Nono Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) As I was watching the Falcons pummel the Giants and quiet all the carpetbaggers in my section, I started wondering why we were going to walk away from the Ga. Dome? I know there is a finanacial rational but over the last 4 or 5 years I think we have lost 5 games at the Dome(?)The winning tradition and noise are reasons to keep the dome and put a new roof on it. You can't make that kind of echo crowd noise in an open stadium. It must freak out opposing teams cause it gets loud on third downs.I find it hard to believe the Ga World Congress Center wouldn't bow down to Arthur Blank and renegotiate the contracts on concessions and parking.BTW the food is over priced and sucks---why is it so god dam hard to serve decent food???

Kilgore Trout Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 The new stadium is retractable roof, not open air. Not that that matters, Seattle is open air and is the loudest stadium in the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdz4i Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 and what about the 16 years b4 that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E. T. Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I love the dome... really dont see a problem with it. But I also understand the business side of things. In the long run...this will make us a better team and Atlanta and the great state of GA better too!I hope they keep the same name! Georgia Dome just has a nice ring to it...

fansince78 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 It isn't really our choice. I think the majority of Falcon fans and certainly the vast majority of people in Atlanta would vote it down if it were to be left to us. The team will play in a new stadium though and it will either be the one in negotiations now or Mr. Blank will build an open air stadium on the suburbs on his own. Our choice will be to either continue to support the team or not support the team. I did not want the dome and was quite happy with the old AFCS, but I got used to the dome. Once the team moves, I am sure I'll get used to the new stadium too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Flare Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Stadiums don't win games, solid teams do. We made the Dome a bad place for road teams to play, and we'll do the same thing at Coca-Cola Stadium in 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawse Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Building this new stadium is beyond stupid. I will never support this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmite Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 A couple people in front of us were getting dripped on from the leaky roof. Good thing they were Giant fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
