A project charter should be created for the construction of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. The document must include an overview of the project, set expectations for participants and stakeholders, and be more than four pages but less than five pages. The cover page is not included in the page count and should be clearly labeled. The formatting is at the discretion of the drafter, allowing for personal style and presentation. The document should be comprehensive, including key elements typically found in a project charter, such as project objectives, scope, stakeholders, high-level requirements, assumptions, constraints, and risks. Additionally, a sixth page must be included, serving as a signature page for all relevant stakeholders, organizations, agencies, and departments involved in the project, with placeholder names if necessary. Since this is a drafting exercise, no outside sources or citations are required.

Project Overview:

The construction of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, represents one of the most ambitious and innovative sports and entertainment infrastructure projects undertaken in the southeastern United States. This state-of-the-art stadium, designed to host the Atlanta Falcons (NFL), Atlanta United FC (MLS), and various other events, aims to provide a world-class venue that enhances the city’s reputation as a premier destination for sports, concerts, and large-scale events. The project encompasses the design, development, and construction of a highly sustainable, technologically advanced, and fan-centric stadium facility with a seating capacity exceeding 70,000 attendees.

Project Objectives:

  • Deliver a sustainable, energy-efficient stadium that meets LEED Platinum standards.
  • Create a versatile, fan-friendly environment with superior sightlines, acoustics, and amenities.
  • Complete the project within the allocated budget and schedule to ensure operational readiness for the 2017 NFL season.
  • Incorporate innovative technologies for safety, security, and immersive fan experiences.
  • Foster community engagement and economic development through the stadium's construction and operation.

Scope of Work:

The project scope includes site preparation, architectural and engineering design, foundation, structural work, roofing, seating, interior finishes, electrical and plumbing systems, and exterior landscaping. Special emphasis is given to sustainability features such as solar power, water recycling, and environmentally friendly building materials. The scope also covers the installation of advanced AV systems, lighting, security infrastructure, and transportation upgrades to support stadium access.
