Can anyone tell me what to expect tonight? How hostile are the fans?

The tickets I have are a Falcons-season-ticket-holder who has given up on the team ( ) so I will probably be surrounded. Can anyone provide any insight? I'd just like to mentally prepare myself.

Section 128 if anyone cares/is sitting there.

I got season tickets, mainly just to flip. Made a killing last year, barely scraping by this year


I'll put it like this: the only game I went to this yr was the Seahawks just to see if Sea was that good IRL. My seats were in 305. By the end of 1st quarter I was right behind the Seattle sidelines

Maybe this game will be a little more amped, but do NOT expect anything close to Superdome environment.

Went to the game two years ago for the MNF game over there. Was surrounded by pretty much falcons fans also but their fans didn't bother us one bit. Not hostile at all really. Just the usual trash talk before the game and then we won too so running around celebrating was SOOOOO Sweet

But overall good experience, would love to do it again soon.

I doubt the few fair weather fans they do have will even both show up.

I think it's cute when the Falcons win a few games and they try to make their dome as loud as the Superdome and it just falls on deaf ears.

Falcons fans are funny

The people that normally cause problems are the ones who aren't true or good fans. Just the type who bail when the team is struggling. You should be good.

I've usually experienced obnoxious, self absorbed fans, that feel justified to give you impolite shite...as if they are the Steelers or something. I bought tickets one year in a season ticket holder section and there were multiple fans most of the game asking me how i got the seats and that i should leave.... However, this year, I don't think you will run into anything due to the rats leaving that sinking ship many games ago. I couldn't get any Falcon turd friends to go, and i was about to go by myself, but i found out i have to work the next day. Tickets are plentiful.

Considering the dumpster fire of this season, you should be fine.

You'll be fine. For all the shite talking that goes on here and the MSB, the gameday fans are fine. Might catch some razzing back and forth, but it's not like you're going to a Niners/Raiders game.

I'm driving in from an hour away with no tickets, should I just walk up to the ga dome and buy from a scalper?

I'd guess stabbings. But that's just a guess.

You sir, are wrong and dumb. Congrats, nailed both.

Saints fans and Falcons fans have a healthy rivalry and the shite talking and billy badass-ery usually is kept to message boards. Both fan bases are very classy to each other. There's always a few bad apples but you can say that about any sport, in any country/city.

I'll be there screaming who dat in peoples faces and spilling beer on little kids... Not really, but I'm pretty excited about going to my first away game. About the only thing I like about this city is I still get to see the saints once a year.

Nonchalant fans that go to the game to be seen and to be entertained. Saints fans go to the game to have an impact and to enjoy the party. Being one of the latter means you will almost pity the alternative. Have a good time though, never had a bad experience in the GA Dome.

I can't imagine much hostility considering they are one of the worst teams in the league this year. I think the fans gave up already and will be numb.

Fun time at the game, but they stoped selling booze at freaking halftime. WTF
