Helpmenow Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 To sanitize for me the new digs there This is why i hope they are careful about our stadium. Kill the atmosphere and the fanbase erodesfootball needs to be played friggin outside not in an air conditioned retractable dome
bobobonators Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) This is why i hope they are careful about our stadium. Kill the atmosphere and the fanbase erodes I'm not sure if we can draw any kind of conclusion about atmosphere being killed; from what I've read a "problem" is that people want to literally see the stadium almost as much as they want to watch the game. The stadium itself is an attraction; which i'm not sure that's a bad thing for the Falcons. Eventually it'll wear off and people will remain in their seats. Edited October 1, 2017 by bobobonators
Fadingpain Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Probably a bunch of southerners boycotting NFLmfor removing confederate statues Right. Or maybe it's just the fact that in Atlanta, like much of the south they care more about college football than the NFL. Georgia is all about the Georgia Bulldogs. The Falcons are an afterthought.
boyst Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 I was there, it was probably half way full. The concourses are very small. Some of the toilets were overflowing and you were standing and piss water. Beautiful sight lines, walked upstairs and looked around just an all-out great Stadium.
BillsFan130 Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 I was there. In the first quarter it was about 50% capacity. At most it got to be about 65% later in the game. That is terrible. Brand new stadium and a 3-0 team (before today) and only 65 percent capacity..
air2mud82 Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Stadium was nice, but the entire Fan Experience seems manufactured. The crowd typically only reacted to video screen prompts, and often there was so much going on in side the stadium it was hard to pay attention to anything. Surprised by the number of empty seats, especially the good seats between the thirties on the home side on the lower deck. Good experience for the most part I guess, but be warned, the bathroom situation might be the worse than football. Small bathrooms, lines a mile long, only one way in and out and no place to set a beer can near the urinal.
jr1 Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 tickets are expensive especially since the price of 4k tv's has come down
air2mud82 Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 And I'm not sure if this was already said or not, but I have to add that the harmonica rendition of the national anthem was one of the all-time worst performances I've ever heard. It was terrible
CodeMonkey Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 what is there too much to do like San Diego. bS Its actually true. Much better things to do for far less money on a beautiful day.

Boatdrinks Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Right. Or maybe it's just the fact that in Atlanta, like much of the south they care more about college football than the NFL. Georgia is all about the Georgia Bulldogs. The Falcons are an afterthought. This is probably closer to the truth. College ball is much bigger in that area. Falcons are just somewhere to hang out and be seen by the moneyed crowd in ATL.
CanadianFan Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 When and If Bills put a stadium downtown (since Pegulas bought all that land, most likely) will that kill the tailgate? Is there enough parking space?
Heavy Kevi Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 When and If Bills put a stadium downtown (since Pegulas bought all that land, most likely) will that kill the tailgate? Is there enough parking space? I think it will be the death of tailgating. I would rather just stay at the Ralph as it is in fine condition. Buffalo doesn't need an architectural attraction to fill the stadium, and the folks here don't have big $$$$ it takes to get tickets at a multi-gillion dollar stadium.
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Neither a great sports town nor a great town. Atlanta is not great at anything apart from business and mass suburbs.
Augie Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 The tail gate scene was awesome, if maybe a bit tight. I failed to get Duff's wings as time ran out and I wanted to see the stadium. Food lines were too long inside or I would have spent a lot more money. Bills fans, as always, showed up in force. The harmonica anthem was in my opinion horrific. I turned to the guy next to me and heard him say it was awesome. (He was an idiot.) All the empty seats made me wonder how I spent $800 for 3 decent seats, but I wasn't going to miss it. My seat next week in Cincy is less that $50. UGA doesn't have all those empty seats. It's all about college football here.
nucci Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Friend of mine lives in Atlanta and was there. Hates the stadium...concourses crowded and packed all the time

bobobonators Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 It would have been a full house if it were an SEC matchup. Probably. The Bills are a non-conference game. And quite honestly dont generate much buzz. It will probably be one of their lower selling games. Better for us though!
