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.
I disagree about their fan support. I live here and honestly before the last 3 weeks I've barely heard or seen anything.
Honest question, have you ever been to NOLA? I say that because it is impossible to go there and see the amount of signs, bumper stickers, flags, everything, and come away thinking Atlanta has fan support. It is still a rarity to see any of that sort of stuff in Atlanta.

I just always find this so amusing.
I'll concede that Falcons support can seem diluted, or less enthusiastic. Part of that is obviously that hundreds of thousands of people from other places pass through Atlanta on a daily basis on their way to somewhere else. And that there are a couple million people here that support an NFL team other than the Falcons, like you.
But on more measurable levels, since you live here, you'd know that Falcons games still somehow pack out bars and the attendance numbers just aren't THAT much better for the Saints. I think the idea people try to sell is that New Orleans is some banner sports town that Atlanta just can't compare to. And that is laughable. It's a city of a totally different size that feels somewhat more centered around their local NFL team.
