It won't happen. My family has had tickets since 1990, I grew up in Lawrenceville and the fam still lives in Suwanee, and they think the Earth revolves around the north suburbs... But it still won't happen. They don't have the road infrastructure to deal with 75,000 people.

The city of Atlanta needs to just come to grips with the fact that the next stadium is going to be owned by Blank and they are going to have to foot the bill for part of it. As it stands, the Falcons are one of the lowest valued teams in the NFL, largely because of the (lack of) stadium revenue sharing by the state.
