Remember that choosing MARTA and carpooling are excellent options and arriving early is the best way to ensure that you don’t miss any of the action. Falcons’ Landing – an interactive fan experience with games, prizes, live music, concessions, special guest appearances and live broadcasts – opens three hours prior to every Falcons’ home game. Entertainment and warm-ups begin inside the Dome at 5:30 p.m. Falcons and Colts kickoff at 7:30 p.m.
