Atlanta Falcons’ new stadium features Chick-fil-A stand — which will be closed on Sundays
Washington Times ^ | August 16, 2017 | Josh Luckenbaugh

Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the new home of the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United FC set to open later this month, will feature a Chick-fil-A concession stand. One problem for hungry Falcons fans: just like all Chick-fil-A locations, the stand will be closed on Sundays.

But as people have noted the odd thing is that most games are on Sundays, when they are closed. Hard to sell chicken when you are closed.

Those are the ones currently scheduled

Ten events out of fifty...let hat sure isn’t 99%. More like 20.

I guess the heat has gotten to you.

For living in Arizona you sure seem bent about what one Chik Fil A site is doing.

I thought I heard that Popeye’s bought them.

There was an article here on FR a week or so ago that stated that CFA blew away all other fast food restaurants in the amount of annual revenue per store. ...I doubt that they will sell.

My game room right next to Shibe Park, Crosley Field and Comiskey Park.

College games are played on every day of the week when you factor bowl games, except Sundays

From everything I’ve read, everyone, including Aquintus, said it was basically to differentiate judism from Christianity. That this new ‘thing’ was a seperate religion and not merely a sect of Judaism. But im not Christian, just a big reader of history.

That’s their ADVERTISED rate of events.

99% is the amount of time the BUILDING is closed. Remember most of those events are only open to the public for under 6 hours. The simple fact of the matter leasing business space at a stadium is generally a mistake, they charge a lot of money, largely for access to the “big market” (in this case the NFL audience), but you don’t get very much access, you’re open very few hours (one stadium store I knew said they were only open about 400 hours a year), and you just can’t make back the money. If it’s a bad when you’ll be open for the NFL games, it’s a worse idea when you won’t.

Not bent at all. You’re the one who decided we couldn’t have a polite conversation on the topic.

All Chik Fil A restaurants close at 1930pm. I guess they are dumb for doing that too

The Christian radio station I listen to says the Chick-Fil-A in the stadium is open on Sundays. They made an exception.

Guess they got it wrong. It’s closed.

No, I didn’t say any of it’s dumb, that’s your need for aggression showing up again. And our CFAs are open until 10. a 7:30 close time would be a really bad idea in a concert venue.

OK, when baseball falls out of favor with the socially elite parasitical class, and the government makes you get rid of them, give me a call.

Tons. More Atlanta United games than Falcons games. College football. Concerts. Falcons only play there 10 x a year and at least 2 of those are not on Sunday (pre-season). Could easily have a Monday night game,as well.
