Roof issues threaten to delay Mercedes-Benz Stadium opening (Yahoo Sports)

The Atlanta Falcons hope to have an update soon on whether issues regarding its new stadium - notably, its roof - will again delay its projected opening day. Challenges in building the retractable roof of Mercedes-Benz Stadium also raise questions about whether the Falcons could play in the stadium before the roof is operable, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported (http://bit.ly/2nkePNx ). The Falcons say they'll have an update on the construction timeline within the next few days.
