Falcons Game

I went to my first NFL game on Monday night. I went to the Falcons-Giants game on Monday Night Football. Pretty dang cool. The Georgia Dome is huge. There were lots of things different about an NFL game--I was surprised how few players the teams had on their sidelines. The head coaches seem to be on their own little islands--not a whole lot of interaction with other coaches and players on the sidelines. Saw Stuart Scott, Emmitt Smith, and Steve Young--even though it was through binoculars.

The TV timeouts take FOREVER there at the game--and the teams, of course, just have to stand out on the field waiting for the commericals to be over. The Falcons are horrible--I mean, horrible. They cannot block. I hope to have some more pictures to post from the game soon. One of the best things about the Falcons game is Atlanta has a great subway/rail system. So, we were able to park out by the loop around town and ride it in to the game (downtown). We had dinner in the CNN Center--where all the CNN stuff goes down, they have a huge food court on the first floor. Pretty cool. We had great seats--they were behind the end-zone, so you could see everything develop.
