That's one of the bad things about Atlanta, which I blame the Braves for it. People have gotten their hopes so high, starting in 91 everybody thought we would win the world series. And once we did in 95, that we would do it every year. I remember when Chris Dimino on 790 the zone like a couple years ago, was ragging Atlanta fans, saying they were the worst, because the Braves had a day game for the playoffs in the middle of the week, and there were like 3-4 thousand seats empty, now this was for the playoffs. He said there were other teams like the Pirates would kill to have the playoffs and not one seat would be empty, but Atlanta had seen it so many times. Figured, Atlanta was going to choke every time.


WHY I want the Falcons to break that thinking and bring a ring home, and make the city of Atlanta, have the real fans that come for the game and the love of the team, rather, after one player. We want the Super bowl. But for me, get ne playoff game would be good we'll decide then, I just want that monkey off our back period. :

I hate when the Braves get ragged on for attendance. Turner Field holds over 50,000. There's only 3 or 4 baseball stadiums that hold more. All the new parks are 45,000 max if that many. So we can have 30,000 at a Braves game and the stadium still looks half empty because of how big it is. It had to be built that big because of the Olympics. They couldn't build it smaller and force the attendance up.

I remember a few years ago they had Falcon stores in the malls. Then one day they all were gone. I can understand not having stores dedicated to the team, but when those stores left, there wasn't a replacement anywhere. They should have contracted with stores like Dicks or something to have a dedicated Falcons section.
