| ->> Just wondering on shooting the Falcons can you stand on the siide lines. Or do you have tot take a knee. Also how early does the crowd start showing up. I generally get to a staduim 3 hours early is that okay ? Thanks David |

->> David- The sidelines are uniform throughout the league, so you'll always have access from the 30 yard to the back of the end zone and behind the end zone. Some stadiums however have a few caveats.
FedEx field for example, you can shoot from behind the end zone, but it is very difficult to do so as you only have 3 feet of clearance to the wall and the cables to raise and lower the netting are right under your feet. Qualcomm Stadium has plenty of room behind the end zone but is extremely tight to the sides of the end zone.
The Georgia Dome on the other hand has plenty of room all the way around the field and an elevated seating bowl. I'm a kneeler through and through so I don't know if it's mandatory to kneel, but I do not believe it is.
As for arrival, three hours is gravy. I usually just take the Marta in to avoid traffic so I can't speak for automobile traffic, but foot traffic gets very congested starting about 1 hour before the game through 1 hour after. |

| ->> Ditto on the Marta, great system. After some games the crowd is so large the Marta cops let you just go down the steps without paying. But you will probably be transmitting after the game, so quick escape should not be a factor. |
