The Falcons played their first game at the Georgia Dome on September 6, 1992 when over 70,000 fans filled the stadium. Three tiers of seats circle the entire gridiron. Every seat from the lower to the upper deck has a great view of the field. The roof is made of Teflon and fiberglass. The Georgia Dome has many amenities including several food courts, the In-Zone Restaurant, Kickers Sports Bar, Millers Lodge, over 4,600 club seats and 164 luxury suites. After the 2002 season, the surface of the Georgia Dome was changed from Astroturf to Fieldturf. In 2006, a $30 million renovation plan was approved to upgrade the Georgia Dome. Luxuries areas were updated, eight new super-suites were created and new LED ribbon-boards were installed. Before the 2008 season all of the original teal seats were replaced with new red and black seats, the facade was repainted, concourses were upgraded and new High-Definition videoboards were installed. The Georgia Dome has hosted Super Bowls XXXIV in 1994 and XXVIII in 2000. It also hosted several Olympic events in 1996, was the home of the Atlanta Hawks (NBA) in 1998-'99, and hosted the NCAA Men's Final Four in 2003 and 2007. Each year the Georgia Dome is home to the SEC Football Championship and the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
