Seven of the Atlanta Falcons’ eight home games at their new stadium this season will be held on Sunday, which means one very important thing for fans at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium — there will be only one opportunity to eat Chick-fil-A during the regular season.
As ESPN’s Darren Rovell notes, there is a Chick-fil-A restaurant inside the NFL’s newest venue. Of course, all Chick-fil-A locations are closed on Sundays. The one inside the Mercedes-Benz Stadium will be no exception.

Falcons fans have only one chance to get their Chick-fil-A fix during the regular season, and that will be during a Thursday night game on Dec. 7. However, the team’s two preseason home games are on Saturday, Aug. 26 and Thursday, Aug. 31. If you’re planning to go to a Falcons game that doesn’t fall on one of those three dates, you had better start thinking about food options other than Chick-fil-A.
We know at least one NBA player who would be drooling outside the Chick-fil-A stand on Sundays. Don’t be surprised if that ends up happening with a handful of Falcons fans.
