(August 29, 2025) – Sports Illustrated Tickets and the Atlanta Falcons today announced a multi-year partnership to deliver next-level fan experiences at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, beginning with the 2025 NFL season. The alliance establishes Sports Illustrated Tickets as An Official Fan Experience Partner of the Atlanta Falcons and will debut during the team’s home opener on September 7 against division rival Tampa Bay.
As part of the six-year partnership, Falcons fans will have access to a unique ticket package combining game admission with a framed Sports Illustrated Fan Cover keepsake and two issues of the legendary magazine. Details are available at sitickets.com/falcons.
Beyond the ticket package, this collaboration showcases a signature new space: the “Sports Illustrated Tickets Lounge” – a hospitality destination located on the 300-level concourse of Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Designed to accommodate more than 750 guests, the spacious club offers an upscale yet accessible Falcons gameday experience featuring panoramic field views, all-inclusive culinary offerings and unlimited non-alcoholic beverages, high-top seating, and more – all for one affordable price.
Inside the Lounge, fans will experience SI Defining Moments, an interactive storytelling platform celebrating Atlanta’s rich sports culture through 70 years of Sports Illustrated covers, original articles, and award-winning photography. Curated displays will spotlight the Falcons, Atlanta United, historic college football matchups, and other defining events that have shaped the city’s sports legacy.
Faces in the Crowd will further personalize gameday by capturing fans’ most electric reactions –using a network of 4K cameras throughout the venue, these moments can be instantly transformed into SI-branded game tickets and digital Sports Illustrated Fan Covers as a take-home memento.
