USMCBillsFan Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 My XO (exectutive officer) scored 10 tickets to the Falcons / Rams game this weekend. It's about an 8 hour drive but I don't have to pay for the ticket. I really don't like either team but it would be cool to go to Atlanta and soak up some playoff atmosphere. Would you go?

Simon Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 If it was anyplace but Atlanta I would advise you go in a heartbeat. But considering you're dealing with a fanbase that lacks a heartbeat, I'd consider the possibility of an 8hr drive home with the disappointment that you just wasted all that time to go see a game in which the "playoff atmosphere" was likely far less than the excitement which can be found at any Bills regular season game in OP.

pm73 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 do you have to drive back the same day or are you staying over night? if you have to make two 8hr drives in one day then i wouldn't even go if it was, ok i'll admit it, the bills in the superbowl! if you're staying over night then it might be worth it. personally i still wouldn't do it since the game is on tv and i have heard the atlanta atmosphere isn't that contagious. it's not the drive there, it's the drive back. even if the game is good, that drive back will suck. if it ends up to be a crappy game.........

It's a long weekend so I can take my time. I know the fan base there kind of sucks but I'm hoping that the playoffs will juice it up a little bit. Screw it, I'm going. I'm wearing all my McGahee jersey and Bills hat too. What the hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyMark Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Free is Free is Free. The upside, you have no vested interest or emotions linked to either team so you CANNOT be dissappointed with the outcome. Hence, no pressure plus going with a group of friends might equal a great time. Negatives: as you and all have already said, an 8 hour drive is an 8 hour drive. Not much fun in that unless it is in a 15 passenger van with everyone then it could be fun. Bottom line, if you have the time and do not have another responsibility at home, go.

BRH Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 USMC, can you find a cheap flight from Myrtle Beach to Atlanta? On Hooters Air? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Coli Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 There is no dilemna. You go. You go and you get hammered because it's a free ticket and the money you would have used on that ticket is now free for booze and "incidentals". You go because we can't.
