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.
