In Atlanta, Georgia, Mercedes-Benz Stadium is the world's most advanced stadium and features the most complex retractable roof ever built. The new home of the Atlanta Falcons will hold 75,000 fans and use the world's biggest scoreboard, a 360-degree, 62,000-square-foot video screen called a halo board. The construction crew races to finish the $1.5 billion stadium for the 2017 NFL season, facing deadly winds and unique engineering challenges.

"World's Greatest Stadium" is the original title when it first aired on the Science Channel. SciChan now calls it "Super Stadium" and TVDB also made this change. I felt this important to document here just in case someone decides to change this episode title.
Retitled, this episode re-aired as "Rise of the Mega Stadium" on 9/9/2020 at 2200 with a summary of "The most cutting edge venue in the world, Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium, hosts the greatest athletes in the world, and engineers show how this state-of-the-art arena was designed and constructed."
It aired after the new special "NFL Super Stadiums" added under Specials.
This episode re-aired as Season 1, Episode 9, titled "Big Game Stadium," on January 31, 2019, just before the stadium hosted Super Bowl LIII.
