A similarly reduced seating capacity is likely for the Chick-fil-A Kickoff college football games scheduled at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in early September, although it's unclear at this point how many, if any, of those games will be played.
Rovak said the plan is to have the stadium clubs, restaurants, bars and concession stands open at Falcons games, but not the on-field patios. The reduced capacity will translate to smaller gatherings in the clubs.
Plans are still being developed for details such as new concession-stand procedures and new gate-entry processes.
