Falcons fans can request Cheerleaders to their seats

The Atlanta Falcons are giving their season-ticket holders an opportunity that surely many won’t pass up: a visit to their seats from cheerleaders during home games.

ESPN’s Darren Rovell has details on the unique plan:

It’s part of the team’s “Memories” program, which seeks to give the team’s most loyal fans experiences that they will remember.

Fans can use memory points, which they are awarded based on longevity of being a season-ticket holder, to stand on the field during the player intros, get a personal visit from the team mascot or receive an autograph from a Falcons player.

But it’s the cheerleader visit that has been getting the most attention.

Still, the Falcons recognize there is the possibility of ugliness by sending cheerleaders to fans and it’s something they are prepared for.

“It’s not like you can order them to your seat after you’ve had eight beers,” said Jim Smith, the team’s chief marketing and revenue officer.

(…)

“If things don’t look right, we’re not going there,” Smith said. “But often, we’ve seen this is ordered by families whose daughters cheer and want to meet the girls.”

Rovell reports that cheerleaders will be escorted by security to those who order this visit.

With the proper pre-cautions in place, this is a pretty cool idea by the Falcons. Cheerleaders are obviously a big part of the fan experience and Atlanta has come up with a method of making it even bigger.

GET ON IT JERRY!!!

Aside from the occasional girl who cheers wanting to meet a professional (as mentioned), I don't see anything but creepiness, awkward situations, and more cheerleader lawsuits coming out of this.

Why is this news?

 

 

The Checkers do it, doesn't seem like that big of a deal. They came and sat with my cousin during one game after I tweeted a picture and tagged the Checkers in it. Made his night, he had a blast. They put us on the jumbotron and everything.

This won't end well.

would be kind of a slap in the face to be a cheerleader. you work hard and bust your hump every week, only take home a measley 50 bucks.

 

 

As if that's not enough, now they have to go up in the stands and make appearances with fans as if they're hooters girls.  How degrading.

So lap dances come with the season passes...one way to get asses in the seats.

So, you accumulate points for watching bad football and get a lap dance in return?

Sorry, my number is a little out of date. Internet says the falcons pay $75 per game.
