That was going to be my other comment...are there really any die hard Falcons fans? Like, REAL die hards? I've always thought ATL was comprised mostly of people from different parts of the country who had other primary NFL rooting interests.
That seems like a silly question. The Falcons have been in Atlanta for more than 50 years and the city doesn't have more transplants than Miami or many other cities. Over the course of 5 decades, I guarantee you the team has gotten tens of thousands of pretty hardcore fans in Georgia and even surrounding states that don't have a pro team. No one is saying it's Green Bay, and I know college football might be more popular than pro in SEC territory, but come on.
