ATLANTA (AP) -Atlanta Falcons president Rich McKay says the team wants a new stadium.
McKay says the Falcons are hoping to have a new facility by 2015 to 2017.
Even if the Falcons get what they want, it appears the Georgia Dome isn’t going away.
Frank Poe, the executive director of the Georgia World Congress Center which manages the Georgia Dome, tells The Associated Press on Friday that the facility may be renovated but it won’t be torn down.
Poe says a new open-air stadium for the Falcons would complement, not replace, the Georgia Dome, which opened in 1992.
Poe says the Georgia Dome must be kept to draw such events as the Chick-fil-A Bowl, SEC championship game, 2013 Final Four and SEC basketball tournaments in 2011 and 2014.
