The Falcons have scrapped their annual Midtown Touchdown Fan Fest at Piedmont Park after two seasons and replaced the interactive event with a simulated game that is open to the public at the Georgia Dome, Aug. 2.

The night preceding the game at their home stadium, Atlanta will stage a public scrimmage at Mill Creek High School in Hochston.

The change in routine was announced along with their training camp schedule Tuesday.

The Falcons will open training camp July 26 and conclude Aug. 15. Most of the practices, especially in the first two weeks of training camp, will be open to the public at the team's Flowery Branch facility, free of charge.
