A stadium with a more puzzle box roof opening is the working favorite for the new playing field for the Atlanta Falcons.

During a stadium committee meeting Monday of the Georgia World Congress Center Authority, the stadium’s architect revealed it preferred a concept of a geometric roof design in which a series of panels would open directly above the football field.

The lead architect for the planned new Atlanta Falcons stadium, Kansas City-based 360 Architecture, has selected 3 Atlanta-based firms to partner in the design of the facility, the Falcons said Friday.

The three firms – Goode Van Slyke Architecture, Stanley Beaman & Sears and tvsdesign
