A preview of the new Falcons stadium...or Arthurs Anus...or Kuechly Indoor Arena...

So I just came across this article about the Falcons new stadium.

Like the team or not, but they are getting a pretty freaking amazing stadium.  It will be considered an outdoor stadium that can close to become indoor (takes only 7 minutes to open/shut).  There will be tons of bathrooms and concession stands, as well as LED lighting.  It will be the first LEED Platnium certified sports complex, which is really cool.  Also, there will be a 50 ft tall, 360 degree Video monitor, which will be the largest in the world, and It will also be 3D.  

Check out the article, looks pretty dope.

It only makes me wonder when the Panthers get their new stadium?  You can only do so much to BOA before its time to completely rebuild.

The location of the video board is surely going to cause some neck issues. At least the Cowboys video board hangs much lower above the field and is angled toward the fans. That thing is going to be way up there and I doubt even half of the upper deck will get an unobstructed view of it. It's a cool concept but I think the execution will be quite poor.

BOA is classic and isn't going anywhere. As long as it is kept up to date with regular renovations I think we will play there for another 20 years. Location is great and I think it is a great looking stadium. Not a bad seat in the house.

While that new place does look great, all the bells and whistles won't change the fact that it resembles a butt hole. Call me old fashioned but I prefer our place.

Gotta admit that's a beautiful anus

Doesn't Mercedes Benz already has the naming rights to the aints dome? Greedy bastards lol

rumor is that they'll drop the Superdome branding when that term expires.  Benz' new US corporate HQ is being built in Atlanta.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
