Mercedes-Benz Stadium is on an accelerated construction schedule so it can open on time, but no one is ready to share the actual date of when it will open.

Stadium builders and developers presented a progress report Monday morning to the Development Committee of the Georgia World Congress Center Authority, and their sentiments are best described as being cautiously optimistic.

Tommy Holder, the CEO of Holder Construction, which is part of the HHRM (Holder, Hunt, Russell, Moody) construction team.

When asked what was keeping him up at night, Holder jokingly said: “I’m not going to sleep until we hit our date.”

When pressed about the date, Holder only said mid-summer, and when asked if that meant mid-July, he said that was a good guess.

But he also assured committee members a lot of work is underway inside the $1.5 billion stadium.

“Most of the concessions are built out. The locker rooms are under construction,” Holder said. “We are very optimistic we are going to hit our date.”

But with a project as complicated as Mercedes-Benz Stadium, there are a myriad of factors that can delay the project, including the long-awaited rain expected this week.

“A lot of people complain about the drought. We are not,” Holder said.

But if there are many rainy days between now and mid-summer, it could alter to schedule.

“We are in a compressed schedule. We are accelerating the project to get finished,” Holder said, acknowledging that the project was running a bit behind from the original timeline. ”We have a very tight and very ambitious schedule.”

It might not open on time

Initially they said it was supposed to be done by June. Now they're not even giving an estimated finish date

Sucks

This week we face the Chiefs. When we played the Chargers, Phillip Rivers was able to dink and dunk on the defense. This is exactly what Alex Smith likes to do.

However, Our defense played good against the Cardinals ( which imo had the more explosive weapons to deal with) I don't see KC being able to keep up with our offensive output.

We have Teco back , Freeman is doing his thing and a lot of offensive weaponry with competent enough qb

The alarm hasn't been sounded where I'm at so.............................I guess it's a question of how close to the first pre-season game.

That was a typo. It should have read as "haven't". That said, so much of the technology hasn't been accomplished before so the delays are crazy.
