What was your best experience attending a Falcons game live and on the road?

I've never seen a Falcons game in the Ga. Dome, but several times on the road.

Reside in AZ and have seen them 2x as well as San Diego(08) and last season at Sea.

San Diego(08) is my favorite, great weather, HD played well, and surprised to see the number of fans that was there.

Rididng the train back to my car after that win was sweet, Charger fans mocking me about Vick and boo-hooing

about losing Turner.  All I could do was smile.

Sea. was awesome as well(12th man is for real there) but still have the gawd awfull smell of garlic fries in my nostrils.

What was your best away experience?

Sitting on the very top row of Ralph Wilson Stadium on a cold/windy November day.  If I stood behind our seats, I could look down into the parking lot.  Still a great time.

+1 Fandom comes at a price.

Guarantee that I will be at the Chargers game this year, but that opening game against the Chiefs at ArrowHead is tantilizing.

That (08) p/o game against AZ was deafening, but still an experience I can't deny.  Never more dejected but glad I was there.

I might go to Detroit.  Used to write off Lions games cause they were so bad, but that's no longer the case.  It's also a Saturday night game, so tickets might be easier to get.

There are a lot of intriguing away games this year.  I wager you live nearer to Detroit like I do San Diego.  I haven't been to Det since I was a kid, but I

highly recommend San Diego.  You can go to the mall and catch a train to the stadium(Sea as well), well planned out.

Funniest thing is the Raider fans that show up in full-force to Charger games not against the Raiders...hardcore or plum nutz.

Mine has to be Indy last year b/c it was my Son's first live game and he has picked julio as his favorite player. So it was really cool for me to see my Son's reaction to jj's first and second TD's.

Detroit's about 3 hours for me, Buffalo 75 minutes.  I'd like to see the Falcons play in Dallas.

Being at Jones' break-out game was truely special.  The only thing I hated about Indy fans was every time they would get a 1st down my entire section would scream in my ears 'FIRST DOWN'

I was at the Dome last year for the Jags game. Sat in section 111 I believe. Anyway, dude in the first row is an older guy and every time there was a first down he would stand up, turn around and go "WHAT DOWN IS IT!?" and everyone in the section would yell "FIRST DOWN!!!!". Likewise with touchdowns it'd be, "WHAT DOWN IS IT!?" "TOUCHDOWN!!!" That reminded me of that lol.

The best game for me was @ Tampa Bay in 2010. It was a hard fought game, we had a lot of trash talk with the Bucs fans in our area, and the BG interception at the end of the game sealed it...It was great!  Did I mention we talked hella trash the whole time.  Everyone around us was very good sports about it all...just good football fun...and WE WON!!

Yeah but thanks to Painter we only had to hear it a couple times.

@NO, @DET and @CHI in the early 90s with the Too Legit squad.

New Orleans in 2010, San Fran in 2009 were the most fun I can remember.

[kiwifalcon]

Sorry guy's if I'm to travel half way round the planet the only game I'll attend will be another SB appearence from the Falcons and it will fill a life long ambition.

1. To watch a Falcons game live..

2. To go to the Superbowl..

Its bucket list material I have the funds to do it just need a few things to fall in line and I'm there with bells on.

In NOLA for my birthday. It was the 26th , birthdays the 30th of September. Fiance and I were there to celebrate. She and I were seperated from the friends we came with.  We were of course in head to toe Falcon gear. We started our way out of the Stuperdome and were being heckled big time. I had to speak up. Long story short we almost got jumped by a very large group of Taint fans. Luckily right before it got crazy my friends (Taint fans) found us and intervened. My girl is 5'4 102 lbs and was the major instigator. Great time, love that woman.

I might have to make the trip down from Vegas for that one. I figure a not so good ticket will probably be $100 and another $250 for hotel, grub, and of course booze.

I went to a game in TB a few years back. Nice city and nice people for the most part
