SaintRay Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 So if the games are selling out, where are the people? I watch Falcon games with regularity on DirecTV and the stadium typically looks far from full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolafan33 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Team sponsors will more than likely end up buying the unsold tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at their attendance records before then. They are no different than most other fanbases,in that regard.Put a winner on the field,people will come to the games. Plain and simple.

bossFALCON™ Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 So if the games are selling out, where are the people?if there were no people then there would be no sellouts. a lot of the time our fans show up around the 2nd qtr and leave early to get a jump on traffic (i know because ive been to quite a few falcons games the last couple of years).the dome is usually far from empty.

sean weatherspoon Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Reading alot of threads throughout the summer I almost thought back to back winning seasons was better then a super bowl championship any saints fan that think that fans in atlanta are on a high about our team, is trippin. atlanta has 5million ppl in it and i'd say about 250,000 of those ppl even know the falcons exist. out of that 250,000 i'd say about 125,000 are die hard falcons fans. the other 4.8 million ppl in the atlanta area is more excited about vick starting for the eagles.

ThunderCookie Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Our piece ohshyt fans gave Vick more applause in an Eagles uniforms than they gave the team they supposedly root for. I may defend our team, but you will not see defending our fan base.Where are they someone asked? 15 minutes late for both kickoffs, leaving during the third quarter no matter what the score, sitting on their hands on 3rd and 1 unless we have the **** ball.... grrrrr.

Atlanta just isnt a sports town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRay Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 The Falcons have announced "Hot Dog Discounts" for the fans who order them before 12:30 on gamedays. This is an effort to get the fans in their seats before kickoff. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robnrnbrgr Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 not sure if anybody has posted this cuz i didn't read the entire thread, but in response to the guy that said the Saints are selling out b/c they're winning, thats just false...yes its true we have a season ticket waiting list almost 10 years long... yes its true that stubhub tickets average close to the highest in the league...but its also true that we've been selling out like that every year since Katrina, and we had 3 wins that year...

The Saints played every game out of town the year immediately after Katrina while still under Haslett. In 2006, upon returning to New Orleans, they've sold out every game.
