The Falcons have sold personal seat licenses for roughly one-third of the seats in the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, totaling about $140 million in sales, according to figures obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
According to the figures obtained from the Georgia World Congress Center Authority under an open-records request, the Falcons have sold PSLs to 22,434 seats for a total of $140.3 million. The figures include sales contracts submitted by the Falcons to the GWCCA through Oct. 30.
The revenue generated from the PSLs — one-time fees required for the right to buy Falcons season tickets — will go toward the cost of building the $1.4 billion stadium, under construction next to the Georgia Dome.
The new Falcons stadium has a seating capacity of 71,000 seats. It will open by the 2017 NFL season.
