The Falcons fans won't travel. NE fans will have SB fatigue the secondary market for tickets will be cheap. NE fans will still outnumber Falcons fans.
Atlanta fans can't fill out playoff games on their own. They were a lot more Packer fans in Atlanta then Steelers fans in New England. Also there were a lot of Steeler fans in New England probably to 3000.I would think Falcons fans would travel.
granted, theres not a lot of them...but its drivable and the flight $$ is not ridiculous.
crazy stat shown yesterday...in 160+ or something seasons...the city of Atlanta has 1 title.
the 95 Braves.
don't underestimate them...
I went to SB 36 it was mainly fanbases.How do Super Bowl crowds typically breakdown? I picture it having so many neutral people at the game that you really wouldn't worry about a crowd noise issue. Obviously I've never attended one.
X% to one team
X% to the other team
X% of just neutral Super Bowl attendees
Pats will keep a safety over the top on Jones. They won't give up long bombs.Lol good luck getting safety help on Julio Jones when you have Gabriel, Coleman, Freeman and Sanu to worry about too.
How do you think they manage Jones like they did Brown Alsacs , I just don't see the Patriots defense getting it done. I can see their offense pulling some ridiculousness, just not the D.

SB 36 was 2 to 1 Patriots fans over Rams fans.
I would say that about 25-33% of the crowd are neutrals. However a clear majority of the fans are for the teams. It can get loud especially in a Dome. I know the crowd noise affected the Rams on the blitz Warner threw the pick-6 to Ty Law. He tried audibling and either the team missed it and nobody ran a hot a route or I don't know.
when it happens, don't let life get in the way.I'm not doubting you, it just seems strange to me. These teams play road games all the times where 100% of the crowd is against you, including Domes as there seems to be more roofs in the league now. They manage to function and win those games. I guess for the SB you could say they never prepped for the noise because they didn't expect it.
The real point I'm trying to make is that I need to go to a Super Bowl but I'm stuck rooting for the team with the longest playoff drought in the NFL. And I was a broke HS Senior thru College Junior (ish) when they were a (losing) fixture in these things.
Oh, they will most definitely pull the D.Lol good luck getting safety help on Julio Jones when you have Gabriel, Coleman, Freeman and Sanu to worry about too.

except in 2003 they were cheating by spying.

A lot of these look like Final Fours, either inconvenient cities or cities with inconvenient stadium locales (like SF, Zona, Miami...).
There's an easy way to settle this. A big easy way. Every Super Bowl and Final Four from now until the end of time will be held in New Orleans.
The catch is that when they build their new big stadium one day, it can't stray far from where the current one is.
