    Packed that dome. Not many cities could pack a place like that with a 2-10 team, even with Vick back.

    I don't know if they're quite New England fans

    Vick fans

    Packed the stadium last night. The game was the place to be in Atlanta last night.

    uhhh....

    the lower bowl of the G-D was full, but from my seat (row 2, seat 68 of press row), there were LARGE gaps of empty seats to be seen in the upper rings.....they announced a SOLD attendance of 70,079..tickets sold, not fannies in the seats. Another note--6:44 to play, 4th qtr, 14-14 game and those upper rings have cleared out THOUSANDS OF FANS!!! Atlanta is the weakest sports town in America.

    One Panther fan in the uppers said Falcon fans were throwing pennies (to hurt) at them throughout the game. They got some Falcon fans thrown out too for stealing their banner. Course there are good & bad fans everywhere. I had heard that at the end of regulation the stadium emptied pretty fast. Welcome back Michael, but it's late and we gotta go. Great fans.

    The Falcons fans in 339 were pretty nice, even though I hollered the whole time for the Panthers. There was one drunk guy that I bantered back and forth with, but it was all in good sport.

    There were a whole lot more Falcons fans there than there were at the Falcons-Tennessee game. Tennessee fans were louder than Falcons fans at that game, most of the time.

    Re: uhhh....

    We were in section 306 for that Vick-fest.We could see a whole lot of empty seats around the bowl....
    Could the National broadcast team from ESPN be any more bias....doubt it in my opinion!
