[BusSport]

Looks pretty badass:

With close to three-quarters of the construction done, these are its vital statistics:

Width: 28 feet

Height: 25 feet

Cost: $3 million

That looks pretty neat.

Impressive....

Can the folks building that statue head down to Miami and replace that gay ass eye sore in center field at Marlins Park?

 

[VikingFan2k2]

I like it. Nice stamp to put right outside the stadium.

 

[BallsOfFurry]

A TD for sure. We'll see it every time a Falcons' home game is televised.

Nice But, but from a Distance you cannot tell if this an Eagle or a Falcon..... In fact I would say it looks more like an Eagle...

Especially given the Eagles, Silver Wing Logo on the Helmet....

A tremendous monument to nothing but ego. Someone please tell me the owner paid for that statue out of pocket...

Can't say with 100% confidence and I'm too lazy to look it up, but I'm 90% sure that Arthur Blank is writing the check for that one.

I give it 18 months before you see that thing get turned into a decepticon in a movie.

 

[USCDoom]

Its a Fucking Eagle. The more Pics I see I see an Eagle...

Wow, looks like Falcons completely ripped off the Old Eagles Logo...

Nah, I got money on it being part of an explosion. Michael Bay got me covered.

I might actually watch a Bay Film in that case...

Nah, they make their money off of Chinese viewers where the plot's anemicness isn't a problem. Same way that World of Warcraft movie made money.

The owner ponied up a billion for stadium construction.
When you're bidding on the biggest non-Olympic sporting events it's not just ego.
The stadium already has the 2019 Super bowl, the 2020 final four, plus The SEC Championship Game, The Peach Bowl/ Playoff Game and The Kickoff Classic every year.

Understand I am specifically talking the statue.

The tail feathers are obviously those of a falcon.
