File under... "maybe not such a great idea"

So the stadium that hosts the Atlanta Falcons football games (Mercedes Benz Stadium) has added a Chick-fil-A ... but there is one problem.... the chicken chain is never open on Sundays!!

Seven of the Falcons’ eight regular season home games are on Sunday this season. But on the positive side,  the stadium will host numerous other non-Sunday events,  and a Garth Brooks concert on Oct. 12, a Thursday.

Chick-fil-A has been closed on Sundays since 1946 on orders from founder Truett Cathy.
