RYNE Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 In Atlanta today for my first time ever coming from Iowa. Took the tour today at 4. Few things I noticed. The good #1 stadium is beautiful. What a nice looking place for the falcons to call home. The bad If I was Arthur Blank I would be pissed. Place was a dirty in some areas. Not horrible, but definitely not what I expected for such a brand new building. Lots of workers just hanging out talking, when there was plenty for them to be doing. The mens bathroom is the worst smelling bathroom I have ever been in. Reeks of urine. There is no way they are cleaning that like they should be. I mean it was over whelming like I’ve never experienced. No idea how that’s possible for a new building. Lastly why the **** do they not sell drinks and food during the day? I just can’t believe there was not one single place to buy a drink. I heard a lot of people complaining. Also I can can tell you this, there are a ton of cowboys fans. It’s going to be packed with them tomorrow. Hopefully everything starts clicking for the Falcons and we can get the win. Cowboys have a lot of key players out, unfortunately Atlanta has a history of not taking advantage of these things. Just thought I’d share my experience today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one thing to vent your frustrations on here, but y'all don't go pissing all over the bathrooms because you're upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADAMSVILLE GYM Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I'm curious. Did the whole stadium smell like the toilet OR did only the toilet smell like a toilet? No shade, just trying to understand the gripe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akemp3000 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Native Atlanta here. Falcon fan since the beginning and owner of PSLs. Little concern about bathrooms smelling like bathrooms. Big concern about Falcon's season, ongoing protests, NFL decisions and the game today. I've been out but have decided to return today to see what the Falcons, the stadium and Arthur Blank give me for my investment. I really want the Falcons to win big today and return some enthusiasm. Am concerned apathy could be a big problem moving forward if we don't win and the NFL doesn't get a backbone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this to save thousands of gallons a year. A little rinse each day wouldn’t hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it was un freaking real. Look for all you “bathrooms smell like bathrooms” people this isn’t that. I know what bathrooms in stadiums smell like generally until this one. It was times 100. Thanks for the info dmite. Is there a reason to do this? Just to save money I’m guessing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trash on the ground inside the stadium. Idk if people that were on the early tours were just that careless and lazy or what. Maybe they wait clean it all at the end of every night or something? Just wasn’t as well kept as I would have expected that’s all. When I toured Jerry world two years ago there wasn’t a thing out of place.

Not sure if it’s money, but they were probably offered a deal by someone to put those in (government or the company itself). Environment issues are the biggest reason they put those in: to save water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octoslash Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 The bathrooms overwhelmingly stink of urine? Well, at least we're still competing with New Orleans in ONE area. - But seriously folks...if the bathrooms at the busiest airport in the world (Atlanta) can be kept mostly odor-free and usually quite clean, why the **** can't they be kept that way in one stadium? That's ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falconsfan11 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 The field and lighting are terrible on tv from home. GA Dome looked a lot better. It's way to dark and the field is dark and ugly they should change that. Kinda like what the Texans turf looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notthatcool Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 They had some kind of blue fluid in them today. Smelled much better in the few trips I took. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
