Falcons Plan To Start Selling PSLs For New Stadium Early Next Year

The Falcons "plan to start selling personal seat licenses for their new stadium early next year," according to Tim Tucker of the ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION. Falcons President & CEO Rich McKay "did not answer the question" of how much the seat licenses will cost. But he said that the stadium’s 71,000-seat capacity is "designed to ensure a range of tickets 'so that people would have price choices, people would have location choices.'” The team has said that all season tickets, "regardless of seat location, will require a PSL." Prices for PSLs "won’t be announced before January" because they "must be approved by the Georgia World Congress Center Authority board." McKay said that the Falcons next year will "schedule meetings 'with every single one of our season-ticket holders' in the stadium preview center to go over pricing and financing options." The club yesterday also "provided an update" on construction of the stadium, which is well underway. AMB Sports & Entertainment Group Project Coordinator Shara Mitchell said, “We have about five more weeks in the foundations (work). Then in early February, you’ll see the concrete prefab bowl being placed in the stadium. That’s where your seats are (eventually) installed" (ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION, 11/20).
