Drakonius26 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 By the way, I'm sure someone on these forums would know... but has any sub-.500 team made it to the championship game/round in the Big 5, (NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL, and CFL) before?Wait, what?Yeah, this guy is wayyyy off. It's the Big 4 ... NFL, MLB, NBA, College Football. To you perhaps, but when it comes to sports those are the leagues I follow, with baseball a distant fifth to the other four. I included the CFL, because I wondered if there was a sub-.500 team that was a Grey Cup Champion.Thanks though, Billy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSky Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Saturday Schedule:GB vs.ATL at 4:30 EST, BAL vs.PIT at 8:00 EST.Nope, it's the opposite, Ravens-Steelers is the early game and Packers-Pigeons is the prime-timer.Edit: Sports radio is talking here in Atlanta about their fear the Falcons might be playing "on the road" Saturday because so many reasonably priced tickets are available. Just confirmed it, there are tickets for $85 to $100 on StubHub and the Georgia Dome is in fact where: 1) I saw the Falcons booed during intros in their own stadium in 2001 because so many more Saints fans were in the building and 2) Alge Crumpler once called a home victory over Pittsburgh "our best road win in awhile" because so many Steelers fans were there.Here's to seeing many, many cheeseheads on Saturday!

I do have a pair of questions regarding the Georgia Dome. First, they never show the upper bowl of the Georgia Dome during their games, so is that just because the Falcons can't sell out their games, or is that where their rivals usually sit? Secondly, I now hear rumors that the Falcons are looking for a new stadium... is the dome that much of a dump and/or outdated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, I now hear rumors that the Falcons are looking for a new stadium... is the dome that much of a dump and/or outdated?I saw the upper deck several times on the Saints-Falcons MNF broadcast a few weeks ago (I was at the game but DVR'd it) so I'm not sure where that're coming from. They do usually sell out (though not entirely with Falcons fans) and I have to give owner Arthur Blank a lot of credit. As I said in my previous post, it was surreal in 2001 to see the Falcons come to the line on third down in their own stadium and hear chants of "De-fense! De-fense!" That was under the old ownership and when Blank took over, he asked the players what he could do immediately to help them win and the most popular response was "fill the dome with Falcons fans." So the first year or two they offered season tickets for a hundred bucks! And the dome was full of Falcons fans, though they did increase the prices over time. Sadly though, Atlanta sports fans are fickle and fly the coop in a hurry when things don't go well, and sometimes even when they do. Do other cities have trouble selling out baseball playoffs? Atlanta has. And the fans are famously late, too. As recent as the Saints MNF game, sports radio here was urging fans to arrive by the start of the game so as to maximize the home field advantage. If you can ever call it that...I shot this after the Saints 2009 victory here in Atlanta: As for the new stadium, they've been making noise about that for a while and I'm not really sure what the issue is, especially since the Georgia Dome just underwent a massive makeover. It's a nice facility though not as good as those dedicated to football only. It's a multi-use building like the Superdome and most if not all such places are multi-million dollar examples of the saying "jack of all trades, master of none."In time for Sunday's grudge match, the NY Post has blessed us with their latest masterpiece....
