If you know anything about sports in Atlanta, then you know just how bad the fan base is down there for every single major sports franchise they have. The Atlanta Hawks, Braves, Thrashers, Falcons, and even the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets all have (or had) a hard time selling out on a consistent basis. Their fan base just plain sucks, no other way to put it.
For the first time since 1999, the Atlanta Falcons have advanced to the Super Bowl, but it doesn’t seem like many fans made the trip with them down to Houston for support.
