Sad but true. I hate that fans in this city can't fill our stadium. Pisses me off even more now we got about 50 stores and restaurants in the **** building for the fans that actually do show up to be at instead.

GA dome>Benz 

F anyone trying to blame the fans for this crap, the Falcons have a 53 year history of total crap and total disappointment. This franchise doesn't deserve the fans they do have.

You don't get a loyal fanbase for simply existing. This team has done NOTHING to garner a large loyal fan base. Also with the crappy PSL situation and how horrible this team is and how they ALWAYS rip the fans heart out when they are in the spot light they can go ride off to St Louis for all I care.

This entire franchise sucks and the fans are correct to avoid it.

The serious design flaw in that building is having so many vantage points away from the seating area. Sure, build all the food courts and bars in the world, but design the place to where if you want to see the game, you have to go and sit in your seat.

Doesn't seem that complicated to me, and I'm hardly an architect.  

United has no problem filling the stadium and being loud. The issue is the product on the field not the Stadium.

Seeing Quinn get fired mid-season then having an interim coach rally the troops just in time to destroy our draft position would be the most Falcon thing ever.

Fear Not The Trades of Matt Ryan and a few others will net us more picks and maybe another 1st rounder which will be used on the New QB by the New Head Coach/GM!

Does it really surprise anyone that the demographics of Atlanta support Soccer more then football?

Got nothing to do with demographics, the Falcons have a 53 year history of losing and disappointment, Untied came in and started a winning tradition almost immediately. Even if United goes through a rough patch they have a title for fans to look back on fondly.

Falcons fans only have 1998 and 28-3 to look back on.

I prefer the Dome over the Benz too. They should have installed a mini halo board in the Dome and remodeled the outside to look like the Benz.

Even when I'm watching on tv, it seems like the camera is a mile away from the action.

You can go to the Atlanta United Playoff match on Oct.19 for $20. You could go to every MLS home game for the price of 1 Falcons game.

Atlanta United Playoff Tickets!

Fire the HD and GM,cut DF,dont resign VB,(except for vet minimum)play rookies and special teamers.This season is a loss,play for a high draft pick,get BIG on the D and O line,hire a OC as head coach,not a re tread,unless its Kubiack.Thats what I think.

The stadium does influence the empty seating. There are too many distractions going on like videoing the stupid contests during the game to win crap, tv's everywhere for fans to stand and watch, etc. In the old Dome they dropped mini parachutes with prizes during the game that encouraged fans to stay seated. Plus the fans know there is nothing to get excited about this season on the field.

United plays in the same stadium and does not have this issue

[DriveHomeSafelyAtlantaWins 1,998]

I don’t care how much uglier this season gets ... it’s completely in the crapper already.

 What I care about is getting the right head coach. A true offensive guru.

the timing of dq’s firing should be calibrated around whatever helps us do that the most.

If the Falcons lose to Az, it will happen.

If we get blown out on D by AZ I can see it.  If it's close game and the team shows some sense of emotion, he stays.

There is a different trophy handed out every other week in soccer.

This is a valid argument. Can’t beat those prices compared to the Falcons tickets.

[BirdGangATL 765]

I love it, that just means cheaper tickets to the game for me!

Yet you are still here lol.

Fans have a choice like anyone else.

Don’t watch don’t buy merchandise don’t touch psls.

Boycott the Falcons get on your soapbox with your bull horn yell louder it’s your choice.

Yet you’ll be back next week crying another river lol.

Seats are empty anyway. Always have been, unless United is playing LOL.

From what I've seen very true. I dont live in the ATL but from what I seen over the years even when the team is winning stadium is never full of fans. ATL is just not a pro football city they dont really get into like college or even soccer

You're wrong. Micheal Vick packed the GA Dome.

Atlanta is fickle.

You got to put a product on the field worth watching 

Tell that to other fan bases whose teams have sucked for years and still manage to be in attendance and passionate on Sundays. Even when we were playing well it would take our fans til halfway thru the 2nd  quarter to find their seats.

But I get it. I'm as pissed at the lack of play on the field as anyone.

Sucks that I absolutely have to agree with this... 30 years of absolute misery and disappointment is all this team has ever given me.

No, Atlanta is just sick of a franchise that has been a loser for 53 years. The only noteworthy things this franchise has ever done involves failing in epic ways.

Eventually fans get tired of that.
