WATCH: Iconic Georgia Dome is Demolished

The iconic Georgia Dome in Atlanta has been completely destroyed by way of demolition this morning.

The arena — which has hosted Olympics, Super Bowl, and countless other major sporting events — was destroyed after its 25 years in the ATL. It has been replaced by the nearby Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which was erected earlier this year.

CNN reports that it will take three months for crews to clean up the rubble and what is left of the building’s structure before new construction can begin in the area. Check out fans, local organizations, and commentators saying their goodbyes to the stadium on Twitter below:

Can’t believe the Georgia Dome is no more. Fantastic venue that hosted so many incredible games and events. Testament to Atlanta’s phenomenal economy that they can just blow that place up. Still better than many stadiums.
