No! That's correct. I went there in 2018 or 2019, before Covid - 19 and saw Atl vs Dal and the food was extremely responsible. I couldn't believe it

Pretty sure Atlanta has consistently ranked at or near the top in most affordable concessions, or at least there are options that are affordable.
Imagine the texans forum if they had cut Green this offseason? There seems to be something wrong that's not football related.
Seeing it on FB, apparently those are still the prices! Hell you can barely get that amount of food at a fast food joint for that price lol.
What is it about Kliff? He gets fired from Texas Tech and is rewarded with a head coaching job with the Cardinals. He fails. USC collapses the 2nd half of last year and he gets an OC job from the Raiders. Where is the beef?
Good for the Raiders. Kliff Kingsbury backs out of consideration to be Raiders' OC https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39451194/kliff-kingsbury-backs-consideration-raiders-oc
No surprises: The new kickoff rule crafted by NFL special teams coordinators would allow teams to attempt an onside kick only when trailing in the fourth quarter — and require them to declare it in advance, per sources. Language still being finalized and owners must approve. If the kickoff team declares they’re attempting an onside kick, they potentially could be allowed to utilize an unbalanced (6x4) formation, raising odds of recovery. Just 5.2% were recovered in 2023 and there just two surprise onside kicks, thanks largely to run-ups being banned. NFL special teams coordinators met Saturday at the combine. Other notes on their proposal … Setup zone: The kick and return teams would line up on the receiving team’s 40- and 35-yard lines, respectively, and not leave until the ball is touched or reaches the “target zone” (20-yard line to goal line). Touchbacks: If the ball is kicked into the end zone, the receiving team gets it at the 35. If the ball is kicked into the target zone and rolls into the end zone, the receiving team gets it at the 20. Under new, health and safety-related rules in 2023, just 22% of kickoffs were returned, and none in the Super Bowl. The NFL tasked special teams coordinators with creating a rule that both increases return rates and delivers an acceptable injury rate. This is their proposal. The hope for all parties is this new rule would make the kickoff game exciting again, eliminating the speed and space that might result in higher injury rates while incentivizing teams to put the ball in play. A vote could come at the NFL annual meeting March 24-27. If approved, the new rules actually should raise both the frequency and success rate of onside kicks, raising chances of a late comeback. But with the setup zone now slated to be ahead of the ball, the element of surprise goes away because a different formation is required.
As @TomPelissero said, the NFL is working on a proposal that INCLUDES teams having to declare onside kicks. But it's part of a much larger concept that'll have teams kicking off from the opponent's 40-yard line, with an aim on increasing returns, taking space/speed out. The proposal ... • Kickoff team lines up on the plus-40. Same alignment rules. Everyone but kicker has foot on the 40. • Return team lines up 9-10 players in setup zone b/w the 35 and 30. Six must have their foot on the 35. • 1-2 returners b/w the 20 and goal line. • No one but the kicker and return men can move until the ball is touched by the returner. • If the ball doesn't cross the 20 in the air, it's treated as out of bounds, goes to the 40. • If kicker kicks it into the end zone on the fly, touchback comes out to the 35. • If return team lets it roll into the end zone, the touchback goes to the 20. Idea was developed by Saints STC Darren Rizzi and Cowboys STC John Fassel. Those two and Bears STC Richard Hightower presented it to Roger Goodell and the competition committee last week. So this is why, again, as Tom said, the onside kick rules needed to be adjusted. The hope is it'll eliminate the 25-yard headstart to collision that the current space and speed create, and flip the number of touchbacks-to-returns, which is 80/20 now.
