Time for Falcons to call for “REDOUT”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
What have the Falcons been waiting for?
University of Georgia did the blackout thing.
Georgia Tech is going for the whiteout tonight.
Why haven’t the Falcons called for a “REDOUT” for Sunday’s big NFC South matchup with the Carolina Panthers? (They could go blackout and wear the all black uniforms, but I agree with the Alabama people. who pointed out that you normally only wear black to a funeral.)
It’s no secret that the Dome hasn’t been rocking, despite the 4-1 home record. Folks get inside the Dome after to kickoff and seem to spend first quarter finding their seats or sitting on their hands.
It will be interesting to see if the crowd can make it inside time for Sunday’s big game since kickoff has been pushed back to 4:15 p.m.
How can the fan gets more lively? Why is the crowd so late to the games? Ready for the Redout? Blackout? Whiteout? No out at all?
