If they only played football on MARTA

I wonder how successful we would be at persuading Arthur Blank to move the Falcons out of the newly renovated Georgia Dome and onto the southbound train that runs from the North Springs station to the airport. If he would do that, he would have one more Falcons fan!

This past Saturday, the Falcons played a scrimmage game at the Georgia Dome. We thought it would be fun to take Mitchell downtown (via MARTA) and go to the game. Dave wanted to check out the Dome since it had been renovated for this season. We also wanted to see how Mitchell would do at a game since Dave has season tickets.

3 trains later, we arrived downtown. We went to the CNN Center for lunch and then headed to the Dome. We got a ticket so we would be one of the 5000 who would get autographs after the game. We sat down and Mitchell was ready to leave. He kept saying he wanted to ride the train and go home.

We tried to distract him and get him interested in watching the game, but it didn't work. He just wanted to ride the train. We even tried to bribe him with ice cream. And nothing worked.

So we ended up leaving. 3 trains later, we arrived back at our station. And Mitchell was happy!

Here are a few pictures from the game...

Mitchell "enjoying" the game.

A little bit of a smile.
