State Farm Falcons Landing: State Farm Falcons Landing serves as the pregame epicenter for Falcons fans prior to entering the Georgia Dome. Nestled between the Georgia Dome and Philips Area on Andrew Young International Blvd., State Farm Falcons Landing provides an energetic atmosphere and interactive games. State Farm Falcons Landing is free of charge and will be open from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. before Sunday's game. Please see below for some of the highlighted activities that will take place on State Farm Falcons Landing for this game:

  • Former Falcons wide receiver Billy Johnson, better known as "White Shoes," will be at the NCR tent on State Farm Falcons Landing (near the Falcons Merchandise Trailer) signing autographs from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Johnson was a member of the Atlanta Falcons from 1982-1987 and led the team in receptions and receiving yards during the 1985 season.
  • Experience our new activation with Pavegen called Falcons Power Battle. Pavegen Falcons Power Battle set fans against each other in a fun, timed energy battle. It features sixteen Falcons branded tiles in eight staging modules. The screen displays the real time energy produced by each participant. Two groups consisting of eight fans battle head to head to see who can produce the most energy in 30 seconds.
  • Honor the military member in your life at Falcons Landing. We'll be taking photos of fans holding up a #FalconsSalute card, honoring the military members in their lives that will later be featured on the video board in-game.

Falcons and MARTA: The Falcons Fan Patrol will be distributing Atlanta Falcons branded foam fingers to the first 500 Falcons fans at each of the following MARTA stations. We encourage fans to ride MARTA to the Georgia Dome on game day and Rise Up with the Falcons Fan Patrol!
