Florida A&M’s Epic Showdown Shifts to Atlanta’s Iconic Mercedes-Benz Stadium—What’s Really Behind the Move?
Per the Tallahassee Democrat, Suggs announced that the Rattlers’ October 4th matchup with the Delta Devils will take place in Meredes-Benz Stadium last Friday.
“They decided they were coming to FAMU, Georgia ― also known as Atlanta,” Suggs said. “So on October 4, we won’t be in Itta Bena, Mississippi. We will play Mississippi Valley State University in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.”
Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the Atlanta Falcons, is a new venue for what will certainly be a huge matchup for Florida A&M, as Mississippi Valley State beat them 24-21 last season. The loss against the then-winless Delta Devils snapped a historic win streak for the program. Entering the game, the Rattlers boasted a 23-game winning streak at Bragg Memorial Stadium dating back to 2018. Mississippi Valley State, meanwhile, had a streak of their own as they’d gone over a year without winning any games.
