Wire shows us a nice view of how things are coming along on the new stadium that the Atlanta Falcons will be playing in, as well as how it looks next to the Georgia Dome. Falcons fans should be getting pretty excited about what the new stadium will be like when all is said and done.

According to Rachel Whittaker of NOLA.com, the stadium has cost $1.5 billion to build, so you can probably guess how extravagant it will be.
