The Mercedes-Benz Stadium is opening this month in Atlanta, Georgia and will host Atlanta Falcons' NFL games. However, there is one problem for some fans. The stadium's brand new Chick-fil-A food stand will be closed on the days that the Falcons play.
Zaxby's now the official chicken of the Falcons. That doesn't mean Chick Fil-A isn't in the new stadium. It is closed on Sundays, however. pic.twitter.com/TfCIa3rz5T

Throughout the country, the popular fast-food chain closes its doors on Sundays. It is a well-known company policy.
A Thursday night game on Dec. 7 against the Saints will be the only time an NFL fan can eat at the stadium’s Georgia-based fast-food chain.
Now, some are questioning the restaurant's policy.
They're *real* devoted to the closed on Sunday thing huh.

Not trying to be rude but why built one in the stadium then?

Some think its unfair.
Should not be legal to tease your fans like this
