Pitching In: The Eagles behind the scenes at Atlanta Stadium (Mercedes-Benz Stadium)
“As I look out over that 105-meter patch of grass on the westside of Atlanta every day, I feel a deep pride that I had a key role with my crew of men and women in making a phenom like the World Cup happen in my home city.”
As the Assistant Manager of Conversions, Scott Wootten (‘18) coordinates across multiple departments to turn logistical plans into physical changes at Atlanta Stadium. Long before the first ball was kicked on the Atlanta pitch, Scott was in planning meetings mapping out stadium transformations. From setting up media and security rooms to laying down turf protectant for fan tailgates and ensuring over 4,000 daily staff members are fed, Scott and his team are the group that turns big ideas into flawless action.
“The hard work and time dedicated to making an event of this magnitude go off with little to no disaster is a modern marvel of the sheer will and talent of all parties involved.”
