The Georgia Dome

We are still working on seeing all 32 NFL Stadiums for Connor's NFL Stadium Project, so while we were in Atlanta, we took a tour of the Georgia Dome, where the Atlanta Falcons play.  Before we got there, Connor informed me that what he really wanted to do was to flip on the 50 yard-line.  So, he spent the entire tour waiting for that moment.  Of course, the field was the very last stop on our tour...

But, let's begin with the beginning:



Outside the stadium is a courtyard that is a full-sized football field, with fountains for the end zones.  Connor enjoyed running the 100 yards between the fountains.

Connor found a seat that he liked on the mezzanine level.

Each high school team that makes the state playoffs is invited to send in a football helmet for display.


A view of the dome. I believe that the tour guide said it was the largest cable supported dome in North America. Or something like that. My fact checker was busy chasing Lex around so that he wouldn't get into trouble. He wanted to get onto the field, and he was going to stop at nothing to get down there. Staying with the tour guide?  He wasn't interested in that so much.

Finally, we made it to the field. Connor was so excited that he just took off running for the end zone:


Then, we got down to the business of flipping on the 50 yard-line. Connor did it first:


And then Lex wanted to flip, too.


I love it when Connor runs past and yells "Look out!" in this video. I must confess to watching it over and over and over because that is just so funny to me.
