FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- In an effort to enhance the game day experience for all fans, the Atlanta Falcons and the Georgia Dome today announced the club’s Fan Code of Conduct for the 2008 season. Similar in nature to the NFL Fan Code of Conduct recently announced, the Falcons code applies to all season ticket holders, their guests and all fans attending home games at the Georgia Dome.
“We’re committed to providing the best possible game day experience,” said Atlanta Falcons President Rich McKay. “It’s imperative that we create an environment that is safe and enjoyable for all Falcons fans.”
The Falcons Fan Code of Conduct will work in partnership with the expectations set by the NFL for fan conduct, and will address behavior that could potentially detract from the game day experience. Atlanta Falcons and Georgia Dome officials will enforce the Fan Code of Conduct throughout the season, with violators subject to removal from the Georgia Dome or possible revocation of season ticket privileges.
“Every member of our game day staff is dedicated to providing each fan a safe and enjoyable environment to enjoy the game,” said Georgia Dome General Manager Carl Adkins. “We want the memories fans take away with them to be amazing ones that leave them looking forward to coming back to the Dome.”
