LONDON – As part of the International Series, the Falcons, who are set to play their first regular season game outside of North America, produced a glossy 64-page commemorative book highlighting the team, owner Arthur Blank's businesses and community initiatives and the history of the city.
The Falcons viewed the trip as part trade mission and wanted to be an Ambassador for the city.
"Big Dreams have always driven this town and they always will," Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed is quoted on the second page.
The Falcons (2-5) will host the Detroit Lions (5-2) as the home team at 9:30 a.m. Sunday at historic Wembley Stadium.
The game is a part of the NFL’s 2014 International Series. The Falcons played an exhibition games in Tokyo, Japan in 2000 and 2005, defeating Dallas and Indianapolis at the Tokyo Dome.
