Are you Falcons fans ready to head back outdoors?
080730 ATLANTA: The replacement of the questionable mauve and teal exterior at the Georgia Dome with new red and black exterior definitively gave the Dome a Falcons flavor. Wednesday, July 30, 2008. POUYA DIANAT / pdianat@ajc.com
Birdland – It’s real simple today, folks.
Loading ...Here’s a snapshot of the stadium situation.
Here’s a look at the modified Georgia Dome after its 2008 refurbishments.
A lot of work has already been done on this project and they usually take almost a decade to complete, so expect more

twists and turns along the way.
Fortunately, this isn’t our first Stadium Rodeo (worked on the Lambeau Field refurbishment and the building of Miller Park and their retractable roof that never seemed to work in the early stages.)
Falcons president Rich McKay was a key figure in the Tampa stadium build up and they have that cool Pirate Ship in the end zone.
Just check in and let us know where you stand on an outdoor, downtown stadium that could possibly host World Cup games in 2018 or 2022.

Hey Y’all:
We need a retractable roof stadium. If it rains and/or snow we can pull the roof on. Heck, if it is too cold, we can pull the roof on. But when the weather is great, we can open up the sky. Putting a retractable roof on the Georgia Dome would be great. Therefore, I recommend the engineers to start figuring out how to make it happen. If they can’t , then Blank need to think about building a new stadium to his liking. I hope it is a retractable stadium. That is the only way Atlanta is going to get s Super Bowl here. The weathe is too unpredictable in Atlanta,especially in the winter season.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
This is a SECRET from a FALCON FAN. TELL EVERYBODY!!!!!!

I’ll be watching the weather. If it’s cold or raining, I won’t be there. Plus I will not be able to buy in advance. All home playoff game will be in 33 degree rain. Not for me.

A new stadium will never be built anywhere with lots of parking and easy access. You will be forced to use public transportation. Arthur Blank is not Joe Robbie.
