The 2017 ATL Takeover


RoaringRiot

Recommended Posts

It's that time of the year again - where we head down to our least favorite city of ATL and dominate their stadium. We've got over 500 Panthers fans traveling down to ATL for this one, so we'll make sure to break that place in properly. Wanted to share the event schedule with y'all since even though we've been doing this for nine years down there some of you still don't know where to start. 

Saturday - 5p - Welcoming Party at Fado in Midtown. The ATL Riot crew is excited to welcome everyone to their city. All Panthers fans are welcome to join us at Fado (Midtown location). We'll be there until 730p/8p or so before heading off to some other Midtown locations. A flexed game means some people are probably going to get a little loose that night. Thank god @*FreeFua* isn't coming or else he would be a total mess. 

Sunday - 1p - Tailgate Party in the Marshalling Yard. Again, all Panthers fans are welcome. We only provide food and drinks for those who have purchased packages from us, so if you're going to come hang out make sure to BYOB.  This tailgate is always massive and will be no different this year as this is the largest ticket block we've ever secured. I'm expecting 1K+ Panthers fans there. Maybe @Jeremy Igo will come out and DJ again. I miss hearing that much Taylor Swift at a tailgate party. Or maybe that was @Zod. Whatever...

330p - March to the stadium. Rolling 500+ Panthers fans deep to the stadium does not suck.

If you're driving then try and park in the Yellow Lot. The Marshalling Yard does allow some cars in there (it's mostly the bus/RV lot), but I'm not sure of the pricing because we've always only paid the bus price.

The ATL Riot is certainly excited to have you all here. Just hoping that a certain few of us behave for the duration of the weekend. @RoaringRiot knows who I'm talking about.

How hard is it to get tickets for this game?  I thought about going but the ones on stubhub or just to high

I heard on ATL sports radio yesterday morning that the Falcons are selling standing room only tix for $59. Might be sold out by now though.

    • I've watched literally every single snap of T-Mac's career, there isn't a person on these boards who knows his game better than I do.  And I'm telling you, he is a great fit for what Bryce does well, period. You keep talking about these "get open quick WRs" as what Bryce needs, but I couldn't disagree more, because it blatantly disregards what Bryce does best. AND NO.... that's not me saying we don't need any "get open quick" type of WRs, I've long said we still needed one of those in addition to a true outside #1, but it's not the only type of WR that can be a successful pairing with Bryce. Bryce's biggest strength is his mental side of the game, he reads defenses and plays chess instead of checkers.  That type of QB doesn't need to rely on his WR's to quickly create acres of separation because their mental side of the game will mean they are going to put the ball on the WR when they create even minimal separation, as he's going to anticipate it and throw the ball before the WR has even made his cut on the route. AND THAT is where and why Bryce and T-Mac are a great pairing.  When you have a guy with T-Mac's hands and catch radius, he doesn't need 5 yards of separation to get open and have Bryce then get the ball to him.   Bryce is going to be throwing the ball before he even makes his cut, so even if all T-Mac is able to do is create 1 yard of separation, the ball is getting to him when he creates that and because of his hands and size, he's plucking that ball out of the air before the defender even has a chance to close that 1 yard, because the ball is there as soon as T-Mac creates the room and turns his head.
    • I read an article a few days ago that places like Seattle green bay and a few others are revoking tickets rights to holders that sell 100% of their tickets. That would do a lot of good league wide for bringing back some home field advantages. We aren't the only team who's stadiums get over run by visitors. It happens basically everywhere. That would go a long way to bringing ticket costs down 
    • yeah, you can basically copy and paste my thoughts from this time last year.   We are building an O more suited for Jake Delhomme than Bryce Young.  Tmac and XL sound great for the downfield gunslinger  Give them opportunities to make plays.  From what I have seen, and the scouting stuff I have read.....TMac does not project as a get open quick WR.  He is going to have to work on getting off the line at this level, getting open, etc.  Which is all good.  This you go to think people will be studs out the gate or you are hater logic just ain't what I do.   Take my XL stance last year.  I lobbied hard for him.  When we drafted him I immediately told folks to pump their breaks on the wild expectations.    If XL legitimately turned into what I think he can be.....his best setup in the league would not be paired w/ a QB like Young.  if Bryce was going to be the dude, I would have lobbied for Ladd vs XL.  I was an XL guy.   And again, I would have gone Warren/Jeanty this draft.   I would have invested in small ball talent for him to be the PG for.
