GEORGIA
DOME HOSTS THREE GAMES IN FOUR DAYS |
No
one was busier over the New Years weekend
than the Georgia Dome. With the Chick-fil-A
Peach Bowl, the last Falcons game of the season
and a one-time opportunity to host the Sugar
Bowl, the Dome was home to three football
games in four days—a phenomena the stadium
has never experienced.
The weekend was a roaring success thanks to
the dedicated staff of the Georgia Dome. Every
single aspect of the Dome had to be in perfect
condition for each event which required cleaning,
restocking, changing signage and putting give-away
bags on the back of each of the chairs in
the arena. From every suite to concession
stand to bathroom, every square inch of the
stadium had to look like it was only hosting
one event that weekend.
Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the
change over was the field itself. New logos
had to be painted onto the field for each
of the events and the hash marks had to be
changed from college regulation to pro and
then back to college. With the time it takes
to clean, dry, paint and dry the field this
was quite a feat.
