Georgia High School Football Daily is reporting that talks are underway to return the Georgia high school football state championships back to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the Atlanta Falcons.
The Georgia High School Association moved the finals from M-B after the 2018 season to Georgia State’s Center Parc Stadium, an outside facility. From 2008 to 2016, the Georgia Dome hosted the championship games. The finals were moved to Mercedes-Benz Stadium when it opened in 2017. However, that year, due to a snow storm, the championship games were moved to high school stadiums.

GHSFD reports in its story that attendance at Center Parc has averaged 25,039 fans over the last three year. Attendance inside at MBS was 40,463 in 2018.
According to the GHSFB story, the championships could head inside as soon as 2023.
This year’s championship games will be played December 8-10 at Georgia State.
