Cobb County residents want to let the Falcons know they have their back for the big game Sunday.

It's a 20-mile drive from the Square to the Georgia Dome and a 820-mile drive to NRG Stadium where the Falcons will take on the Patriots on Super Bowl Sunday.

Even still, if you come to Marietta Square at 2 p.m. Saturday, you'll apparently see people sending good vibes to Houston.

Marietta's Strand Theatre will air the Super Bowl on Sunday

The event that started Sunday on a private Marietta citizen Facebook group of nearly 11,000 members. Since then, it's spread to the Marietta Square Experience page.

Attendees are encouraged to make signs and wear Falcons gear.

There's no way of knowing who or how many folks will show up, but even if it's just one Cobber surely Matt Ryan and the gang will appreciate it.
