Minimal number of suites. No club seating for lower leavel. Antiquated design.

Speaking as a Saints fan, this would be a disaster. The Falcons and Saints are built to hate each other. Losing that geographical rivalry would suck horribly.

I know it won't happen, but just the thought is really unsettling.

meh it's perfectly nice. I'd tell blank to go frick himself if he wanted the taxpayers to pay for a new stadium that he could bank off.

I don't want the birds to leave, but I would laugh my arse off if it happened.

I mean really have the lulz for years. I don't want to see this though. It's a great rivalry.

Not a damn thing, but Arthur Blank thinks he can extort the taxpayers for a new stadium, so why not try? These MFers are brazen.

I hate the Failcons so much I root against the Hawks. Braves don't need help. I just hate them. Still DO NOT WANT.
It's much more fun to own a team 8 hours away instead of one 2000+- miles

Edit: Won't happen, not worried.

No, they won't. The league, particularly the owners, have nothing to gain by putting a team there.

When was the last time a game was blacked out in Jacksonville?

Hint: it was a few years BEFORE the new rule that lowered the percentage of tickets that had to be sold to avert a blackout.

but for the first time, legitimate steps are being made on the stadium. the jags are losing support and san diego wants a new stadium. those are the 2 most likely teams to make the move


provide a link that shows that the Jags are losing support.

The Falcons aren't going anywhere. LA will have a team again soon, just not sure which one will move there. If I had to guess, I would say jacksonville.

This is just a way for Blank to get his stadium built. Jimmy Sexton must be running the deal for Blank.
