A few more pictures....
 

This will be the last one.... These are the "after drinking for a while pictures".... Did you guys know, you can't buy beer at a store, in ATL, AT ALL ON SUNDAY??? In the dome you can buy it, or at a bar, but not at the store! INSANE!

Great pics ! and yeah it IS insane !

BTW what did you think of the suite ? My Co has one, I get to use it maybe once a year, usually during pre-season lol.. Our Sales folks guard those tickets with their lives..

One of the Falc fans told me that the law will change in 2012 though, and you will be able to buy after noon on Sunday I think? That's how it is here in Birmingham....

It will.. it was voted on in most of the state just about a week ago I think

Sweet! Next year, I will be able to buy some before the game!

Yeah, I knew that. Only because I was in Atlanta one year for NYE, went to see Phish @ Lakewood Amphitheater. I distinctly remember getting into town (NYE was on a Sunday), and stopping at a gas station to pick up some beer before the concert. I was baffled, and pissed!!

I also remember as we arrived at the venue, the theater sign still read "Van Halen Tonight" (apparently they didn't change the sign from the last show). I guess the boys from Phish saw it too, because the encore was "Running With The Devil"!!!!

Good times!!

You cant buy beer on Sunday.... (those are called blue laws, I think, but I dont know why.)
In a related story Mardi Gras is only a holiday in Louisiana. Everybody else still has to go to work/school.
Texas used to have all kinds of blue laws.

Good pics, Paul. Gives good perspective of the GA Dome. Im guessing it looks smaller and rounder in person, than it looks on tv, and probably much less imposing that our Dome.

No actually Mobile, Alabama celebrates Mardi Gras as well and takes the day off. I know our company does, we just don't get it off here in Houston.

We were in Atlanta a couple summers ago, I thought it looked like a huge circus tent .... kinda fits the team and the coach they have now

Same rules apply in the great state of Connecticut. You Have to drive to the New York line or Mass, I can spell Massachusetts. If you for get to stock up on saturday.

More then a few times. LOL

I am amzed at the concepts of "dry counties" places you cannot buy alcohol AT ALL. No matter the day or time.

I have come across those in Georgia & Tenessee (Lynchburg Tenesse where they MAKE Jack Daniels - is a dry county. They can make it & GIVE you samples BUT they cannot sell it!!)

Not sure if it's still this way, but I remember back in my college days, Starkville Miss sold beer in gas stations...but only hot beer!!!???

Now that is some crazy SH!%!!

The people voted YES for Sunday sales last Tuesday. So beginning with College Park, GA sales will begin this Sunday.

Georgia Dome is a great place to watch football. The tiers of seating are steeper than most venues, so EVERYONE is closer to the field.

Our Dome was built back when gas was 25 cents per gallon and no thought put into efficiency or use of space.

Can't get enough game picture threads. I treasure mine, probably because it's such a hassle to travel from AK to a game anywhere.

Great share, St.Paul!

Alaska

I'll have to remember that, Alaska. We geaux all the time, driving from Texas, and my wife has a camera... once she put it up to a set of binoculars, and it actually worked. I love my Terrace seats.

Hope you didn't think I was knocking your seats, skymike. Not my intent.

It's just that 1st row Mezzanine or Terrace differs from venue to venue with respect to how close you are to the action. I'm sure you've experienced that.

When I lived in "lower America" (heehee) I used to like just being at a game because I used to go more often. Now that I'm half a world away I like to sit between the 35's and low. I now like to sit right behind the bench so we can be as close to the players as possible. That way, if I feel Shanle, for instance, is jacked up, I'll tell him myself.

Funny story: I was in the Georgia dome during the early '90's. Down from Camp Lejeune for a Saints game. I sat at the 45 right behind the Saints. It was the usual ball-busting game, no holds barred fight. We were down by a couple but still in the game and the defense was TIRED. They were all occupying bench seats with their heads in their hands like they were WOOPED. They must've been.

Well, I commenced to giving them a Marine Corps style ass-chewing, leaning over the rail. The entire defense stood and looked around like, "Is he f'ing serious!?" The basic point I was getting across was this damn game is not over and you are going to win it!

They did.

No. I don't do that at every game. But I should...

Alaska

wow, thats a great story. ive never heard of anyone getting to do that. the closest i can come to real interaction, is the time Tom Benson nearly ran me over in a golf cart.
