    Free Falcons tickets, choice of 4 games, which would you have chose?

    Now, I do like the Falcons since I live in Atlanta, have for a long time, and likely will for a really long time too, and have a wife from here.

    We got word yesterday that we had 4 games to pick from.

    We get tix to at least 1 game a year, minimum, for free, for now these are the choices. Great seats.

    9/29 Patriots, Sunday night football
    10/7 Jets, Monday night football
    11/10 Seahawks, regular start time 1PM
    12/29 Panthers, regular time, last game of the year

    I went to the home opener against New England in Buffalo, and seem to always see New England. Went to the Falcons Monday night game against the Broncos last year, and have been other years, it takes me 2 hours to get home from night games from the Georgia Dome!! And I live like 11 miles from the Dome!

    I chose the Seahawks game.

    Falcons-Seahawks has that revenge game potential and it might have seeding implications. Falcons-Pats will be entertaining at least. The other two are horrendous.

    I'd take the Seahawks game. That's the best matchup out of the group unless you want to attend a MNF game.

    How did you end up with 4 free tickets? That's not a bad deal at all. I've always believed that if your county pays for the stadium then every county taxpayer should get a free ticket to a game every so often. Of course it couldn't be very often and it would need to rotate to sell tickets to the stadium. Even if it was only once every 5 years or so at least you are getting something out of your money. Your money is building the stadium and you should at least get something for your money.

    My wife works for the Alcohol distributor, she actually functions as a Craft beer specialist, educates bars and restaurants about beer, the brewing process, and how to pair beers with food, and what to charge. We usually end up with 1 game to choose from early on, and then people end up changing their mind and we sometimes get other tickets too, and I DVR the Bills games those days.

    I am a very lucky fellow.

    I went to the Bills/Colts 9-6 Monday Night game in 1997... MNF isn't always the right choice.
