Dem Birds Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Dome is fine with me. I agree the seats are too small, I figured it was just my fatass. Maybe this guy is fat too lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu 7 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I don't think anyone will argue that a new stadium wouldn't be nice.The problem with a new stadium is it gives the team an excuse to use PSLs.... that's when you have to pay a huge fee just to be able to purchase season tickets.So take what your season tickets cost now and multiply it by 5 for a rough idea what the same seats might cost in a new stadium.

Porkins Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 That article is ANCIENT, 2 years is a lifetime, they got rid of the easter egg look a while back. And yet we've dropped in the list...Don't care either way myself as I rarely, if ever, even have an opportunity to actually GO to the games.

Mathis81WR Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Love the Dome. Falcons Landing is great too. Always come home with some nice free stuff from playing the games. The Defend The Dome shirt and red and white flags they gave out before the game against the panthers this year was sweet. I usually only make it to one game a year in ATL but every time I have a blast, even the losses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal Line D Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I really like the Dome. Nice and cozy inside and impeccably clean. Now that we have 2 new HD screens, black and red paint scheme and flat screens in the bathrooms what else could we need! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insight Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) This article is outdated. Color Scheme and seats have been addressed. One of my biggest complaints was the Jumbotron and that was addressed this year. More importantly it's about the people inside vs amenities. Many venues have out of control drunks, numerous fights and drama. The Dome is pretty family friendly which is more important than getting a good cheese steak or seating in lazyboy chair.

Dharma Initiative Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 there is just no way our game day experience isn't better than the Raiders, Rams, Browns, Lions, Texans, Jaguars, Bengals, Chiefs or Bills simply because we are a competitive team that is winning right now. Those temas have been losers for a while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
