penn state Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I never did get the attendance numbers, but that was a great crowd for pre-season.My only concern for our performance is the lack of a pass rush. If we can't get a push from the D-line, that means we have to send people, putting more pressure on our D-backs. A good QB will eat that up.

Rev_Hal Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I was surprised. Our section was pretty packed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jatchisv2 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I didn't realize that there were that many Colts fans in Atlanta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogipinoy27 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I was surprised. Our section was pretty packed.mine too. When I looked around it looks like everyone went with the value seats instead of buying lower level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugger8 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I didn't realize that there were that many Colts fans in Atlanta! I really didn't see that many. I actually made a comment about that to my friend I was with. I was really surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelgee Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 It looked like a typical "late arriving" Atlanta crowd. At Game time it seemed less than half full. By midway the first qtr it was about half full.My Colt fan observation was that there are indeed a lot of Colt fans or either a lot who didn't want to wear their 7 jersey and came disguised as Colt fans. Lots of "casual fans" buy Colt's garb to "appear elite or some weird thing like that. Probably lots of them use Apple computers and like the snob scene. LOL!I was above the tunnel and got a great picture of the entrance, Matt Ryan's first entrance in the GA Dome. Then I put my camera away.

cwoodall23 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 There were quite a few Colts fan in attendance, surprised me as well. usually the opposing team has a section or 2, but it was like an old high school game....our team on this side, your team on that side.

phattywankenobi Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Typical preseason game. People showed up whenever. I honestly didn't know there were Colts fans in the stadium until the pick 6 and they seem to be mostly in the nose bleeds. I was pleasantly surprised because most of the people sitting around me were families and not a bunch of idiots who don't know the difference between how they act at home and how they should act in public.

prolikewhoa Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 They are probably bandwagon Colt fans. Cause you know, we have so many transplant from Indianapolis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was a decent crowd for pre-season. Offense was ok. You are right because Defense wins games, they have to stop the run. At one point the Colts' Offense looked like somebody's Defense, along with that gigantic quarterback that played towards the end. I'll wait until we get into the regular season, I have my hopes up but I'm just not impressed right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~SEAMILL~ Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I was there and it was a good turnout. Most people were waiting in line for food and drink and the staff was terrible and sow...anyway I saw it was 49,600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
