Site Facilities
Field – 3rd Generation Turf, this field included permanent and water washable paint for the outlines of the American Football markings and Atlanta Falcons emblem. Holding a multi-purpose use, this field staged wrestle mania events and music concerts.
Locker Rooms – We visited the Locker Rooms of the Atlanta Falcons which had a Coaches Lounge and Head Coaches Office.
Verizon Suite – Verizon bought a section of the Georgia Dome to stage cell phone deals for big sales and use this as an advertising scheme.
Media Room – The media room had no glass enclosure and is the longest room in the NFL. This is where the press meet to write up match reports and calculate statistics.
Super Suite – The Super Suite was a collective suite where a fan could buy one leather seat in a section of the Georgia Dome and have more space, free buffet and drinks included. In addition this offer was available for 3, 5 and 7 years.
Career Possibilities
Alex the tour guide limited the tour to facilities only and I did not get much information on potential career opportunities. However I do believe there are a lot of opportunities out there at the GA Dome. Event Management is one option, as the Dome offers many different events ranging from Wrestle Mania, Basketball Games and Music Concerts, as well as its usual Saturday and Sunday Fixtures.
What did you learn from the visit?
To be honest, I did not take much Career Related learning from the experience, but it was nice to see the background to the Atlanta Falcons and learn the history behind the Georgia Dome.
