Now is anyone watching this Falcons game? The Falcons are leading the division and look at how empty the dome is on tv. This is downright PITIFUL. The dome doesnt even look halfway full.

Yeah. That is kind of lame but if they keep the cheapest ticket at $50 I won't be attending any games anytime soon. I thought Blank was making so that us wretched plebes could afford to attend games.

lol the reason for that is because half the people that go to those games do so to see the other team. It was the same way the last time the Cowboys played here. The dome was full and i'd honestly say 55% of the people there had on Cowboys jerseys. Same with the Hawks... no one goes to regular games but when Lebron or Kobe come to town you cant even get a seat. It is what it is.

I dont get it honestly. When some dislikes something about at Atl, the same 8 people go into attack mode, never really getting a true understanding for where people are coming from. There are trolls of course, but many are not.

Take a look at your post history and bck2dc post history and then ask yourself if you are trolling are not.

Falcon fans are usually late. It was sold out. I was at the game.

Then where were all of the fans... walking around? They certainly werent in the stands and I watched the whole game. As a matter of fact the crowd got even more thin as the game went on. Plus one thing to keep in mind is that scalpers buy up a HUGE portion of those tickets.

I have been to numerous sporting events over the years and even when it's a sell out all seats are never taken at the same time. People are fashionably late (check L.A Lakers, Atlanta Falcons). Some people are in the restroom or buying food. Plus I'm sure a portion of tickets sold are people who just don't show up or leave early. In the case of the Falcons ticket sales are going so well it's getting harder to buy group tickets. That's a sign that people are coming to the Dome to see the team. What you think you see on TV isn't what's going on. You should come out see yourself.
