Many Atlanta Falcons fans are petitioning to watch Super Bowl 51 from inside the Georgia Dome. It’s an idea even Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed supported via Twitter on Tuesday.
It would make a lot of sense for the Georgia Dome to throw a big Super Bowl party for fans; however, facility officials say it can’t happen. In a statement obtained by AJC.com, Georgia Dome officials said:
“NFL rules prohibit us from using the Georgia Dome for broadcasting the game. Fans wishing to gather with other fans to watch the game can consider patronizing neighborhood businesses who will be showing the game.
