In 2017, The Atlanta Falcons will have a new home at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. This new stadium will offer Atlanta many new opportunities ranging from Super Bowls to College Football Bowl Games to a new soccer franchise. The benefits that this stadium will bring to Atlanta will enrich the city for decades to come.

The last time Atlanta hosted the Super Bowl was 16 years ago and the efforts of Arthur Blank, the Falcons Owner had been futile. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has indicated in 2010 that the Georgia Dome doesn't have enough amenities to host a Super Bowl, and that Atlanta would have to build a new stadium to host the event. The new stadium will allow Atlanta to host another Super Bowl, and Atlanta is a finalist for the 2019 and 2020 Super Bowls. This event would bring tourists from across the country to attend, bringing in revenue for business across the city.

The Mercedes-Benz Stadium has already gotten several college football events. The College Football Playoffs(CFP) National Championship Game will be held at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in 2018. In addition to the CFP National Championship, The Mercedes-Benz Stadium will host the annual SEC Championship Game and the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl each year. The stadium has attracted national attention and will be bringing many popular events to Atlanta.

The Mercedes-Benz Stadium can also be used as a soccer stadium, and it will be the host of Atlanta United FC, an expansion team of MLS. This will increase revenue for Atlanta, popularity of soccer, and the importance of the stadium.

As the Mercedes-Benz Stadium is a great venue for soccer matches, it will be an excellent venue for a United States hosted World Cup. The USA could bid for the World Cup soon, and the Mercedes-Benz Stadium is an excellent place to host games.

In addition to sporting events, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium will be able to host other popular events. The stadium could potentially host events such as circuses and concerts. The versatility that a large stadium such as the Mercedes-Benz Stadium has to offer shows the benefit that it has on the city.

Atlanta has taken a step forward into continuing its rich sports history. By constructing the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta will once again be in consideration for important national events. The stadium has already been awarded the 2018 CFP National Championship, two annual bowl games, and MLS expansion team. As the years go on, Atlanta will continue to enjoy the rewards of building the stadium.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
