President John's Message

They have visions of championship trophies dancing in their heads in anticipation of the College Football Playoff semi-final in the Peach Bowl later this month. What a great time to have the football world focused on our city and our magnificent stadium. This week we will hear from one of the men who built Mercedes Benz Stadium, Pete Pemantell with Holder Construction.
