Royale with Cheese Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Atlanta. UGA Bulldogs, Atlanta Braves and NASCAR are well above the Falcons. Sure there was great coverage with the Falcons in their Super Bowl run but if they aren't dominating, they're on the back burner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've come to think that the best cities to visit for games are those with good food, unique and interesting sites, and greet tailgates. Based on those criteria, Atlanta isn't really that bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found out later that the game was sold out and people were there....just not in the seats. There's so much activity inside the stadium that it does take away from the people watching the actual game. I went to the bathroom and saw a restaurant packed. People were watching the game on TV and not from their seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I have had to work in every NFL city-not related to anything sports- and I did not enjoy Seattle at all. I generally look for sport bars with people that root for the local team and have some clue of events in sports otherwise, Seattle did not have either. Each night I tried someplace new for a month and never found one. When I see someone ripping Jax I am surprised because they have a nice beach and lots of sports bars and friendly people. But I think everyone would love New Orleans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sports bars in Bellingham are more populous and more informed than those in Seattle itself. But, when it comes to food, activities, sites and great neighbourhoods to walk, Seattle really is a great city. It's the one that I've been to the most games in aside from Buffalo, so I may be a little bit biased.

But I see it the same way as you...I hope to see a game there in the near future for their attractive game day experience. I've said that for years but can never pony up and find a traveling partner willing to pony up for NFL ticket prices. Other than their BBQ reputation, I have no incentive to visit if not for foolsball. OK has just as good BBQ as anyone, so...boo to KC.

Oh yeah definitely don't let my other post steer you from going to a Chiefs game...it is absolutely a fun football trip. The BBQ joints are delicious and were fun places to hang as there were lots of other Bills fans there too. The tailgating was great and the stadium is beautiful(I'm much more a fan of the traditional stadiums than the new ones being built these days). So for those things KC ranks very high on my list but as far as stuff to do in the city and nightlife KC ranks right at the bottom out of the away games I've done but I am one of those guys who can have fun anywhere I go so I certainly don't want it to seem like I am complaining about the time I had when I was there.

Kirby Jackson Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Well if anyone ever wants to come to New Orleans I’ll be happy to put together an itinerary. It can range from degenerate to total degenerate and I’ll only charge a couple hundred. After my brother’s bachelor party my friends and I are entertaining the thought of starting a niche travel agency. Basically for a few hundred bucks we will plan out your weekend with a money back guarantee (that doesn’t apply if you are pissed that you got robbed in the French Quarter).

They wanted to take me to New Orleans, and it would have been pricey! Kirby would have been worth the $200 moderate degenerate tour, but I went for Mercedes Benz stadium and stuck to soccer. I really thought it was the MB Dome, and now I’m not sure. .

People are really strange. While I generally agree with this, there was a Bills game in Jax maybe 10 years ago that was the most miserable sporting event I have ever attended. Even Marcus Stroud, a Bill fresh from years in Jax, said it was the hottest %#@$&*%$ game he’s ever played in. They were rotating OLine. We had expensive seats, and realized at one point were were the only people left in our row. BLISTERING hot, and I lived in FL at the time. We eventually joined everyone else hiding in the shade and AC afforded by the club section and watched on TV. BRUTAL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
