The roof at Mercedes Benz Stadium-open or closed?

[GAVol]

I still appreciate the locals nick named that place Megatron's butthole.

I’ve literally never heard that outside of a message board. Thank God.

I saw on the internet no stripes. So it must be true.

Maybe it was just an old pic meant to show the jersey only. The pic was no pants stripes.

I work about a mile away. I have never heard it once.

Don’t think I’d have told that.

Given that the Falcons occasionally stink the place up, I'll allow it.

It was 40% when I made the game thread. 16% now (Weather.gov)

The roof will be in "why did I eat a chili burrito for breakfast and when will this sermon be over?" mode.

Clenched.

So. We’re back to proctology terms…

Hourly forecasts only serve to give us a false sense of preparedness when leaving the house.

My forecast this morning said "Temperatures hotter than expected."
Wait. Expected by whom? Was there a coup at the weather station?

Which ended [sic] in a Natty, IIRC.

Anyone know if the roof will be open for the game? Is that a decision made beforehand or day of, based on weather?

They opened the roof for The Rolling Stones concert last summer and it was really cool.

Temp or atmosphere?

The breeze was nice as it was in June. The atmosphere was pretty good too.

Good thing I’m shameless.

I’m actually shocked y’all have never heard MBS called Megatron’s B*++hole.

I think I first heard it after they revealed the first design drawings before they even blew up the Dome.

Besides, as a Saints fan I think it’s patently hilarious.

Oh I get it. Once you hear it, you can’t unsee it when they open the roof. But I seriously have never heard it except on here. And when you see the halo live, it doesn’t enter your mind.

The halo is quite nice indeed.

Down to 2% chance. Maybe they open it

It’s 40 minutes to kickoff. I’d bet on it staying shut.
