Everyone is just going to pile on because it's ATL.

This is FANTASTIC!  Let me say this again... FANTASTIC!

Today's NFL games need to compete with the home viewing experience. Reducing the concession pricings is going to go along way to help win this battle.  It costs a pretty penny to take the whole family to a game, let alone what you will pay for parking and food/drinks.   This is a great first step.

Great job ATL in kicking off what I hope is a league-wide trend.

Spot on.  Without the Black and Blue tinted glasses, this is a fantastic idea.  Stadiums are competing against the home experience which has so many advantages it's ridiculous.  With 8 home games a year, making the game an event that's always sold out is #1 importance.  The more competition for those seats the more they can charge for the ticket itself.

From the perspective of an Atlanta resident, Panthers fan, and season ticket holder for Atlanta United FC at the new stadium:

They have been rolling things out related to sponsorship and the new stadium over the last couple of weeks. The kit sponsor for Atlanta United will likely come in the next week or so. Coca-Cola was announced as the "official food and beverage sponsor" or some crap like that - shocking, seeing as how this is Atlanta, I know. Nonetheless, this is definitely a Coca-Cola related program and they are basically subsidizing the stadium concessions. Two bucks for a bottomless soda and three bucks for a slice of pizza or a hot dog? You can take your kid to the game (Falcons or AUFC) and spend ten bucks on food and drink for the two of you. That's pretty impressive in today's world of concessions. There will be Coke Freestyle stations all over the place. There will be more Coca-Cola branding that stadium than Falcons, Atlanta United, or Mercedes-Benz. And everyone will still make a killing; the stadium is getting larger relative sponsorship deal, and it still costs less than fifteen cents to produce 16 ounces of soda without packaging.

All that aside, you're all right - Falcons fans will still be the most pathetic fair-weather lot. They'll just be a little tubbier and farther along in their quest for diabeetus. And as a supporter of Atlanta United, I guess I'll be right there with them. Bring on the five dollar bud lights.

Thats awesome. Heard the CEO/President of the falcons on the Herd today. Seemed to really actually care about the fans thoughts on how they want to experience a game. 

 

I feel like people would protest that in Charlotte. The rich couples would hate to see the average young fan drinking the same cup of wine as theirs. I mean lets be fuging real. fug the bullshit those prices are people first.

Eh, hard to give him much credit. On top of turning a "$200million" taxpayer investment into about $550-600mil in this process, Blank also gets all revenue from stadium events. With the Georgia Dome, the city took all revenues of non-NFL events. So, Blank basically has the same deal Jerry has, but, got half the thing paid for rather than self-financing.

Making concessions a reasonable price is filler by comparison...

And when people in Atlanta wonder why they are bottom 10% in public transit, they can point to the billions they threw at sports stadiums, to teams that had good homes and were no threat of leaving

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
