shed its lackluster sports city image, or is the city always going to have a bad reputation for being a poor sports town?

We will always struggle, because so many people move here from out of state. Most of Atlanta comes from somewhere else. It is also not easy for the people OTP to commute in for games so that takes out a large portion of the people who have lived here their whole lives. Atlanta has to have a winner to put people in the seats. Luckily the hawks and falcons have done well in the last decade, and with the new stadium, the braves will have people there all season until we put a solid product on the field next year.
eta: but yes, obviously a super bowl win would help. it would get that stigma gone of Atlanta always chokes when it matters a little bit

20% of the people in the Georgia Dome this past weekend enjoyed their 1st Falcons game

The Falcons need a Super Bowl, but they're not lacking fan support.
BTW,how many Braves fans are in Louisiana? Their support reaches across the South.

Well that is due to turner networking influence from back in the 90's. In Louisiana, you had the choice between the Yankees, Cubs, and Braves.

With a SB win, the Falcons organization will begin calling on the city of Atlanta and its taxpayers to build them an even newer stadium.

I think it does.
The Saint in me would normally hate to see this, but not this time.
I just don't like seeing teams that have won multiple World titles get another off the back of a team that never has.
Peyton Manning might be a legend, but not at the expense of the New Orleans Saints. I know what it's like for your team to be up against something like that. I do sympathize with fans that have never had the feeling.
I want the Atlanta Falcons to stand against Tom Brady and all his record-breaking Super Bowl Glory and beat them.

It will cause gnashing of team in NOLA.

Talking about it this early scares me
But yes I think that a SB would get excitement raised about having a winner. What needs to happen is to have some of those who moved in from out of state to start supporting our teams. Winning seems to do that (see Seattle).
Next year tickets to Falcons games will be hard to get with higher expectations and also a brand new stadium.

The problem for Atlanta is the out of staters are coming from areas that already have teams.

Yeah I think its going to take a generation of kids growing up who were born here to adopt the Falcons. Even if people would adopt teams as a secondary team it would help out.
There is a lot to be excited about in Atlanta right now with a new Braves stadium with an awesome entertainment center outside the park, new falcons stadium, good falcons team, new soccer team etc.
Now if the Falcons could win a SB, it could lay groundwork for a big uptick in support.

Atlanta will probably always be a mediocre attendance sports city, but a Falcons win should certainly dispel the stupidity of people acting like it is pre-LJ Cleveland. There have been regular points of success in Atlanta sports for my entire life, it's far from a truly depressing sports town.
The Braves are a solid "brand" and the Falcons have largely shed their previous stigmas to become a more liked team these days. Atlanta United looks like it'll be a potential force in MLS. I like the Hawks but I don't watch enough NBA to know how we'd be viewed.
But I don't think Atlanta is going to surge and start packing out every stadium for years to come, particularly in an era where that is getting harder across the country.

I think an iconic player like Julio Jones could help with that. With that being said, ATL needs to win a title in one of its three big sports to grab some attention.
Personally, I kind of like the fact that Atlanta is viewed as a place with people from out of state that have their own fav. teams.
