ship starts to sink. We want to make sure we have that life boat just in case something unforeseen comes up,” Bloom said. He goes on to mention that season ticket holders have an argument but not a viable lawsuit for the delay of the stadium’s opening.
