Falcons Tickets

Want to secure Falcons tickets for the upcoming season? You're not alone. The popularity of professional football in and around Atlanta has reached an all-time high, and shows no signs of eroding any time soon. During each of the past three seasons, from 2002 through 2004, the team has drawn more than 500,000 total fans to see NFL action at the Georgia Dome. In fact, during that span they have sold approximately 98% of the total tickets available for their home games. Further, according to a March 2005 press release available on the team's official website, the team is also doing quite well in the season ticket department. In the aforementioned press release, Atlanta owner Arthur Blank said, "With a season ticket waiting list of over 20,000 fans, it's clear that Falcons fever is continuing to gain momentum." Without a doubt, they have become one of professional football's hottest attractions.

Michael Vick: One Great Reason To Buy Falcons Tickets

Certainly, one of the catalysts behind the growing popularity of Falcons tickets is superstar quarterback Michael Vick. Vick was drafted first overall by Atlanta in 2001, making him the first African American quarterback ever taken with the No. 1 pick. He was 20-1 during his two-year career with the Hokies of Virginia Tech, and as a freshman he led the country in passing efficiency with 180.37 (the second highest total ever) while finishing third in the voting for the Heisman Trophy. He made his professional debut in December of 2001, rushing for 173 yards in a victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Now entering his fifth season, and his second running the West Coast offense under coach Jim Mora, Vick remains one of the most explosive players in the National Football League. He has already thrown for nearly 7,000 yards and 37 touchdowns in just 38 career starts, and has also run for more than 2,300 yards and 14 scores.
