Playoffs?! Playoffs?!?!

Currently falcons are 4-7 with the Ravens, Packers, Cardinals, Panthers and Buccaneers left on the schedule. There are at minimum 2 loses there, if not more. So 6-10 is the most likely record and won’t get you a sniff at the playoffs.

As for this New Orleans v atlanta debate, New Orleans has been the backdrop of a Bond movie, Atlanta has not. Just throwing that out there from an international perspective.

Y’all are delusional lmao

Do y’all know how many international students are at Tech & Emory?

Busiest airport in the world

Home of coke

It’s the unofficial capital of the south

Largest aquarium in the world

Most advanced sporting venue in the world

Home to multiple international businesses

I could go on but you get the idea.

Who in the hell outside of the US wants to visit Burbon Street? If it wasn’t for Mardi Gras then New Orleans may as well be a Alabama or Mississippi city. Y’all have a lot of conventions though I guess

funny, but bourbon street is more famous than any street in atlanta. EVERYONE knows bourbon street and the french quarter. that's a huge part of what makes new orleans more well known than atlanta.

your arguments are essentially why dallas is more well known than new orleans, but no one would make that argument so why are you doing it with atlanta?

How many people from overseas have you talked to know about Bourbon Street while knowing nothing about Atlanta?

Maybe I’m biased having lived here for over a decade, but I met more people who weren’t born in the US my first year living in the ATL metro area than I ever met living anywhere in LA.

Far more people outside of the US know about Atlanta than New Orleans and I really don’t think it’s close. This article is a little old, but I think it verifies that. Atlanta is #14, NOLA isn’t on the list.

Here’s a list with New Orleans #1 and Atlanta nowhere to be found.

Your list has Dallas/Plano/Irving on it. I question it.

Your list doesn’t specify whether it is international only, and I think the fact that New York is also no where on it makes it a little more suspect IMO.

EDIT: My bad, I see it at #5. But the list does seem to be more about US travel preferences.

I’m talking about the travelers, not the destinations. The original comment was that New Orleans is more we’ll-known world wide. Your list appears to be focused more on the travel preferences of specifically Americans.

Let me ask you something, where is America located? Saying world wide includes America just the same as France.

It made no distinction, but it seems you want a list that doesn’t include American travelers which is silly.

You’re trying your hardest to discredit the list solely because New Orleans was Number 1 and Atlanta was nowhere on it.

Dude. If your list is made up of the opinions of primarily Americans, which it appears to be, then it can’t be representative of the entire world.

No, I’m discrediting the list because the data is skewed. Americans are a small fraction of the world population and the list looks to be driven primarily by the opinion of Americans.
