Reigning NFL MVP Matt Ryan was given a sneak peek of the Atlanta Falcons' new home and couldn't help but marvel at some of the details in the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
In a video posted to the Falcons' Twitter account, team president and CEO Rich McKay walked Ryan through the stadium as construction nears completion. The franchise quarterback was in awe of the 1,075-foot, 360-degree wraparound scoreboard.
"Oh, my God!" Ryan exclaimed. "I've seen pictures of it and talked to a lot of people in our organization about it, so I know a lot about this place, but even when I walked in, it's just pretty unbelievable."
Ryan said he can't wait for the team's home opener, a Sunday night, primetime matchup against the Green Bay Packers in Week 2.
