We see photos of Mercedes Benz Stadium with loads of empty seats at the start of nearly home game. Falcons fans have never been ones to get to the stadium early. Having been a season ticket holder, I can confirm it could easily take two hours to navigate through traffic, walk to the stadium, and get through security. I can’t blame the fans for being a little late on Sundays.
The biggest change in the new stadium is the lack of crowd noise. We have seen the crowd get loud in big games. However, Sunday’s game against the Titans was quiet.
