HOMEFIELD ADVANTAGE
A one-of-a-kind virtual reality fan experience, a mural that portrays the city’s history and one of the most eco-conscious stadiums in the world — they’re all part of Georgia State’s work to make Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta a standout.
Call the Play
Georgia State has teamed up with the United Way and Futurus, an Atlanta-based tech company, to create an interactive virtual reality experience for fans at the NFL’s Super Bowl Experience Driven by Hyundai. The “Call the Play” VR attraction at the Georgia World Congress Center is hosted by NFL legend Jerry Rice and transports fans into the middle of Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The Sustainable Game
At 305 feet tall, the 71,000-seat, $1.5 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium — home of Super Bowl LIII — looms over westside Atlanta. It’s colossal, but it’s no typical energy hog, says Tim Kellison, an assistant professor in the College of Education & Human Development and an international authority on urban policy and sport management. As Kellison tells it, the home of the Super Bowl is one of the most sustainable stadiums in the world.
Wonder Wall
Artist Shanequa Gay (M.F.A. ’19) created a mural as part of a city-wide initiative led by the Atlanta Super Bowl Host Committee and the arts nonprofit WonderRoot to tell Atlanta’s civil rights and social justice journey. Her mural in the Vine City MARTA station, “Excuse Me While I Kiss the Sky,” is a tribute to homeless teens she met from Covenant House.
