Atlanta and Chick-fil-A go together like football and Sundays — the only issue is the Sundays part.

The Falcons are set to open the brand new Mercedes-Benz Stadium this year with all the trimmings, including a Chick-fil-A. There's just one problem: The renowned chicken sandwich chain doesn't plan to change its 6-day a week policy, according to a report from the Boston Globe.

The chain has closed on Sundays since 1946 on orders from its owner, according to the report, to "set aside one day to rest and worship if they choose."

Chick-fil-A's headquarters are located in Atlanta; seven of the Falcons' regular season games will be on Sundays this season.

The $1.5 billion stadium is set to host its first game when the Falcons face the Arizona Cardinals in the preseason on Aug. 26 (a Saturday).

The new stadium, which was built right next door to the Georgia Dome, is already set to host three major events. The championship game of the College Football Playoff will be held next January, followed by the Super Bowl in 2019 and the NCAA men's Final Four in 2020.

Also, the committee that hopes to bring the 2026 World Cup to the United States, Mexico and Canada has included Mercedes-Benz Stadium on the list of facilities that could possibly host games.

"It does feel like we've run a long, long marathon. We can almost see the finish line," McKay said. But, he quickly added, "We've got 500,000 people that are going to enter this building in the first 10 days. That marathon may be ending, but just beginning."
